audi s5 road test reports and car reviews

Audi S5 S5

I’ve had alot of cars, some I’ve liked, some I’ve been glad to move on but having sold a DB9 (the running costs and depreciation were spoiling the fun) I went in search of something special but a little more mainstream. I tried the new M3 (dull interior but great engine and handling) Jag XK 4.2 and XJR (lovely sound, pretty styling but some silly cost cutting) another 650 BMW (had one before and quite liked it, and lastly the new S5. The S5 I first saw was Phantom Black with Magma red leather and carbon fibre trims, it looked absolutely amazing, we took it for a short drive and I have never known a car get so much attention, might be the LED lights but it looks amazing, we drove out through the country and the engine was just stunning, just enough V8 burble, and more than enough power if a little soft on the delivery. Basically it is quicker than it feels. We got back to the dealership and ordered right there and then. Had the car for 9 months now and it still raises a smile and draws a crowd, not bad for a non-supercar... if you are not sure, trust me you’ll love this car... er well maybe not the fuel consumption... but hey you only live once.
