    "Awesome Sport Coupe" on by mdski

    Pros: Head turning beauty, Great performance

    Cons: Gas guzzler

    Summary: Don't take someguy99's opinion, he probably doesn't even own one. The car is everything I thought it would be. Great power and handling; AWD excellent; feels planted and secure at high speed; fine interior- everything feels nice to the touch, well placed and easy to use; gets lots of looks, questions, and compliments.
    Complaints: Handling is not razor sharp; lacks some options for the price.
    The S5 is more a sport tourer than sport car. It is made to travel long distances fast, in style and comfort, and as such is near perfect.

    "Incredible European Sedan A++++++++++++" on by luxluther

    Pros: Excellent Torque (More than new M3), Refinement, Sophistication, Handling, Quattro, Bang & Olufsen, Classy Style

    Cons: Gas Prices over 3.50/gal

    Summary: I purchased this Audi after having had numerous BMW's with two of them being M3s. This folks is the car to own. I have no regrets as the S5 is a mature version of the M3 that I used to have. Interior Quality is impeccable, engine has gut busting torque, and the overall design is just beautiful. I have never had this amount of attention in a car. Granted it's new but does it turn heads with the sleek but masculine profile. Interior amazes me and nothing under $100k comes even close. I am extremely satisfied with everything but one thing... Gas mileage. Its hard to own something that gets less than 20mpg in today's eco-conscious world of Priuses and Hybrids..

    "Awesome ride." on by eriqc

    Pros: Great ride/handling. Beautiful exterior and interior.

    Cons: Couldn't think of any.

    Summary: I own an Audi A6 4.2 but saw an S5 driving one day so I decided to go take one for a test spin soon after. The car is drop dead gorgeous in person and a blast to drive. "SomeGuy" is an idiot. Regular maintenance you should expect to pay a little more for because this isn't a ford. Any good automobile in this category you should expect to pay a little more for, like a comparable BMW 6 Series or Mercedes. Pay no attention to someguy. This car is awesome.

    "Its as good as it gets" on by SDS5

    Pros: State or the art in Automobile Technology

    Cons: Hard to fault

    Summary: The S5 uses Audi's direct injection FSI technology, which has been shown to get 10-20% better economy than non-direct injection.

    Everyone seems to complain about the Fuel economy, but this is an Engine thats pumping out 354HP, and with that power level, 14mpg city is pretty darn good.

    "WOW TALK ABOUT EYE CANDY" on by SMORAN245

    Pros: FULLY LOADED NOTHING BUT PROS EXCEPT BACK SEAT

    Cons: BACK SEAT LACK OF ACCESORIES

    Summary: IN THE LAST TEN YRS IVE HAD 15 CARS THIS S5 HAS IT ALL EXCEPT REAR SEAT BUT ITS A SPORTS CAR. IF I HAVE A EXTRA PASSENGER ILL THROW THEM IN THE HUGE TRUNK NEXT TO MY GOLF BAG , BASKETBALL ,SKIS, ETC LIKE I SAID I HAVE HAD SOME NICE CARS BUT THE S5 IS HYPNOTIZING THE NOSE AND THOSE DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHTS IN BLACK THUMBS UP ALL OVER THE PLACE THATS IF I CAQN SEE THEM AS I FLOATING BY
