How many people want that? Lmao this thing screams 2010. “Performance” gas sedans are silly af without a v8. Just get an electric sedan or a proper sports car.

@@mikeamizzle you clearly have no clue haha

@@evaristocorripio5434 lmao yeah I definitely have no clue who this pile appeals to. This kind of ride was hot like 10 years ago I guess. Maybe to people who haven’t bought a real sport sedan in the past decade?

@@mikeamizzle there's people who can't afford a sports car and a daily driver, and these types of cars are a good blend of the two types. Very good daily driver.

@@evaristocorripio5434 fair enough.

And practical for a high performance vehicle.

It still is but time for an update.

@@JayJay-he9bk idk I love this design kind of timeless.

@@epicswirl it does look good! I actually almost purchased this car but was waiting to see what the type s had to offer

@@JayJay-he9bk it’s a bit quicker than the type s. Launch is insane.

Stage 1? Upgrade intake / IC?

Same here. Enterprise told me they’d get me a “BMW 5, or similar”, instead, I got an A5. Completely happy, and now I’m on KZfaq looking up A5/S5 reviews.

I actually used to work for Enterprise and for my Boyfriends BDay I rented us a A5 sport back and honestly wasn't a fan of audi's until living with this car and driving it around the mountains during a ski trip. I too would even take the base model!

Do it man! If you get the chance, the feel in an A5 Sportback is insane. let alone the S5! Im getting myself an A5 Sportback technik this year, really excited

So a year later, how has it been? I've been looking at a CPO as well recently. I had an old B7 A4 that turned into a horrible money pit at 70k miles, but I'm still tempted with this...

Just wondering how long till you get it I’m probably going to order the s5 sb soon just wondering how long on order

How's the bus treating you?

Driving it in dynamic mode keeps it out of 8th gear (and usually 7th). Keeping it in dynamic mode is ill-advised for any kind of highway driving.

@@tim3172 Interesting. Good to know, thanks. If I ever do highway driving, which is rare for me, I actually put it in Auto mode.

the B&O stereo + Blacked out rings (Black optics package) are included in the 2023 premium + & prestige models..not sure why it wasnt in 2021/2022 models

Just got one. That’s where I keep my pistol

Test drove an s5 . The acceleration made my head spin. I do like the car a lot.

The bright matte blue is trending. Also comes on Mustangs and the Jaguar F-Type

Same here, ive loved audis from the beginning, and they are becoming better and better as time goes on.

Around 4 flat with proper tyres

150 pounds helps

You know he's an mid aged Korean man when he uses ~ to end an sentence

Agreed, opening a frameless door with the windows down is fun and gets everyone's attention

i must not be a true enthusiast lol cuz i surely got the black ops plus(which black out rings and quad tips)on my 23 s5 and i love how mean it looks

Blacked out rings just makes it look cheaper.

I think cars with sports diff come with a round steering wheel. I have a flat bottom one on my 2018 S5 too.

My hands get too cold during the winter to not have a heated wheel. I'm in New England. My next car will have a heated steering wheel or I'm not buying it.

A bolt on or two and a tune and you'll be set! Enjoy.

I’ve got an IS38 4 motion sportwagen and I want one of these SOOOOOOO bad!

I want to make a similar move when my GTI dies.

Great upgrade. But I wouldn't plan on keeping it past the warranty.

I loved my Camry it was grey with black wheels and just a bit of chrome. It worked well. I'll never own a black car. My brother had a Camry with multi color interior tans, blacks, silvers etc. We all though that look so much better than a all black, grey, beige interior we have.

I have 2018 and I have the remote heating, what else would you want? Maybe remote cooling, but other than that?

My '18 fully opens. The glass slides back over the top of the car and looks great when open

I think it’s honestly more of a misnomer to call ventilated seats “cooled” seats, I really don’t think any manufacturers are making seats that use that function. If a reviewer is saying cooled seats, they probably just meant ventilated

My '18 has the ventilated seats, they aren't cooled. And sadly the ventilated seats deleted Audi's great sport seats

It doesn't go right up the roof/glass just the floor itself

The flat bottom steering wheel has never been available with heating. The flat bottom wheel is a very minor cosmetic change, and to me, it does nothing to improve the interior appearance.

The new m440i doesn't sound as good because of the 48v mild hybrid. It lost its pops and burbles when shifting. The S5 sportback sounds amazing. This was before the 48v mild hybrid. Don't know if it sounds different or not. I had a 2018 and it was one of the most fun cars I've ever owned. I will say though it's starting to show its age. However, I personally think it looks far better than the M440 with that grill. Just my opinion!

You really can't go wrong with either of those options. I think in the end it depends on your style preference. I was in the market back in 2020 and was debating between the M340i or the S5 Sportback. I also considered just waiting until the new M440i Gran Coupe was available as I really liked that four-door fastback body style on the previous 4-series. I test drove the M340i and it was really impressive. With 382-hp, it was really quick (almost as fast as an Audi RS5, which I also test drove), and in Sport mode it delivered a lot of theatrics out of the exhaust. It had a spacious backseat and a large trunk. It's a great sport sedan. My only problem with it was the styling, as it doesn't look that much different than a regular 330i that you would see little rich kids driving around the streets of Los Angeles. On the other hand, I've loved the S5 Sportback since I first saw pictures of it back in 2017. It's just a great looking, well-proportioned sport sedan, and the refresh that it received in 2020 (new wheels, new grille, touchscreen infotainment display) made me love its design even more. At 349-hp, it's not as powerful as the M340i, but when I test drove an S4 (the dealership I was at didn't have an S5 at the time), I was convinced that it was PLENTY quick for my needs. Put it in dynamic mode, and the throttle response is immediate, and it's a blast to drive. Then, when I saw spy shots of the new 4-series, and I saw that buck-toothed grille, that made my decision much easier. Needless to say, I bought the 2020 S5 Sportback. I got one with the prestige package, black optic package, S sport package, and black Nappa interior. It's painted in Navarra blue. It's a looker, it's fun to drive, it's got lots of cargo space, and I absolutely love my choice.

Heard the bmw doesn’t come with perks that should come with a “luxury sports sedan” . Dunno about the 23’ but heard they don’t even come with power seats?

It’s underrated slightly. But really Audi just has a VERY aggressive LC that builds a lot of boost on launch. Without LC it’s really not that quick.

They added that in 2020 with the refresh.

Two different classes. The S5 hatchback is the S4 with a truck. same size vehicle.

That's a gorgeous car as well. It's like a stealth Audi that was snapped up by VW outta the design booth.

The old MMI wheel was perfect. You could control the radio without taking your eyes off the road.

Have same car. At first, wheel you think is a letdown but as you learn the wheel it becomes better than touchscreen. I do not miss touchscreen at all.

Agreed, I love the mmi knob. I really wish audi kept the knob when they added touch screen functionality.

😂

@@moesamaro75 what's so funny?

@@layne4376 you just completely made up that stat of bmws being more reliable than audi lol

Plenty of 20 year old BMWs still on road in California, old Audis not as much

Nobody cares man. Ain't no building here

Yup. He spoke correctly incorrectly!

Does the 2021 still have those features or what year did they stop? I’m looking into getting a 2021 version once prices drop

@@chelo3510 2021 models are not affected, but most of the 2022 models and trims are...

The Audi looks better that alone is worth more than 2 to 3k that's really not that much. The 4 series GC just looks odd better than the coupe but still odd and ugly especially depending on the color. The S5 on the other hand is a gorgeous car , I'm sure the next generation will also be. Also a 4 series GC Coupe can run to over the cost of an S5

@@ftr911drvr having owned both the A5 has a nice exterior and interior but the tech isn’t nearly as good. It’s performance and engine isn’t competitive with the BMW period. BMW feels better, handles better, is faster and gets better gas mileage. But you know, that’s my opinion. Also BMW has free 3 years maintenance and 5 years free connected services. Audi charges $500 for 18 months and doesn’t even offer 1/2 what the BMW does like remote start, phone as a key, integrated drive recorder and remote camera support.
