Had fun with my S5 cabrio for 15 days. Day 16 around 600miles transmission broke, barely made it home. Waiting for almost a week now to have it replaced. Regret about buying it, should have leased it instead.

Disappoint at price point

Features that are standard on Japanese competitors are extra cost options on the Audi. Although the base price is attractive getting the S5 out the door makes it a very poor value proposition. On top of that the dealers do not want to discount this model therefore they sit on the lot. Looking elsewhere for better values.

The S5 Sportback is a pretty large car. It has loads of power,torque and tech,but it feels kind of unathletic and not much road connectivity. The steering is uncommunicative. It’s hard to feel the perimeter of the car and thus it’s hard to park.i traded this car after a year for a BMW 440xi Gran Coupe which,although not quite as powerful is a lot more fun and engaging to drive.

DRIVING THIS CAR WAS GREAT.The major problem is the trim at the bottom of the door that hits you in the bottom of your calf when entering. This item kept me from buying the Audi S5
