Critical Review
I purchased a pre owned 2018 Audi s5. At the time, it had 71,800 miles on it. I’ve not even owned the car for a year, put right at 1000 miles on it, and the engine died at 72, 823 miles, 823 miles out of extended warranty. Audi refuses to back the vehicle or help with repairs, it was fully serviced at 70k miles with no issues. Worst purchase ever, quoted 29k to repair.

I cannot rave about this car enough. It is SO fast, SO confortable and SO reliable. It is a joy to drive if you are an enthusiest or just like to drive and not think about it. It has variable transmission, suspension and even can adjust the exhaust sound. I am smiling every day I drive - especially with the top down. Even 4 years later, people will stop to admire how great it looks. Expensive to maintain (parts and service) as expected for a luxury sports car, but totally worth it. The tires will glide through water as though it wasnt there, and the brakes stop on a dime at high speed. Basically it has the best equipment so its epxensive to replace, but NO problems at all, 4 years in,
Fuel mileage on HWY cruise, Excellent fit & FINISH
Luxury and Performance all wrapped into one! 19 speaker Bang an Olufsen stereo with 755 watts is music to your ears! A 0-60 time of 4.2 seconds or less I verified. Interstate cruise @ 78 m.p.h returned a 32.5 m.p.g. Massaging front seats 💺 are good as is the interior night lighting where you can choose your colours. I loved the purple blue in my car. Panoramic sunroof is on point 👉. Cars handling is supple when need be and a sharp direct in turner during more aggressive driving. I'll buy another one in the future. 2018 has 354 HP whereas the 2019 and newer models only have 349 HP. Not sure why?🤔. I'd buy a 2018 S5 coupe or Sportback and no newer. Make sure you get an extended warranty with it as mine had a oil 🛢 leak internally and the front right shock went out on me with only 31k miles on it. Otherwise no issues with the car. Repairs for both were $5,700 but I had Carmax extended warranty and my out of pocket was $150. Had to get rid of the car last week because of my 45k drop in salary from a previous job. You can't live a Dom Perignon lifestyle with a Pabst Blue Ribbon salary! I'll buy another one outright in a couple of years after saving!

Engine failure, not reliable

I cannot express how happy this car makes me. Every day I drive it it’s a blast. It’s fast, quiet, comfortable, and when the top is down, I can’t get the grin off my face. You have to set a speed alarm because you will not notice how fast you are going. The car is so smooth and unlike every other convertible I’ve driven, it’s not noisy and uncomfortable as you drive highway speed. The particular color combination I have makes every single time I drive it with the top down a show stopper. People always compliment. What a good looking car it is. The interior is luxurious and comfortable to drive AND ride in the back. The glove box has a CD changer for some reason so there is no room for storage at all. However, the trunk has a motorized spacer that moves up when the top is up, allowing you a normal-sized trunk, and it drops down to allow the top to store- so many convertible have a tiny trunk and no option for more. Love this car!
Can not go wrong with the car... it's quick, reliable and you also have the option to change the drive mode from dynamic to comfort
Exhilarating car to drive
Fuel tank capacity is not that great
I have owned a 2011 Q5, 2013 A6, and a 2016 A6. This is by far my favorite Audi that I have ever purchased.
As above
cannot hide the 10 inch touchscreen
So many cars in one. Multiple settings provide different driving experiences. Dynamic Steering compliments the sport suspension and new quatro power distribution to produce amazing handling when pushed. The S5 is also a pleasant and comfortable cruiser on long drives. The seats have numerous adjustments for comfort and personal fit, including 3 different massage settings. Adjustable side bolsters provide an extra level of driver stability when maneuring curves at higher speeds. Launch control produces quick acceleration. The B & O sound system is good but would not give it as high a rating as the the other feature of this wonderfully engineered and designed German beauty. Have not regretted the purchase or the extra features. In Addison to the carbon dash inlays , my S5 has carbon on the side mirrors and rear spoiler. Nice touch and have yet to see another with this package.
Amazing power! Beautiful car fun to drive
Radio/cd doesn’t sound as good as Sirus stations
Impressive performance handling is tight, takes corners well in dynamic mode, very comfortable for long trips in comfort mode. My S5 has lots of trunk space for a coupe. Lots of head room in the rear. Good gas mileage almost 450 miles per tank approx 28 combined mpg city/highway. Love this car!
