The guys take the Audi S5 for a drive in the snow in this third and final part of our Sports Coupes comparison. And in the final discussion, how well will the upstart Cadillac CTS fair against this Audi and the BMW 335is?

I noticed the 335i tested was a manual, but the S5 was automatic. Although the balance of the cars is a factor, I suspect the automatic transmission is largely responsible for the lack of feel reported in the review. I'm considering an S5 and if I take the plunge, it will certainly be a manual for that reason.
@EverydayDriver11 жыл бұрын
The RS5 is a fun car, but if we brought it to this comparison we'd have to also bring the M3 and the CTS-V... at that point all the cars are even more expensive. It would be a fun fight, though! Thanks for watching and commenting!

I love my 2010 S5 6MT. My only questions for the "drivers" in the comment section bashing the S5 for feeling "numb" and "un-involving"... Have you driven one with the upgraded rear differential and Drive Select? It becomes 2 different cars. "Comfort" feels nice and easy. "Dynamic" transforms it into a beast. It's incredible. 99% of my driving is on everyday commutes on public roads. For this purpose, there are few cars on the road better. Luxury and power in exceptional form. If your JOB is to race on the track, this is not the suit you wear to your office. This is the suit that destroys 90% of the competition it faces every day, but doesn't have to scuff its cufflinks demolishing the douche in the R/T next to you. It's Duane "The Rock" Johnson in a well tailored suit.

@cuts2thebone - Excellent question. The concept of this review was spurred by the 335is - the hottest 3 Series you can buy that Isn't the M3. So we gathered the models just beneath the M3, RS5, & CTS-V. The result was these 3 cars, which vary wildly in standard features and value for money.

The Audi just needs simple software tunning. You can reprogram its AWD system for more oversteer(It comes with very conservative and safe settings out of a factory, even in dynamic mode) and the V6 version can be chiptuned to 400+ HP, then it'll be the best, but you may lose warranty.

I've always had my eye on the 335 and the S5. I only buy used vehicles, so have been waiting for prices to come down. I also research the crap out of cars before I buy them and am a bit obsessive. Winner for me is the S5 for styling, interior fit and finish, and reliability. From everything I have read on forums, BMW's turbo on the 335 is absolute crap with wastegate issues and problems with the high-pressure fuel pump. Replacing the turbo is $7k. Google search "335 turbo issues" and you'll see search result after search result for problems, class-action lawsuits, etc.. Also, resell value for the 335 is much lower than the S5. You can buy a 2009 335i under $20k off a dealer lot. S5's are about $30k.

William Harrington Eh, the Internets seems to think there is a problem with the turbos. Also, when I was looking around for used 335's, "Rebuilt Turbo" was common in ads. I neither have access to all the raw data, nor am I trained actuary. It was just something I saw on the boards, in ads and other online sources. Same thing with the fuel pump. Don't know how hard it is to replace in a 335. I upgraded my fuel pump in my 4runner to push more gas to my supercharger and it wasn't that big a deal, even though the fuel pump wasn't exactly a $50 part. Labor wasn't too bad. Just a six pack of beer.

@broncovinnie - Point taken, but we think it depends on perspective here. Our approach was to gather the three highest models just under the fire-breathing M3, CTS-V, and RS5 - and that means these three cars. The A5 would have been underpowered in this company and wouldn't have been the best Audi offers underneath the RS5. And while the S5 we drove was far more money than the CTS, it is possible to get them cheaper and close to the 335is and the CTS in price.

@wilstave If you're referring to the 5th gear 335i vs S5, the BMW won by 6 hundredths of a second, not a "blows this out of the water" performance. But let put things into prospective, if you load up a 335i with X drive, nav and upgraded sound system you're at $59k vs $62k for the S5. If you load up the 335is the price is the same as the S5 but without all wheel drive. The Audi has a more refined interior & exterior and has more power but needs better steering feel. The 335 needs updating.

Yes, Merc does some nice interior work, but they also have their share of mis-steps. Also note the fact that when Ford & Dodge decided to finally improve their interiors they publicly set Audi (not Merc) as their target.

I'm the owner of an Audi A4, and it is a quattro model.

It doesn't feel as fast because the force on your body is less, but they really do make fast cars! Just my theory though!

@NoGoodJim The M5 will beat the S5 in every performance category and it's also $10k to $12k more money. The S5 is not a pure sports car, it's a GT. I've got one and it's a WONDERFUL highway car. I've had 3 BMWs and I really like this one best. I do wish that it had the same feel at the steering wheel as my older 3 series cars but the power and all wheel drive definitely make up for the deficiency. Also the S5's wheel feels better at higher speeds, but it's not as good as the BMW's wheel.

Capt Mifune I agree to a degree. You need to get the sport/m-sport models with adaptive suspension to get the performance you would expect from BMW. Electric steering has naturally taken away some feedback as well. I drove a 228i M-Sport last week without adaptive suspension and can honestly say it could have been stiffer. Steering was fairly numb. Overall BMW still owns the performance meat of luxury vehicles, besides Porsche of course.

Although I really admire the CTS and was extremely impressed by the styling when I saw a CTS coupe at an auto show, I have to say I'm disappointed by seeing it in-motion in this series. I think the styling of the CTS has to be admired up-close, so you can see the great tail-lights and fully appreciate the details. But at more realistic distances, how you see it on the road, it has dimensions that make it look more the size of an M1 tank than an M3 coupe. For that reason, I'd have the BMW.

i bought an S5 because of the exact opposite reason. the 335i looks exactly the same inside and out as a 320i, I actually like the drive of the 335i better, but i just didn't want to pay 130k for a car that looks the same as a 60k car. The S5 at least looks different to an A5. I think the best car to get is M3, which would be my dream car but is way out of my price range, i.e. 200k plus.

I mean it looks old now. They had to refresh it pretty quick and the refresh was quite drastic up front.

@bajabusta performance wise the S5 is on par with the others, the price can differ loads with specs obviously

I really enjoyed all 3 videos and I have owned a few of the cars in your review. Out of these three I would go with the Audi S5. I always found the 335i to be more fun to drive but the sound of the S5, and the interior win the day. At the limit the Audi will shut you down and the BMW will reward you all the way up to the limit of the car. For any of you who have owned these 2 cars you know exactly what I mean. The Caddie brand does not speak to me?

its crazy that the main point of contention for why the Audi didn't win was the price, but in a few months I'm buying one for 15k

My God! Paul have all the reason! the quattro is made for the curves and it's so confortable! I love the S5!

You would expect car reviewers and enthusiasts to choose the 335is, seeing as it is the most involving... You would expect people who don't know cars and what a piece of art to choose the S5 And the people who cannot afford a German to choose the Cadi

Personally, I would have said 335is was first, Audi S5 second, and CTS Coupe third.

Love watching your reviews. Would you be able to do a review on a MINI Cooper S?
@cuts2thebone12 жыл бұрын
awesome reviews, just curious how come you guys didn't bring the cts v to compare being a base price of the v is the same price as these two beef up cars ?

@therealmichaelw I'm sure they could get the cars. Though with the TT RS coming to the US I wonder what the guys would think of that? Since the S5 is basically a coupe, would the TT RS be the better buy with the Turbo I5.

Funny how Cadillac wants to compete with the Germans while asking the Germans for help all the time.

I love my 2015 S5. At 6’ 2.5”, this is not a 2+2. But who cares, my kids are all grown up and 99% of the time I’m alone in it.

Really, it sounds like the other guy doesn't like the S5 because it's the most refined.

Well that 3 series is being replaced by the new one so no point in going to buy that one new. Normally I would say BMW because they are more driver oriented, but because of such long and snowy Chicago winters, I'd take the S5. Plus its got V8 power.
