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.

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.

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.

Blown Away!

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.
