I thought about a totally different sports car when I first purchased but kept coming back to the S5 because of the added interior room. I have not been let down by the speed and handing of this vehicle. A great combination of both sports car attributes and comfort to drive. Highly recommend.

Overall Awesome Car

I live in the Carolinas so get 12 months of use out of this and it’s really my daily driver. I have an Alfa Romeo Giulia as well which is another great car and fun to drive but I generally prefer the Audi particularly on nice days. The Audi in sport mode is the way to go. Fast acceleration a lot of mid range torque just a blast to drive on my frequent trips to Charleston and Savannah or the beaches in Florida. The sport seats are very comfortable and top down driving is exceptional particularly with the standard. You can have a conversation at normal volume levels with the top down doing 80 miles an hour which is impressive. The car is substantially heavier than the Alfa Romeo and you can feel it. While it doesn’t have the razor sharp handling of the Alpha it has plenty of grip with the 19 inch tires. It’s still a relatively rare car to see which I love and believe it’s infinitely better looking than the hard top convertible‘s out there. The only downside to the soft top is the headliner is starting to separate from the top probably because of my use of automatic car washes. Other than that, it’s been a perfect car.

Bought this rocketship from an Audi dealership used last year as it had the used Audi warranty until 2022.Wow,did i make a good choice!Its my "commuter" berween Canada and Southern California for the winter.There are some amazing,fun roads beween those 2 spots(mostly,well all so far,in the US)I will get to Canadian Rockies,BC eventually.I have the convertible and the dog loves the back seat versus the MX 5 minus the front seat.It is a rocket ship.Did lots of research prior to purchase and it was recommended over and over by independent imported European car mechanics. The low profile tires are not usually in stock at the local tire store/walmart and be aware that depending on age /wear of tire you need to replace ALL FOUR or else mess up the quattro system.Did i say as well as rare they are expensive?So you need a few bucks in the bank for potential repair issue.oil changes etc.for an Audi. So far this is the best car i have ever had.I love it...

Watch out when you buy a CPO Audi

Car is great but watch out when buying a CPO AUDI. I recently purchased a CPO S5 Convertible I was told that the car was not in an accident the car-fax was clean but when I got home I noticed the front end was misaligned. I ran an auto check and found out that it was in an accident. the dealer took back the car but its now reselling it CPO and acting like its perfect. Initially I thought it was an honest mistake but know I know better. I called Audi to complain but was told that CPO cars can be certified even if they are in an accident. I am fine with that but it should be disclosed to the consumer. <br><br><br><br>
