Considering that the sunroof barely opens and the rear windows don't open at all, how quickly does the A5 cool off when it's been parked outside in the sun and it's in the 80's (Fahrenheit)?

I never had any problems with my S5 being too hot...

Do you live somewhere with similar summers to my area (upper midwest)?

My car is black with a black interior, and it seems to cool down fine to me. I do use a sun screen in my windshield during the heat of the summer, which helps a lot.

I live near Philadelphia, and we get plenty steamy in the summer.

Black on black here. First week I had the car it was California summer (90's), and I have to park outside at work. Oven, it was, returned when I did.
Tinted the sunroof with the other windows, and use a shield for the front window, and it's tolerable.

I lower the windows while walking to the car (hold down the unlock button on the remote) and put the AC on when I get in. Car is cool within 2 minutes.

Ahh sorry, I live in Chicago. We have had summers up to 100 or so and never really noticed it being an issue. Of course I have a black car with white seats and 30% tint all around.

I hve a black on black in Houston (95-100 in summers (or higher) and >90% humidity). I've never had a problem with it cooling very well. The window tint is very helpful tho. It cools very fast.
