It’s been 18 months and I still love it

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.

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.

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.

This my third Audi and each one puts a bigger smile on my face! Why??? Nimble, responsive, sporty, comfortable, great build quality, great acceleration and handling and love the B&O stereo....and electronics are very user friendly. I was driving an A7 and really enjoyed the car...enjoyed but did not love it. After three years it became just a car. I’ve driven my S5 for 4 months now and like it more today than the day I picked it up. Performance is outstanding and it’s the best Drive I’ve had - Lexus, Infiniti, BMW - nothing comes close. Another pleasant surprise - highway mileage pushes 30 mpg. Excellent for the performance. I’d recommend the S5 to anyone who wants great performance that puts a smile on their face.

No Need for the RS

Carlos A, 12/17/2019
2019 Audi S5 3.0 TFSI Premium Plus quattro 2dr Coupe AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)

I purchased the 2019 Audi S5 Coupe premium plus with black optic and bang audio system, and what a great choice that was. Originally I came in to purchase the RS5 coupe, but when it got down to it for extra $400-$500 a month on lease the S5 has everything the RS5 provides except the extra 100HP. Which should only be needed if you plan to track the car. Don't be discouraged the S5 can be tracked, with the upgraded differential and suspension. I truly love this car, prior to purchasing i test drove the m4/m3 and the C43amg. I chose the S5 because it is a classy car with all the right toys. Perfect for the morning commute, weekend rides and thrill rides when needed.

I have owned several sport and luxury cars. So far my 2018 Audi S5 is still one of the best. Acceleration, engine sound , handling , technology and driving pleasure are satisfying.

Great German quality. Outstanding vehicle with outstanding technology and performance. Update 5 years later. Great build quality. I set of brakes and rotors and some new sneakers. Great handling and long legs. I’m satisfied with the single turbo for every day use. No rear cup holders. 😆
