2. 2008 Audi S5 quattro 2dr Coupe AWD (4.2L 8cyl 6M)
Editors' rating: 9.3
The good: The beautiful 2008 Audi S5's engine delivers smooth power, while the Quattro all-wheel-drive system keeps the car on the road. The Bang & Olufsen audio system is in the top three car stereos we've heard, and the iPod integration complements it well.
The bad: There's a big price to pay for this kind of power, and it's in the form of lousy gas mileage.
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 gas mileage and unambitious cabin tech.
