This is one, if not probably the best non-biased car review ever produced. Savagegeese never disappoints. Love the new SHOPPE!

Audi still does some of the best lights in the business. I love the subdued looks. It's neat, clean and proper.

You're always there for me, unlike my dad

I'm revisiting this review after owning mine for 5 years and I agree completely. Awesome car and very reliable. I've had a stage 1 tune and bolt-ons for the past year and it only adds to the fun factor.

Your soothing voice is perfect for review videos. Thank you for speaking like a normal human in your videos. Im so sick of "car enthusiasts" jizzing their pants everytime they talk about alcantara or adaptive suspension...

After seeing this video in December I got myself a 2019 A5 Sportback Sline and i cant be happier. This car is so dope and practical and the best place to be when you get out of work tired.

Clearly the best reviewer of cars on the internet. Always clear and concise...no gimmicks.

Mark's reviews are definitely the most profound and most eloquently presented to be found on YT or elsewhere. The quality of the vids are only the cherry on the cake and I'd watch them even if they were available in 240p only. Thanks a lot for your outstanding work and keep goin'. It's a pleasure watching.

" ... it doesn't scream 'I'm douchy' ..." ... love it!!

Glad I waited for the 4k to show up. Outstanding production quality!

As an S5 owner, I totally understand the screen up on the dash. It made room for a floating dash and tons of room for large double cupholders, which in the previous version (which I also had) were in the way. And now there is a cubby that is partly open to slide the phone in and out without it showing. Mostly because that screen moved up there on the dash. Now, they could have had it fold in every time but that is unreliable.

Thanks! This was a huge help in my purchase. Love my A5

Man, I just came across your reviews. Really nicely produced and edited, very nice job man.

That thing is gorgeous. Most car manufacturers are trying too hard to do unique, aggressive, and futuristic, but often come out looking too busy, and awkward. I like the clean styling of this. In my opinion it isn't boring at all, it's just tastefully designed. I love that it's not all bloated looking like most newer cars.

I have the 2016. I was looking to see a neutral biased critique of the new platform and body style, since it will likely be with us for at least 5+ years. He hit all the things I thought might carry over, and gave what I thought was an honest evaluation on this next gen A5. I found it very very useful, and something that could be counted on. The complaining guy didn't add much to the video/discussion unless I missed it. Great production quality and I appreciated the professionalism of this review.

Such a complete review, with outstanding production quality. Work to be proud of - well done.

I’ve come here because I was looking for a review of this car, I’m a subscriber but I mainly watched your last 1.5 year videos and I can see how far you’ve get into this reviews. Nice move to cut turbowski btw.

4 seconds on screen after what felt like a year off, and the man is already complaining. gotta love turbowski!

The production quality of this video is amazing once again. Keep it up Geese! These reviews are the best thing on KZfaq right now

Easily the best review I've seen in long time! Thanks for putting all that together!

Absolutely superb review, done by someone that gets cars. You will never win against people are biased for or against the A5 or Audi. It's not about being the best car, the fastest car, or best handling, it's providing a really really good car, that does many many things well. I have to say I miss my A5 Quattro, with the 2.0 TFSI. Superb all rounder, and it really does make you question what more you need out of a car.

Mr. Goose, I've been quietly watching your videos for sometime now and thought this would be the right time to comment. Your calm voice along with detailed review drew me. Subscribed. Keep'em coming.

Because of this review I just bought this exact car. My car was rear ended and totaled. I am very happy with this Audi for my commute car. Thank you for posting and helping me.

I’ve had 2 A3’s and I know it’s nothing like this car but I really made me appreciate the Audi brand and being able to grow into one of their more expensive cars.

Audi is making such good cars these days. I was under the impression that "just" an A5 would be quite boring but after watching your review I no longer think that. Turns out, "just" an A5 is pretty darn good!

haha, I kept waiting for you to talk about the steering feel (or lack thereof) and you finally got to it right at the end

This engine has so many applications. I had a 2009 Gti with the newer TSI engine and I flashed it with an APR tune. The torque steer was so much that it tore away at the braids on my down pipe. In any event, I was amazed as I could torture A-5s and walk away from them at 150+ The manual for me was the best. So much bottom end torque made hills delightful. The cast iron block was meant to be boosted and seems like the industry standard for many VW / Audi applications. I think this is one of the best engines every made and the easiest to be modded.

Excellent review for its mix of engineering insight and clear driving impressions. Balanced and clear opinions. Thank you!

i love how you hoist all cars. Keep that up ty...

This is an absolutely beautiful car - the design is so understated yet striking. I don't need or even want an S5 or RS5. This beauty is more than enough for daily duties 👍

As usual the best reviews on KZfaq. Keep the good work.

I just bought a used 2018 A5 Sportback and get more looks driving the car...I absolutely love the car!!! Simply a sophisticated luxury sports sedan!

This is what Audi does. It's a lovely auto with lovely attributes. You get one you're hooked for life as I have been for 30+ years. Nice video btw, thanx.

"In the Shoppe with Turbowski" felt a little different than before: Scott came across as substantially more passive, less dominant. Probably has to do with it not being in his garage anymore. His casual apparel was also a factor. Though maybe its mostly from his extended absence, and he simply needs a couple videos to warm back up. Still, happy to see him back! (and having the garage segment be more of conversation between two people instead of with the camera)

I may have said this already but you have the best reviews on youtube. keep up the good work.

I owned a 2009 and I can tell you the A5 looks even better in person. It is a piece of art. Pics don't do it justice.

I'm adding "Get off the road, turkey" to my daily driving vocab

Just bought a used manual 6 speed 2018 A5 Quattro with the S line sport package, Bang & Olufsen sound, and heated steering wheel upgrades. 14000 miles! A beautiful car. Your video analysis hit all the high points. Some of the negatives don’t apply to me. I don’t have the nav system so the cockpit display is fairly clean. One button makes it a minimal display which I prefer. Thanks for the thorough review. You have reassured me I made a great purchase. Also test drove a 2017 BMW 440i xdrive. Audi’s shifting was so much smoother, especially 1st gear. The A5 does not have rev-matching on down shifting. So a more true manual feel, if you know what you are doing! Thanks again.

your reviews are unmatched man seriously. ive seen them all. so much detail and stuff people SHOULD care about. thank you. the lexus rc350 helpped me make a decision and go with another car

This has to be one of the better reviews, very informative.

Best car reviews on KZfaq.

Good review ! I have a Q7 and I could not agree more on the diagnosis you made of the user interface (which is the same one: the part about voice control is THE MOST FRUSTRATING THING EVER. You spend 80k on a car and voice control is not bad, it is totally, 100%, dysfunctional (PS: audi told me they'll rely on google starting 2018). The screen brightness: never bothered me and i'm quite sensitive to light. Having switched from BMW, i'd say: way nicer interiors with Audi, quieter cars, but voice command in beamers works great (here is doesn't, period) and they are livelier to drive. I would recommend those new gen Audis if you look for discrete luxury, maybe not if you look for excitement.

Well done, your video presentation is refined, comments are informative. You are an artist my friend !

Excellent review as always! No other youtuber is doing this type of reviews!

Best picture editing on the internet.

it would've been interesting to see the manual version of this engine, i find it amazing they even offer it

Audi should hire you because you just sold me. This was the best, most thorough yet interesting review vid I’ve seen on this car. Thanks, and great job. Quality vids. 🔥

I've liked the A5 ever since it first came out, into production. Smooth ride.

When I saw Turbowski without his shop uniform, I almost reported this video for Sexual Content.

This is a great car and I love mine. Best car I've ever had.

Your videos are killer! Video composition, lighting, editing, killer. And Scott in some different duds - alright!

Your reviews are certainly one of the most comprehensive, and the only one I've seen that puts the car on a lift to critique the parts on the underside.

I really enjoyed this review. Looking at the underside of the car is a great idea and really showed the German build quality. One criticism - Scott was in no way an asset to this video. He was not really interested in the car and I question why he was involved. I keep him off camera and let him operate the lift.

Thought about checking out the new 2018 camry xse or the 2018 toyota c-hr?

I have an a3 s line 2018 and its an amazing vehicule. Same engine tfsi but 228 hp 260 pound of tourque. Amazing engine. Great review by the way

Another awesome video, love the attention to detail and production value, keep it up man

Absolutely superb review of what looks to be a very decent car.

Tested this engine in the a4 and a5. There's still spool up lag, it doesn't feel like a naturally aspirated engine. That said, it's probably the best turbo 4 I've driven as well.

Damn it, that was the best info on an Audi coupe!! I'm looking into an Audi A5, 2019! I have until the end of the month to scoop it up, thanks for viewing the undercarriage, and the engine compartment!!

I agree about its exterior, especially the first gen version of this look especially good. Simple yet elegant

The GOOSE IS BACK!

Scott blowing his vape into the shot at 2:26

I've put over 8k miles on my B9 A4 with the Sport Plus Pkg (manual, adjustable dampers, the variable steering). I love it.

Have this car in six speed manual. I love it. So smooth. So reliable. Doesn’t ask for much but give you so much

Here's how you improve the engine: add some port injection so the valves don't carbonize every 30,000 miles / improve the rear main seal / redesign the chain tensioner / no more plastic water pumps... how much more do you need?

LMAO!! 15:32 Perfect music selection .. crackin up

Excellent review. When I drove the A4 it blew me away. I was in shock. I can only hope the Tesla 3 I have on order will drive as nicely.

Glad to see turbowski back. Great review as usual.

As an engineer, I object to this car's price-to-cylinder ratio.

VW AUDI make the best 4 cylinder engines, they've been perfecting for years. But the V6 sounds quite good in the S4/S5.

Great to hear that you feel Audi's in good form these days...personally, when it comes to styling choices, I preferred the first-gen A5, or at least the mid-cycle refresh version thereof, but to each our own...

I've got a 2014 A5 and I love it so much, it just feels so right. 2L 225 hp, but it just goes man

+1. Very nice review. .. The Audi A5/S5/RS5 coupe design will/has gone down in automotive design history; Its beautiful on the outside and inside. Signed, a former Audi USA MY95.5 UrS6 Kombi owner. From new a daily driver of ten years as the interior quality always impressed. The uber ski wagon . . Audi Quattro rules . . . .

You are right about Ford, it's like their only care is for the car to move, no attention to detail whatsoever!

Man that was a great review, thank you.

One thing to note about the firmness - that might be because of the S-Line sport package. Default suspension is actually a bit in the opposite direction - more on the softer side, so bumps feel "wavey" as opposed to "shocking".

OMG what a practical review!! PLEASEEEEE do A5 Sportsback

I like you but Turboski need to concentrate on telling us some useful information like "This looks like it's easy to work on... etc" from a mechanic's perspective. Otherwise he might as well not be in the video!

Really well done review, thumbs up.

A great review beautifully done...thank-you sir.

The speed of the needle dropping on the tachometer was faster than my pants dropping when I saw this video post

Would love to see the RS3

Damn you do a nice job with your reviews. Thanks!

VAG uses pedal velocity based brake assist. I had a Mk6 Golf TDI and you couldn't turn it off. So even if you just want to brush the brakes, you had to be very slow and deliberate with the pedal to avoid getting a boot full of brakes.

I I owned two A5 Quattros. An 08 V6 5 speed M, first year, and a 09 V6 5 speed auto S line. The 08 had a beautiful pure black paint job and a Cinnamon Brown interior. It had a lot of little nagging problems. It was the first year of this model and as they say, don't buy the first year of anything. Liked the car, but the manual transmission didn't like rush hour traffic and the desert dust loved the black paint. Traded it in for the 09 with Meteorite Gray exterior and matching interior. Loved that freaking car. Even though it had an automatic transmission, that V6 was a beast. It drove better at 90 mph than it did at 55! Drive it at highway speeds and the gas mileage was around 31 mpg. But that was not always possible. Besides yearly maintenance, the only money I spent was for tires and alignments. Got married, had a kid and that damn child car seat hated the A5 as much as the A5 hated it! That was my favorite model of the A5. The newer ones look too generic. I love my kids, but I miss that car! Oh, I drive a 2015 Q5 V6 Quattro diesel TDI! Yes, the diesel that Audi lied about the emissions on. They had to reprogram the computer to correctly measure the exhaust emissions. Lost about 3 miles per gallon. Getting 25 mpg in the city and 33 on the highway. Don't know if l lost any horse power, rated at 260 and 428 lbs ft of torque. That thing will blast the doors off most cars from a dead start. And, it likes child car seats!

Scott Turbowski is back in action!

4:10 I liked the emphasis on mentioning Turbowski. He's telling the viewers "HE'S BACK".

Another great job! Thanks for this.

Please review the MK7 GTI

I've owned two of the earlier A5's. They are beautiful cars, and I wanted to drive it until the wheels fall off. But after 50k miles, all heck broke lose with problems that were unresolvable, and customer support is poor. The truth is not in engineering, and beauty is only skin deep. 😞

great, great, GREAT REVIEW... SUBSCRIBED!!!!

Another well done reiew. Great job!!

Awwwwww fuck yeah, shoppe time

The holiest of shits you posted a video right when I went on my lunch break

Great review... as usual.. Thank you!

Hey man just want to thank you for making this video. I was curious about the Audi A4 2.0T and this is basically the same car/engine. It seems like you enjoyed reviewing it as well so that's awesome!

Long term reliability is a concern for me.

@12:18 savage turkey: have you met your match ?

My favorite thing about that car is the rims. I think they look amazing

Awesome video as always! I like the Easter Egg at 15:32 the song shown in the dash board is "Farting During A..." Funny stuff
