Honestly I think that gen a5 is absolutely goregous. My colleague got rid of his s5 and got a tts and has regretted it.

But if you dont need 4 seats boxster 100%, the bearing issues were innthe early models/996 era. By 06 or 07 they were sorted.

As for the a5, i mean these are not so bad these days in the reliability department, i had more go wrong in the first 2 years than my coworker did honestly. My nav died, exhaust rattled, had to have my wheel bearings replaced etc. His car just routine oil changes etc.

Plus the a5 just looks like a way more expensige car, and the interior fit and finish is another league, it kcils the 4 series ass in this regard and not even in the same league as a 2er. I love my 2 series, but the a5 is a better car for your needs.
