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.

I would communicate online before going into the dealership and even if u are a pro and already know the car, have a price fixed in ur head before going in. Be sure to read/understand the fine prints of vehicle extended car cares before signing paper works. Read previous/current owner's forums for their experiences on car reliability. IT IS VERY EASY TO GET SWAYED. If u go to look be sure that's all u do then leave.
