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?

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

@valluvanthillairajah Год назад

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

@drlu3823 Год назад

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

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.

@jasonleon1976 6 лет назад

@1:18 this myth of you can only have “fun” in a rear wheel drive. Couldn’t have said it better myself. Fun at the expense of being wrapped around a tree isn’t my idea of fun either. Each to their own, and Quattro is my choice.

@fatpablo2381 2 года назад

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 purchased one of the First 2018 Audi S5's in America used with 4200 miles on it. Finally got a New 2022 S5. Love it!

@williamanderson2447 2 года назад

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.

@therealjoshtodd 4 года назад

I think the S5 has just gone down the shitter. No longer comes in a V8, no longer comes in a manual, no longer comes in a coupe, and they took away that aggressive front end from the B8/B8.5 and replaced it with this watered down VW sedan looking fascia. HARD pass.

Actually the rs5 has 2 turbos and the s5 has the same 3.0 v6 as the rs5 but 1 less turbo soo the s5 is a single turbo which decreases power by 100 horse power to 350 hp

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 года назад

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.

@kmack5799 7 лет назад

Quattro is fun! Really? I drove many high power S & RS Audi's for years and still rate them but they are too easy to drive fast and certainly not fun... They are great all rounders and much better in the wet etc etc than a rear drive car, but for real enthusiasts who have some ability behind the wheel, rear wheel drive with a LSD is much more engaging - if not for everyone. The S5 is more luxury GT for which I am sure its great.

@HRINACAR 7 лет назад

Well, for the laymen, and for ensuring you don't end up under a lorry on a motorway I kind of like it. I can't drive for toffee, so it suits me :)

@osiris1309 6 лет назад

How does this stack up against the C43 AMG?

@TeacherToolkitDemo 6 лет назад

osiris1309 C43 is probably a close winner.

@iguanabartola 4 года назад

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.

@peterbuk8980 Год назад

Great video..... completely agree 💯👍

@ReelTeezz 7 лет назад

So there are no criticisms or areas of shortfall!?... hmm can't really take this seriously but aye - nicely edited

@HRINACAR 7 лет назад

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.
