Hope you're well. I purchased my 2023 S5 in that color a little after you obtained yours. Premium plus with sport resonator, carbon fiber mirrors and spoiler. Interior Red stitching with the twill carbon fiber. PPF the whole front end as well. Love it to no end. I know you switched to the Michelin tires are you glad and what differences did you notice?
@Pietro93111 күн бұрын
@christosv2291 The difference is night and day. More comfortable ride, better traction, and better sidewall rim protection. Tires last around 15k miles on these cars, not a cheap endeavor. If there is a Costco nearby, get the membership because they have the best price around.
Been a BMW fan for years had a lot of issues last couple cars switched to the s5 absolutely no issues love everything about it the ride quality performance and luxury!
@Pietro93126 күн бұрын
@user-sf8df1zn5m imo, the build quality is a notch higher than the BMW. Congrats on the S5!

I just got mine a week ago, 2024 S5. Loving it. Mythos Black with black trim. However I am finding it all too black and planning to change the Audi emblem to chrome in the grill and back. As well as the S5 logos and side wings. It would be different if I were in my 30s or 40s, but I'm 60 years old. It just seems to aggressive to me. Thoughts?
@Pietro93129 күн бұрын
Congrats!! In all black, it must look amazing. I would wait and see how it is to you in a few months. It's too early. Age is meaningless imo. The car is classy and sporty, in all black makes it look very sporty and different.

So Pietro, I finally Received My 2022 Audi S5 Sportback in June of 2022 after ordering it in December of 2021. Audi Credited me for the Semiconductor Shortage Package $1,350.00 & Integrated Toll Module $125.00. They could not get the Circuitry for those options from the Supplier. Bummer! I have no Side Lane Assist Package, and don't care about the toll module. So far, I have 15K miles on it. No Problems, but I have replace 4 Tires due to Pot Holes in Atlanta and Nails. Under Warranty Coverage. My New S5 has 349 HP, my old 2018 S5 had 354 HP. Can't really tell any difference. Mythos Black Metallic, Magma Red Napa Leather Seats, Premium Package. S Sport Package, Black Optic Package w/ Silver Audi Rings, like yours! Total Price after deductible shortages $65,565.00. I Traded in my Audi Q5 with about 6K miles on it. Payment is $817.00 Per Month for 60 Months. I Paid Down $27,169.00 with Trade In & Cash. I have Loved your Commentary since I started watching you! Thank you for your continued Posting! I change my oil every 5,000 Miles. I've watched a Master Mechanic from Europe dealing with Audi's and am convinced about changing the Oil, no matter what Audi says. As you know, we can't actually see the Color of your Audi on Screen as the Contrast is not very Good Unless you're Very Close with a lot of Sun Light. Still Love your Color and would have ordered it but, could not afford the up charge. Keep on Posting, Love your small channel! DST Atlanta.

Fuel economy, the bmw better, power… bmw better, handling… bmw much better, steering feeling bmw quite superior, interior spacing… bmw wins again, storage space in the interior bmw wins by far.
