Having reviewed the Audi A5 and A5 cabriolet, Howard Ritchie takes it a step further by opting to review the S5 Sportback aka the high-performance variant of Audi's A5.
Is it dynamic? Is it a driver's car? And is it exciting?

Parking Assistance Advance
Audi Assistance Pack
Panoramic Roof
B+O 3d Sound System
Dynamic Steering and more....

WHAT WOULD GET... IF THEY WERE THE SAME PRICE... S5 OR M4?????

@valluvanthillairajah Жыл бұрын

I reckon a more fair comparison would be the RS4 and M4

@drlu3823 10 ай бұрын

I would get S5 anyday but m4 is compared with rs5 on it's speed and design

I think the authentic nature about the review is what makes this so easy to watch, it’s clear you know your cars and that confidence when you’re speaking is what separates this review from the malarkey on the new top gear cast.

I came across this video through my feed and this is my second comment. As good as the S5 ably gets over the bends and turns, I loved this production more so for the overall impact it made. Especially post 4:55 the epic background score, as if watching a Ron Howard movie with Hans Zimmer doing the music, made a mark. Good effort Sir and to all your Crew and behind the scenes Team. Let them know there are lots like me, who wait to see your next production. I wish you rise to summit in everything you do, not only Auto journalism. Enjoyed, liked (sub'd already). Thank you.

Drive my 2018 model year s5 for three years. No single problem at all. The lease term is ending on May 2020. It is only 30000km. I don’t know if I should buy back or switch to C43 sedan.

@grimreaper9383 3 жыл бұрын

Just ordered a 2021 S5 technik and I'm trading in my 2018 c43 with around 30,000 km on it. Personally I think the c43 is more fun to drive a bit more throaty but I'm 40 so I'm not street racing. Figured try out the Audi S5.

@williamanderson2447 Жыл бұрын

I'm in the US, and I live in a small town. Having said that, the autonomous driving features are cute, and fun for a short time, but wear on you after a bit. I like to drive. And the way I like to drive requires me to pay attention...ALL OF THE TIME. So that shit got turned off right away. Also got the APR stage 1 tune, and typically get 29-34 MPG on the highway, when I'm not really enjoying that tune. The EPA rates it as 27. But Audi screwed up with the telematics module, and they are refusing to replace it. So they basically lost me as a customer.

Noted mate.... Yes - I would say personally - the nav is not my favourite, I kind of alluded, I also mentioned the B+O in the video also as something you might not want. The 22mpg round town is less than great but prob irrelevant for a car like this on balance? Other than that, seriously... No road noise. Super soft steering, amazing handling, driving position brilliant, V Expensive... not so much if you lease. What I did also hint at was that I can't comment on what one might be like without the options I mentioned in the video, as that would make it unfair as this was loaded £63k. Thanks for note and comment on edit.

On the S4 Avant Vs C43 estate. Just drove them both last week. C43 has turbolag and suspension feels stiffer. The interior is nice though. Settled on the S4 as delivered the torque far quicker and the car felt overall more special. S4 and S5 share same engine and cockpit interior.
