Stay away from this vehicle. It's gorgeous to behold and if you floor the pedal it flies, but in day to day driving it's simply awful. Mine has less than 9K miles on it, and it's been to the shop for no less than six different repairs. Airbag failures, engine thermostat failure, dash electronics failures, and more rattles/squeaks than I can count. It's also been back multiple times for buzzing speaker covers, which appears to be a very difficult problem to fix as the sound system is simply too powerful for the cheap plastic speaker covers which resonate at different bass frequencies. But the absolute worst thing is the laggy throttle response, which is barely even acceptable in the sportiest of modes. Low end throttle response in city navigation is just numb, and you can find countless people on the Audi forums complaining about it. I loved my 2014 S4 and it was superior to this lemming of a vehicle in every way except design/electronics. Oh yeah, and despite the laggy throttle you'll average about 17mpg in 50/50 city/highway driving.

A stylish, sporty but practical GT

The 2018 S5 Audi Sportback is a slimmer, limber cousin of the S7 with plenty of power for GT driving, ample storage space, excellent tech, and handsome looks. It has also been one the most reliable cars I have ever owned, now reaching 6 years and requiring only routine maintenance. Most folks will be happier with the S5 rather than an RS5 since it has enough power for those not needing track level/competitive performance and is considerably cheaper both to purchase and maintain compared to an RS (I know — I also have an RS5 coupe). The S5 is a very significant upgrade from an A level model, yet remains very dependable.
In a word - WOW

Owned the S5 Sportback for 3 days and absolutely blown away with performance, sound (of both car and B &O Stereo system) appearance and ease of use of infotainment system. Far easier to comprehend than Lexus GS system that I’m still trying to figure out after 3 years.

Ordered it with red leather seats and was worth the wait. Love this car. Must admit getting in and out seems to be a challenge for some (sits low) and the technology pales compared to a Tesla, Appleplay frustrates me, but the ride is great, responsive, quick, handles excellent. No service issues. Had a Q7 before and BMW535 before that. Great purchases on all in my opinion but This is by far the most fun to drive. Fast. Great on turns and windy roads.
