Audi Coupe/Hatchback

The Bottom Line: The 2008 Audi A5 is a beautiful coupe with an excellent sound system, making it fun to cruise around in or take on jaunts to the country. But it lacks some practicality with its mediocre mileage and navigation system.

The Bottom Line: The 2008 Audi R8 is a serious blast to drive on the right roads and would be incredible on the track, but we recommend going with the manual transmission to make it more drivable in everyday circumstances. The cabin electronics work well enough but aren't cutting edge.

The Bottom Line: With its refined cabin tech, very nice performance, and beautiful design, the 2008 Audi S5 excels in most areas, only being dragged down by poor mileage and unambitious cabin tech.

The Bottom Line: The 2008 Audi TT Coupe has an upscale look and is a blast on twisty roads. It might seem impractical and pricey, compared with other sports cars in the $50,000 range, but it is one of the best toys we can think of.

Specs: Coupe, 3.2 quattro, Gas

The Bottom Line: The 2008 Audi TT 3.2 Quattro is a unique sports car that can be pushed hard with little effort. It doesn't neglect the tech side of things, however, offering premium audio, navigation, and hands-free phone support.
