Handling is beautiful
I just got my S5in nov and what a purchase. The roar of the engine is awesome, the car loves to be driven fast, I have to keep a close eye on the speedometer, or before you know you're doing 100 no problem. The drive and handling is beautiful except that silly sunroof, I'll live though, I don't recommend this car because I don't want to see too many on the road. Just kidding get one.
My Thoughts
S5 is indeed a beautiful car. I just got it, but I must say it is not that great of a car. I own an M5 2007 so there is a big difference in performance. When driving you must step on the gas more due to the quattro system. When you release you will feel a slight deceleration which makes people think you are braking but you are not. The handling is not as nice due to the really light wheel. I do not get any feedback like when I drive rear wheel cars. You will notice it the most when you drive on twisty roads. I do understeer on turns since the line of entry is a little different with this car. Great car for everyday drive but for performance the 335i can boogie against this car.

A great ride
Considered M3 - but this S5 is an overall awesome car. Great looks, ride, handling. Love it.
That darn sunroof
I've only had my car for a few months but here's my take. There has to be something they can do to the roof to help me have a open air feeling to that car. The city mileage is terrible, highway with cruise 23 to 24 not bad. But I don't know why they can't do better, my E500 averaged 21 and I saw a high of 27 in a car that had over 300 hp and was bigger. I wish the transmission helped with the city driving. Yes the car is fast, but am I the only one who thinks this car want to go ballistic on the highway. Not that I'm complaining I just wish the 0-60 matched the height a bit more.
Black Pearl & Red Magna
From what I can see, although, it is quite early, this car is a definite keeper. I have to laugh when I read some reviews commenting on the MPG's. Guys, it's posted right there on the sticker. If you do not agree with something, don't buy it! What a great mix of luxury and performance. I looked at, and test drove most everything in the S5's class, and, I don't think that any one car touched it. You have to love the exclusivity of it, too. I have yet to see one on the road, and I live in a fairly large city.
