Awesome car

Beautiful car inside and out and what a joy to drive. Handles so confidently and smoothly. I also looked at BMW 335iX coupe (no camera and too harsh style), Mercedes E coupe (no 4-wheel option). The extra power over the A5 changes the car considerably. You don't go wrong if you pick this car.

Just recently got my S5, and the launch alone is enough to speak for it’s performance. Great vehicle incredibly comfortable and smooth ride! 70,000 miles and it still hit 155mph with ease.

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.

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.
