Review

My first Audi and this car is awesome! The S5 is worth the extra $. Great sound, performance, style and handling. I've only had for 1 month so far, but all is good. The "new" navi system & tech pkg is nice and my two kids are fine with back seat area (rare for a coupe). The only option I ordered was the "Prestige Pkg". I'm not a track guy but I do enjoy performance driving. I've heard good things about Spt Diff, Drv Select, and Drv Asst pkgs as well. This is my 1st Tiptronic (all previous cars were 6sp) and I like the "sport option" shift mode as well as the "paddle shifting". I'm through the break in period and the car is a delight to drive. It's my daily driver, no regrets.

Favorite Features

Of course headlights, 3g MMi navi, body style, rear headrest pwr seat switch (easy for back seat passenger to exit), interior layout/seats, smart key, "sport mode" option w/tip, rear LED lights, reliable bluetooth.

Suggested Improvements

Bring back folding outside mirrors, adaptive hdlgts, rearview camera should be standard w/navi. Be aware of some early 10' factory builds that haven't included the new control arms. If not there can be a steering wheel vibration that can only be corrected through "updated" control arms.

Review

This is my 4th Audi. First 3 were A6s & the last two were 4.2L S-Line. Each Audi I've owned was better than the last one and this is no exception. This is a stunning, head-turning vehicle, inside and out. Mine is Canyon Red, no longer standard and special ordered, but, as I love the color, worth every extra penny. It has driver assist, which also alerts one about cars in the blind spot, sports differential, and drive select; highly recommend all 3 and the latter 2 enhance performance. Loads of fun, responsive as all get out, and very comfortable even on 6 hr trips. Gas drinker, mainly due to a smaller tank but I get 27 on the road. I tried BMW M3 & 6-Series Coupe. This is nicer.

Favorite Features

Driver assist, sports rear differential, drive select, seats. The voice command really works well, especially on phone calls.

Suggested Improvements

None.
