Engine
2.9TT V6
S5 is a 3,0 but only single turbo
444 hp
443 lbft
Can get comp trim
But that’s 15k more with no extra power
You’ll get more power in an M car, but it’s ugly
The C63 is now a 4 cylinder mess
Styling
Yes, the M3/4 twins are more dynamic and faster
But they look like that
This RS5 is gorgeous
Facelift in 2022
New headlights
Grille split detail like R8
Lower fascia adjustments (radar)
Taillights updated
Way better looking than the M or AMG
Practicality
This is what Audi does so well
Introduce practicality to performance
This is Sportback which means hatchback
Huge cargo area
Cant fold seats from here tho - M2
You dont get this in the M or AMG cars
It’s the same thing as you move up in size too
So better looking and more practical is what I was talking about when i said this might be the car to get now

Good sound on upshift

Porsche?

@mrscottmescudi10 Ай бұрын

@@crazytingz7006 Porsche is a level above all of those in my opinion, especially when it comes to the 911. Their exterior and interior styling is classic while also modern but I am not the biggest fan of it compared to some of the others. For example, the Panamera is beautiful but I prefer the RS5 more aggressive exterior styling and the more modern GT43/63 interior. I would only replace “BMW” with “Porsche” in the original comment but that’s just my personal preference. I will say the 911 Turbo S has always been my dream coupe but that’s mainly because of the performance and RWD dynamics. If performance and depreciation wasn’t a factor, then the new GT63 Coupe would be my first choice.

I’ve owned my 23 RS5 SB since late February. I still have a blast every time I get behind the wheel. I love the carbon fiber on both the exterior and interior and aside from the amazing power, the carbon is my favorite feature. Nice review, now see about doing a rolling review.

I just picked up a 2024 RS5 sportback competition. What i love about this car. Comes with Coilovers, dry carbon fiber everywhere, wider body and fenders.

MMi is better in my opinion. You get physical buttons that you can feel for when driving. B8.5 RS5 high revving V8 with dual clutch has much more character.

After my Alfa Guilia QV, (CTSv before) I didn't suspect I'd find a car as suitable for the "fun to drive factor". I was right: gave AMG (C63) and M a shot (M3 & M4), but wound up "settling" on an S5, which I promptly traded for the adult model. My RS5 is no QV level of can-you-control-it-fun and it can't compare to my CTSv pure power/handling + legit comfi-luxury.... but it's far better than what I drove from MB & BMW. I am NOT an Audifista... but somehow seem to be stumbling my way into it (3 S/RS Audis last 8 yrs lol).

RS5 look much better than M3, is short term memory in 10 MPG also better than M3?

My 2020 M340iXDrive. Looks better than the new 3s.

I have - SOMEhow - wound up with 3 Audis over the last 8 yrs & I can't abide an M enough to even warrant making an offer, test drives be damned. I come from a long line of fine cars (Guilia QV, Caddy CTS-v, S5, S4, '86 Shelby Daytona lol), but I'm 0-for-everything on finding a reason to buy an M since my first 1992 experience. Make the car livable inside: doesn't have to be as fancy as MB nor as pretty as Audi.... but I picked up my RS5 last week after remarking to "M sales specialist" how nouveau-1990s the BMW had become. In fairness, that Cadillac circa-2010 pop-out screen was a nice touch... albeit too late, plus the reason Caddy bailed on it is still something BMW didn't consider, I guess (spills + gravity). 🤷‍♂🙄🤦‍♂ I'm not always open-tracking my car & eventually, I need to live with it daily too. YMMV
