I had a 2019 RS5 (glacier white, limo tinted, carbon package, and dynamic package with ceramic brakes, and fully loaded) and it turned heads, even cops were pulling me over checking it out! Everyone was trying to race me and everyone wanted a ride. Even in traffic on the expressway, I had people asking me what kind of Audi is it - they'd get close and roll down their window and signal to me. I remember a man on the street walked up and asked if it was a new electric car. I had to get gas which was 2 minutes away from my home and even my friends wanted to ride in it. They did not care. My best friend was literally crying when he saw the car and he drives a BMW! My cousin lived 3 houses down and she told me she could hear my car when it started. Dynamic mode is sheer nuts! Comfort mode is super comfortable! I LOVE the RS5! It is a very NICE ride!
As always, great review Ben. Quick question, I know they aren’t really in the same category but do you prefer the Audi s5 Sportback or the X3 M40i BMW?
I'd rather just go for the normal RS 5 without this exclusive package~ That 2.9L V6 is a monster of an engine. I mean the 3.0L V6 in the S4 and S5 are great, but this 2.9L twin turbo V6 is just something else. And this is actually my favourite Audi sedan~ Something about this RS 5 sportback just screams beautiful.
@@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan still take this over a VW developed global engine, that's for sure. Audi's are just more special when they have Audi engines. Especially that 5 cylinder....
@@danstrader9418 how do you like it ? i went to a dealership once and i was treated like crap. 30 seconds into speaking to a salesman he says we don’t test drive these cars … i haven’t even asked, don’t know why he threw that in there

This will be my dream vehicle to own Ben.
Good review Ben and thanks for showing the window sticker also.
I am so blessed to have a fully loaded White Coupe RS5 2022
Only thing missing from the rs5 for me is I think it needs seats like the new m4

Thank you for the review
that 12k package is actually max 4-5k in my opinion.
is there a blind spot camera?
Nope just the warning lights
Ben, what is the 0-60 time?
I think it’s like 3.6 or something
Yes! An Audi with a proper Audi engine.
Co developed with Porsche
Yeah the Macan has this same engine, which I just realized tbh.

@@markcoopers1930 True~~ I thought that the 5.2L V10 in the R8 was a Lamborghini engine, but apparently it's an Audi engine.
@@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan Audi owns Lamborghini it is a Lamborghini engine in an r8
I don't like the screen placement!
I don’t like the screen at all
can someone tell me what makes that interior “exclusive” looks pretty basic to me
LOL
It has Bronze stitching and matte carbon fiber. That is all.
@@danstrader9418 surely Dan there has to be more
@@freshdotholla I own one. Wheels, stitching and matte carbon.

Take me shopping
Seriously? Driving out in the snow? We want to see it in optimal conditions mate.
Let’s see
Still doesn’t scream road warrior like a M3/M4 does .
Better looking than beaver teeth by far.
B9 Worst platform they created. Buy a VW
Interesting perspective. I owned a B8 S4 and now have a B9 S4 that I find has better driving dynamics.
Which VW do you consider to be competitive with the RS5?
Another poop opinion with nothing to back it up
