2013 Audi RS5

Hello gentlemen,

A gorgeous blue RS5 with red interior caught my eyes this morning! Does anyone have any experience with this model?

What are your thoughts?

What are the pros and cons please?

Was gonna hit the showroom tomorrow and have a closer look at it and see if I can negotiate a settlement.

But needed some first hand opinions before taking it further! This might be my first Audi so I'm oblivious to the car!

Thanks in advance!

It's all personal preference and I would beg to differ, which is why I have a new RS5 on order and should be delivered within the next 6 weeks or so. The car is a beast, yet very capable as a daily driver, and not being mass produced either.

I don't think I have seen a more beautiful coupe than this machine! Everything about it was just perfect!

Never driven an S before!

I'm thinking of an S5 and modding it with chip/exhaust. Could be a lotta car for the money.

Heavy front end.. too much plow and underpowered. Looks good though.

sad day we have come to when 450hp is considered "underpowered"...

The front end and perceived plow is more myth than reality, substantiated by quite a few driver reviews. Again, all personal preference and to each their own... If you want a "track" car, yeah you might want to look elsewhere, I just wanted a nice and capable daily driver that was more than suffice for my needs.
