I have now had this car for a year and give you an accurate real world review, not the stupid reviews that every car magazine will give you Pros: Very fast Comfortable when not in dynamic mode. All wheel drive is amazing I like the stealth mode of Audi RS cars. Most people don’t know what they are and I like that. Plenty of room even in the back seat. Can fit 4 adults as long as the ones in the back are shorter than say 5’8” Good mpg when not racing it. I can get 30mpg on highway cruising to work around 70mph Interior is amazing and infotainment is great Exhaust sound doesn’t wear you out Brakes are rock solid Cons: Dynamic mode is rough on the roads in St Louis. Could have more aggressive sound but it’s a V6 and I’m SICK of people always saying but it’s not a V8 and doesn’t sound good. EVERYONE knows a V8 sounds better. Stop beating a dead horse with this. I knew this when I bought the car. If you have ever owned a car that has loud exhaust, you will admit there are times when it can get a little old when just cruising around (rarely but does happen) Absolutely no aftermarket performance parts are available in the US yet Transmission can be a little slow to downshift even in dynamic mode Now for my complaints with other reviews: Magazines want to compare this to the M4 and C63 which are RWD and they all say but it doesn’t have the fun factor blah blah blah. I’m 40. I don’t need to do a burn out around every corner and maybe when driven at 10/10 on a track, those might beat the RS5. When driven at ANYTHING less than that and on any street in America, the RS5 is safer and will destroy those cars and more especially from a launch with the AWD. I have raced a hellcat and embarrassed it. People buy Audis partly for the stealth aspect of them. There are a lot of people that don’t need to be flashy and loud all the time. What this car does is murder the competition without making a big deal about it. Audi buyers don’t have to have all eyes on them and say “look at me!” Like every BMW driver. Finally, if you want a sports coupe that is fast, solid, safe and not flashy, the RS5 is your car. If you want to live on a race track only, get the M4. If you want to have an awesome exhaust note and buy new tires every month from your daily burnouts, get the C63
Beyond and ultimate driving machine!

I’ve been driving BMWs for 15 years and this was my first Audi! It has surpassed ALL expectation! The seats are extremely comfortable. The drive modes provide a wide range of comfort and performance. If your more into a Lexus type ride, the comfort mode provides that while performance and handling under dynamic makes you feel you’re on the autobahn! I only wish I had bought one years ago!

This car is absolutely incredible. The selective drive modes take you from track car to family road tripper in a split second. Quattro, which Audi has really perfected in terms of AWD, keeps you feeling in control no matter the conditions (or how hard to push the car). The interior is comfortable and well designed. The only complaint is that as usual, the Audi MMI interface is less intuitive than it should be. Overall fantastic car that’s every bit of fast and responsible as advertised (and maybe more). I’ve driven a 911 Carrera 4S, an Aston-Martin DB9 and a BMW M4 among others, and this is hands down the best performing vehicle I’ve ever owned.

I wrote this review because there are not many real owners reviews I can find of the RS5 on the net. Every review I read is from a car journalist perspective and is like a copy cut and paste from the previous motoring journals. The reviews on here give the best ones, we own them and don't necessarily drive porches lambos and farraris on the racetrack most days. Well at least I don't. So here goes my amateur opinion... I am a 48 year old bloke and have owned my 2017 RS5 for only a week and I absolutely love it. I took delivery of my nardo grey RS5 coupe after almost buying the last generation m4 competition. I feel have definitely made the right choice. Mine comes with £10k of options including the sports exhaust, black pack, 20 inch alloys and lots of other fancy tech things. This car looks stunning and you do not see many on the road which I like. Mine has only done 24k miles and although its a few years old it is immaculate. I have always driven sporty cars and I still have my V8 2008 M3 coupe, which I have owned for the last 10 years. The overall performance of the RS5 is explosive compared to the older M3. It makes the beemer feel like a dinasour. When I first jumped in the audi, put it in dynamic mode and planted the gas I said out loud... Fkin hell! Everyone I have taken for a spin has a massive grin. This car is so fast. Forget silly reviews saying it's not as much fun or connected as the M4 blah blah. Do we ever drive these things in the real world on a racetrack? I live rural and on my back roads I really don't need the back end sliding out when a tractor is coming the other way. In northern England the roads are damp half the time and a rear wheel drive M3/M4 or any fast rear wheel drive car cannot be pushed hard in the wet, but the RS5 can. The Audi is planted, point and go and easy to drive fast in any road conditions. I love the sound of this Audi in dynamic mode and the burble it makes. My M3 has a sports exhaust and yes the V8 does sound better, but the torque on the M3 is crap, it doesn't come alive unless you wind it up. The newer last gen M4 has similar power to the RS but a tail happy rear end and is lethal verging on unsafe in the wet. The RS can do fast and relatively safe in any road condition. The handling of the RS5 is superb it can really fly round the twisty stuff. There is a split second delay when you hit the gas and then bang it just takes off... And keeps going. Hit the brakes and it grinds to a halt in no time. Journist say its a grand tourer, I say bollox it's a Fkin rocket. It feels light and nimble. The exterior of this RS5 is amazing and the interior and level of equipment is quality and second to none. Audi know how to make a beautiful car.
