Babu,
Ive had an A5 for about 9 months and really like how it works. The only
thing I was disappointed in was the charger takes 15 hours to fully charge
the battery. The dealers I was researching it through described it as a
"fast" charger so I expected something like 5 hours. The rapid chargers are
quite expensive, $130 or more.
