So, any pros/cons to the S5? I was at a dealer the other day, and really liked it. It is going to replace my 99 P Car and my daily driver boat (lexus).

I was thinking of ordering it, all tweaked out the way I would like it.

This would be my first Audi so what should I look for? Is it worth it? Price tag will fall around 6-70K I gathered, ordered the way I want it (at least thats what the guy said..).

If not an Audi, then what else?

 

do it. same engine as the s4 so i can tell you how awesome the engine is. the dual clutch is awesome but the manual is even better. great materials used in the interior and the exterior is stunning. i love the face lifted s5. only complaint with these cars (and mine) is the lack of exhaust noise but if its yours i would spend a couple k on an aftermarket exhaust. well worth it. also a must have option is the B & O sound system. crisp, clear sound. everyone is always impressed by the system. but yeah definitely go for it!

 

Well said PB. Exhaust note
Is lame. For the money it's a nice car

 

Think they are amazing cars in many ways. The only thing that turns me away from them is the very high lease rates. They are usually leasing for 1100 to 1200/mo for a 65k car. You could of got a 997.2S at 105k for that lease rate.

 

Great car I'm a big fan

 

good choice

I am happy owner of S5 sportback.
In my opinion must have options:
- Audi drive select, LSD, Suspension, Stearing
- Bucket Seats
- black pack
- R8 style rims

good luck

 

amazing car - great looks. ive got a silver one.

 

Great spec. LSD is a must and most people dont add it.

 

that's true, but difference between with and without lsd is huge!

 

Ever since the switched the coupe to the V6T i see no reason to buy this over the E92 M3 since they are the same price (as optioned).
