Your cell phone is still in the vehicle.

I’m an Audi tech. The small storage slot by the shifter is for your key fob. The deep storage compartment to the left of the steering wheel is for an umbrella.

Doug is the type of guy who stops at traffic lights in GTA.

Actually really like the volume knob location. Easily accessible when im resting my arm on the armrest.

Doug type of guy that goes to the macdonalds drive thru but eats the food inside the restaurant

"I like my performance cars subtle" -Doug *Buys Ford GT*

this car is for hitmen. why else would you have that compartment that's just long enough to hold a pistol with a silencer on it?

I work for Audi as an apprentice technician and learned that all Audi models have the volume nob on the passenger side console for safety reasons. There have been a few cases where people crash by having the passenger reach across the center console to adjust the volume. It’s safer and easier to have it near the passenger side for guest convenience and on the wheel for driver convenience. Plus one thing I noticed that no one really talks about is the safety features. A lot of Audi models adjust airbag deployment based on occupant weight, height, and even seating position to help adapt the airbag force during an accident. In addition the seat belts tense up ever so slightly whenever someone is tailgating you to help anticipate the “inevitable” rear accident. Furthermore, the rear headrest will increase height and angle to help restrict whiplash during a rear end collision. Nonetheless I love your channel and I will definitely be watching it more when thinking about my next purchase within a year or so. Just waiting for more options to appear in the RS3 like motorized seats to help it stand out more from the Jetta GLI 😂

I think Doug farts at 19:12 when he floors it.

Doug's favorite pickup line is "Do you have an innie or an audi?"

Gotta save that 10 cents a gallon in your 75000 car.

I believe the reason you don't get tire pressures until you're rolling is because of the way TPMS sensors work, not by actually measuring pressure but by measuring and comparing rolling radius across all four tires. The placement of the washer fill might be odd at first but you get to love it pretty fast. You also get used to the volume knob placement pretty quickly if you own any Audi that has that placement. When my right hand isn't on the wheel it's on the shifter and so the MMI and volume are right there..muscle memory. I just use that little storage spot for the fob. Not sure if that's the intent, but I put it either there or in the cupholder slot. And the sunshade...I love it. Every car needs one regardless of whether they have a glass panel or traditional sunroof. Allows air movement without any buffeting. Or bugs. Finally, your phone is still in the car.

I wonder when he's going to review the *1984* *Boeing* *727*

Doug that small storage place is for ur key

The small slot in the center stack is for the key. The cubby to the left of the steering wheel perfectly fits a glock. And the volume knob is where your hand naturally rests when not on the steering wheel or gear selector..

I have to say, having owned this car for a week now, that I’m in love with the technology and placement of everything. I never have to divert my eyes from the road, the tactile functions are so satisfying, finger hovering displays the function of your buttons on the climate and radio controls. The volume knob on the right is prefect if your navigator needs to pause or lower the volume to tell you something. You still have your own volume control. I feel like they really went through a lot of realistic scenarios to design this interior.

Doug the type of guy who visits every gas station to find the cheapest gas

When Doug says “then you floor it,” you can audibly hear him poop his pants 19:12

Doug, you should make a “Doug, the type of guy” shirt. You’d make millions.

6:56 "so you can combine family transport & going 150mph" 😂😂

I own the A5 Sportback. The small storage next to the volume knob is for the key (I know it’s stupid but that’s what it’s for) and the deep storage compartment left of the steering wheel is for the manual pouch that fits perfectly in there. Final note, the volume knob next to the shifter is the best placement. You don’t have to lean forward to change the volume on the dash. If you drive like me with your right hand on the shifter, you can move 2 inches over to adjust the volume or skip to next or previous tracks.

I'm loving Doug finding all our European features weird ...

Audi has been killing it as of recent. The new A5 is very nice of itself, and the RS5 just dials up the fun factor to 11. The biggest selling point however is the fact quattro is standard - driving a M3 or C63 in winter in Canada is doable with winter tires but 400hp+ with RWD still is hairy. The RS5 with winter would almost be a non-issue.

Love your videos and one of the reasons is you crack me up with some of your quirks. The baseball bat size compartment next to the drivers door might be for an umbrella lol

One shirt... Doug, ARE YOU OKAY??!

Wow Doug a single Tee ? everything ok at home?

BMW drivers don’t use signals. Audi drivers need extra signal lights on the mirrors to let them know hey have left it on for miles.

I am just absolutely in love with this car. Got a chance to check it out up close and personal during my last service. It WILL be my next Audi for sure.

The Car can only measure Tire Pressure while moving because it calculates it using each Tire's rotation speed, which it takes from the ABS sensors. An underinflated tire has a smaller diameter then an overinflated one, thus it spins faster relative to the vehicle speed.

19:12 doug the type of guy to fart mid video and not edit it out

Doug, the type of guy who drives by colleges to remind students about their upcoming tests.

12:40 thats really a thing nearly no one knows. This perfectly fits the car key.

Daddy Doug, where is the two t-shirt dad shorts combo?

That compartment in the dash you mentioned that was really deep.... It is a footlong sub sandwich holder. Duh...

I love this video!! Not only is the car amazing those ending bloopers were the icing on the cake!

Doug, the small storage compartment below the volume knob, I think fits the car fob

19:12 the car is so fast that he shat himself

Doug the type of guy to subscribe to his own channel 1:44

Doug the type of guy to not put pre rolled joints in your small Storage compartment

Outstanding review, Doug. And awesome outtakes.

Doug’s the type of guy to subscribe to his own channel.

I honestly have mad respect for Doug like he works hard to produce great content for everyone then all his viewers roast him in the comment section with Doug the type of guy comments

17:39 Doug repeats....bruuuuhh I lost it😭😭😂😂😂😂🏃‍♂️

There are little tiny kinetic electrical generators in the TPMS system that need to be spinning a certain speed to generate enough electricity to transmit the tire pressure to the CPU. At least that's what they told us at nissan many years ago.

Doug is definitely off his rocker..."i like my performance cars subtle"...owns a FORD GT...loololol...

The RS5 is nice and all but it doesn’t have a view of the North Atlantic Ocean in its backyard.

Got an S3 from 2019, those cars are wonderful to drive everyday.

That turn signal light in the mirror gives you confidence that you have it running and warned the others on the road whenever you change the lanes and have to look in the mirror. That's very useful thing.

Doug is wearing jeans in this video instead of shorts QUIRK

Reason for volume knob placement: Your hand will "accidentally" touch your female passengers leg. Clever thinking Audi ;)

LOVE Your Reviews Thanks doug

The tire pressure thing is because of how vw measures pressure... they use the tire rotation speed to tell the pressure Also that little storage spot on the centre console is for your car key

Doug is not wearing 2 t-shirts here! Mind blown bruh

Doug Demuro should go to Europe or other markets where they have the RS6 Avant and review it.

To me, the Audi infotainment is great! I am an Audi owner. Have a 2016 Audi S3. The Audi connect features are helpful, but the google earth GPS is my favorite! You can even do street views in your gps map. It’s insane.

Got a chance to ride in one of these and it was awesome, great car.

If i'm not mistaken AUDI was the first car manufacturer to make the LED running lights commonplace

They probably didn't think about the quattro badge being hidden by the number plate because european number plates are less tall, so in europe we don't have that problem.

I have one in San Diego in Nardo grey. My only complaint is that the seat massage and heater turn off automatically after a few minutes. Also, the dynamic mode suspension is too bouncy. But this is easy to fix in the “independent “ menu, by using dynamic for everything except suspension, where you use “auto”. Can get a mountain bike and 5’9” surfboard in it with the seats down and the privacy cover off. Funny story about the back window. My girlfriend’s cat was in the back seat and somehow rolled down the window. He probably would’ve flown out if it went down all the way.

The tyre pressure monitor runs with the wheels speed sensors not a sensor located in each wheel, also the mini storgae behind gear lever is for the keys as the sensor is located under the pad 🙂

12:40 that "small storage compartiment" is for the car key.

Sooooo are you going to review a plane?

The storage compartment just to the right of the shifter is where the convertible top controls are in the cabriolet. It was probably cheaper for them to use the same center console for both cabriolet and non-cabriolet.

That small storage next to the gear lever is for your key. The key fits perfectly in there

The volume scroll wheel is for the driver so that you could change the volume without taking your hands off the steering wheel, and the one on the dashboard is for the passenger. I think it's the best way of doing it and it should't be a point to criticize. IMO

Only OG Doug fans will remember this... MMI Touch Volume.

Thanks to this video, I was able to easily find where to put the windshield washer fluid in my 2018 A5 Sportback

That long storage is for your bong and that little storage is for your lighter

if you rest your arm is in the arm rest your hand is directly on the volume knob so it´s a great place to put it

13:05 The pistol storage compartment

Doug its great to have a volume nob there that is easy for passenger to use

That is such a beautiful piece. They did a phenomenal job. Glad they brought it over, maybe I can pick one up someday. Thanks for the excellent showcase, I enjoyed that.

I have an S5, the volume knob is actually in the perfect place, once you get used to it, Douglass.

FYI the reason the car can't read tire pressure while stationary is because newer Audi's use an indirect tpms system. The car uses the abs wheel speed sensors to pick up differences in rotational speed to measure tire pressure.

The moment Doug's head appeared at the Backseat was Hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

You reviewed my favorite car the day of my birthday lol thanks

"Practicality is exellent and it gets a 7/10"!!! I mean when you say exellent you expect at least 9/10!

Doug the kind of guy to give his wife a Doug score

Doug, I generally love your reviews and you are at the top of your game. Here, I wish you would spend more time actually describing how the car drives. How is the suspension? Springs too hard for bumpier roads? Feel everything under you or a nice balance of feel and performance. Once we know what this car is, then the conversation about which Audi you would prefer based on Price/Performance is relevant. How it drives is the main thing and I think that was missed here. Remember, the main thing about the main thing is that it's the main thing.

Dodo Bird, the "Little" Storage Cup in the Console is for the "Key". That is if you don t keep it in your Pocket. The Volume Nob by the shifter is so easy to reach without searching for it while doing 100 K. Its so intuitive and a perfect place for it besides the steering wheel one

12:26 Doug are u slow its to hold the key

Doug wearing jeans? The internet has peaked.

Douglas, those gas prices are listed with cash and with credit prices. Many gas stations charge more for a credit charge vs. paying in cash, in order to make back the fee they are charged by their credit card processing company to use their charge system. Also, the Audi TPMS requires the driver to be going 16mph or greater in order to take a tire pressure reading because Audi uses an indirect TPMS system, which doesn’t use a sensor on each tire to measure the tire pressure. Instead, the car uses a combination of laser readings and wheel rotation speed readings along with other calculations to determine if any of the tires are rotating at a different speed from the others, indicating that a tire is under or over inflated. This system requires fewer components, is more reliable, breaks less, doesn’t require a new sensor with new battery each time a tire is replaced, and is even more accurate than a direct system.

please do a s5/rs5 2022 i know it’s not much difference but would like to see doug review this car again! his newer videos just seem a lot more put together still the best reviewer on youtube

@Doug_DeMuro. I've been watching your videos for a long time now. They are near perfect. I think you are missing one little clip from every video. The clip where you start the car. Takes 2 shots 1 from the inside and one from the outside of the car. It's a special feeling for some people when you start a car and it brings a smile to their face.

It's like a 4/5 scale RS7.

This car looks way better than most BMWs.

The outtakes though...ROTFL... THIS is going to be my next car!!! Thanks for the honest review!!!

13:08 Doug - in places other than San Diego, there is a thing called "weather". when places have "weather", they want umbrellas. not baseball bats.

I love the volume knob placement... That is where it has been in my last couple of Audi's.

The positive battery terminal under the hood has been a rather common thing since early-2000's. Not really a quirk of the RS5.

Loved behind the scenes hahah

12:38 Thats for Key fob 🙄🙄

Doug the type of guy that goes to a restaurant and orders from the kids menu to save some $.

Doug at 7am: THISSS is my tooth brush, and I’m going to brush my teeth with it.

im about to test drive this baby!

Doug the type of guy to destroy a car because it wasnt quirky enough

Doug I actually Like the volume knob. It's for the passenger not for the driver.

I own a RS5 and still watch this video

randoms question but does anybody know whether there’s that delay that doug talks about when you put in manual mode instead of auto? this is truly my dream car and I’ll be waiting to get it on the used market in a year or so but one of the biggest things I look for in a car is how the throttle response feels, I know it’s weird that I almost put throttle response even over raw power but if anyone has experience with the rs5 please lmk
