BMW cancelled my first order without any direct communication to me but Nathan from SCL did an amazing job informing me and helping deal with a new order which was fulfilled. In most ways, the continued lack of communication from BMW sales who I dealt with directly (paperwork) persisted and is something that should be improved especially their antiquated paperwork driven approach but that is beyond SCLs remit. Nathan was honest, professional and supportive throughout and has left me with an experience which means SCL will be my first port of call next time.

Audi A5 Saloon
The Audi A5 Saloon is a luxurious executive vehicle that was launched in 2025 to replace both the outgoing Audi A4 Saloon and the A5 Sportback hatch. Despite being called a ‘Saloon’, this highly desirable Audi is actually a modern hatchback where the boot lid opens up with the rear window to make access to the luggage compartment easier.

The A5 made its name as a sleek, two-door version of the A4, before spawning a five-door fastback called the A5 Sportback. And now, to make matters even more confusing, Audi has replaced both the A4 Saloon and the A5 Sportback with this: the A5 Saloon. It’s a combination of the two names, and indeed the two cars, but it’s still here to compete with the likes of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the BMW 3 Series.
And Audi has done more than just fiddled with the nomenclature. The new A5 Saloon comes with a softer new look, a more stylish and more modern interior, and fresh chassis technology, which Audi hopes will allow the five-door car to contend with its compatriots. But for all that, it remains to be seen whether the new A5 can beat the C-Class and 3 Series at their own games, and whether customers will embrace the new branding.
