100%

this is the exact info I was seeking!

Absolutely agree with this I’ve always want all 3 trim models or at least base mid tier and then the hugest trim all in one place to compare

Thank you and yeah i totally agree with your assessment, i purchased an S5 sportback, I would love an RS5 or RS7 but the cost / performance drove me to the S5 at the top trim Prestige. I am loving the car so far.

Valid comment

Thank you, I've been wanting to make another for a long time but the stars really have to align with these production shortages!

The original RS5 with the V8 still has pure and non-artificial sound! 👌

Thank you!

Still happy with the 2021 S5 SB??

@@V5869If you’re considering buying one, do it. I have a 2018 S5 SB I bought 1 year ago with 39k in exactly a year I’ve put 26k on it. Not a single issue, and I beat the shit out of it. It’s also tuned, the 3.0T is the best engine Audi has ever made. All I’ve done is oil changes every 5K and I’ve been golden. Highly recommend.

Which tuner were you looking at ? I was considering the Race Chip.

@@bayouboy8644 I'd only ever go with APR

@@codyhubert6178 Thx for the feed back, do you know if they have the motor insurance ? The race chip comes with 7,500 insurance if you were to damage your motor.

@@bayouboy8644 Sadly, I think the best you'll get is a warranty from whoever installed the tune. I did a lot of research before getting mine, and allegedly it does not impact performance or longevity of the motor to any notable degree. I've had mine for about a year and easily recommend it. Also, the power figures are probably the best you'll get. My car is a B8.5, and I got a 71 ft/lb increase, exactly as advertised.

@@codyhubert6178 Thank you, much appreciated , Love my S5, but would love the RS 5 motor. I will do some more home work.

I just bought a 2021 RS5 and I can’t get enough!

How do you guys afford this shit 😂

@@devn3813 working hard and probably no kids

@@lukebennett4121 I work hard and don’t get paid shit

I own an RS5 as well and have to agree. I do not have kids, but work my ass off. If its something you want you can make it a goal in your life. But everyone's life is different.

Thats awesome..such a nice car! Enjoy!

Of course, give me a honk if you see me running around!

How does it handle and does it feel like its a fwd or rwd more

Did you consider other grand tourer such as E53 amg coupe, LC500, M440I coupe?

Thank you and congrats!

Had to cover all of the bases with this one, thank you!

That's the one to get. The second to last year of the naturally aspirated V8. Take care of that gem.

Thank you!

What's better except performance?

@@paralelmindThe A4 feels like a normal luxury car. Where the S4 feels like something special. Its much louder, seats are nicer, the wheels are wider, the suspension feels more planted while driving on the roads. The S4 also overall looks better with the right package. My S4 has the black optic package with red seats and carbon fiber trim. Its a worlds of differences from my A4 interior. If the S4 was only faster I would not get it.

@@Mike-dd8bd i see. Thanks for replying!

I have an 2018 A4 and I am going to get a new s5 next month. I just think its about that time.

If you have an "A" car with the sports suspension, it's very close to the "S" cars in terms of handling, AND might exceed a comparable S car due to lower weight/better center of weight vs. the larger engine. I considered the S, but with a stage 1 tune, the A w/ sport suspension is in the same league in terms of the usable/daily power, and the MPGs still stay over 30 on the highway.

It used to be for the previous generation! Audi has phased out the supercharged 3.0L.

If I can get ahold of a current gen E450 or c43, sure!

Which trim do you have with your S5? I'm looking into one

@@kevinz305 Prestige. I pretty much have a fully loaded spec. Good luck on your search.

@@store1720 if you don’t mind me asking, how much did you get yours for (MSRP & out the door price) and in what state?

@@kevinz305 Honestly, I cannot say the out the door price. However, MSRP was under 71k. I have purchased 5 Audis in the past 2.5 years and this being my second S5 Sportback. My dealership in Iowa has been good to me let alone they have great service. Good luck.

@@kevinz305 if you shouldn't have bought one yet, I just got a 2017 S5 maximum equip and 7k miles for 42k €. The deal of my life haha, just crazy. Only so u know what's possible, the car has no scratch, just as if it'd be brand-new.

Thanks, and yes, one of the Royal dealers usually gives me the cars for my videos!

Thank you, and yes, I've learned that, I don't think it effected the numbers much on the S5 or RS5 this time but my next audi video I will definitely give that a shot too!

I just got my 2018 a4 a couple weeks ago

congrats bro!

@ph8077 can you give a bit more information on the differences of RS5 coupe and M4 ? I'm in the market for a luxury coupe....I'm in the states with mixed roads, older but still want some performance.....love the stance of RS5 and won't track any of them ....E53 amg coupe is also a thought 😊

Thank you and Dragy! It's a little device that uses data from 1000s of satellites along with built-in accelerometers to pinpoint speed and stuff.

Lucky that I m living in Germany😎

@@MarcelB787 Here in the US we have a similar situation. We can go whatever speed we like. But you might run across those independant speedometer verification testors that willingly share their measured results for a charge. Just wish it was voluntary.

How is readability record from last 3 years? I keep hearing here and there that AUDI is worst from German brands when it comes to reliability.

@@sunshadow9704 aside from some computer issues and an annoying rattle (early manufacture) i like the S5 a lot.

​@@tomschnabel6146 Hmmm. You are proving the words on the street. Rattles on 67K car? Even cheap junk like Honda doesnt rattle. This is odd. But Thank you for honest reply. Was computer issue covered by the warranty? Would you keep your S5 past 4 years when the warranty expires?

@@sunshadow9704 just got a 5 years ext. warranty. i bought the car after my 2009 Porsche 997 C2S was totaled by a texting teenager. I wanted to get another Porsche but couldn't find any manual shift cars comparable to the one i lost. I have come to love the S5 for the ride quality (LA still has bad streets), the superb ZF 8-speed tranny, and the luxury interior which comes with the "prestige" level. The car is fast and smooth and looks great. also less common than Porsches esp. in LA.

And no warranty! If you have the money for all those upgrades, why not just spend the money to get the RS5?

@@PeriodicaIs Buy expensive parts, pay a mechanic to install them? Doesn’t sound much cheaper.

You will still save a ton of money upgrading the S5

@@northernninety7 you quite literally save thousands of dollars even after doing extensive work/tunes. You can also literlwlt just get a 800$ stage 1 tune and have 440 horsepower in the S5. Switch it to stock when at dealer if still under warranty and ur good to go bud ;)

I went this route and kept going to stage 2. It ruined the car. The cats, engine mounts, cooling system just isn't designed to make more power. So you start making more power and things start to break. The tuners don't tell you that, and fixing some of those is a royal pain and is very expensive. If you go to Audi to replace the cats, they pull the engine. If you go to Audi for the engine mounts, they pull the engine. At least the cooling upgrades aren't that bad. If you do have a lift or a mechanic that knows Audis very well, then it isn't terrible. Otherwise you will easily spend more money than the RS in a few years.

Does it look way wider than s5?

That is called 1ft rollout, it's the industry standard for measuring 0-60, here is a full article on it! www.caranddriver.com/features/a30085446/acceleration-testing-procedure-change-rollout/

Until I tune my RS5 😈
