I know I'm late, but I bought this car in America (Left Hand Drive) July of 2018. Brilliant Black, Red Interior, and I go to sleep at night dreaming about the next time I'll allow myself to take it out again. Named her after an old flame cause every time I get inside it feels so good!!
I watched every available video featuring the new Audi S5 before buying the Sportback version but this was the video I always returned to. Very arty and informative really enjoyed the balance. The presenters ‘just got out of bed look???’ no, I don’t think so more a laid back yet factual approach. Ciro de Siena is cool calm and collected, one of the best. Keep up the excellent reviews 👍🏻
A really great review and delivered in such a balanced way that it provides a complete insight into the car . Most helpful to a prospective buyer and makes you feel as if you are actually in the car on test . Well done .
Absolutely love my s5 sportback. You hit the nail on the head with the comment of it being nicer than your house ect. when I drive places, I don't want to step out of my car, I enjoy being in there so much.
it is just as pleasant as you describe this car. Whenever I step into mine I have the feeling that this is a sporty car for the business man who doesn't like to be conspicuous.
I spent a long time deciding between this and the BMW and Merc rivals. Got this in the end in Manhattan grey with grey interior. A fewmonths down the line and I still walk around it admiring it and the driving experience is perfect- sporty and refined
I’ve got a 2018 S5 also in the Myros black. Minus the red seats thankfully. Got rid of a bit of the chrome ( windows, badges etc) so looks even better, without going OTT. Absolutely love it.
Only thing that I hate about this car is that you can't get ventilated seats with the diamond stitched leather... Such a stupid quirk considering that people that have money don't want to give up one or the other
By the look, yes that's the super crafted handsome car as Audi has been doing. By the performance, a 4.7 sec to reach 100 km for 260s kilowatt with 500 Nm is excellent
1:30 There are DSG transmissions on vehicles with more TQ than the S4/S5. The ZF8 choice has nothing to do with to much torque. It’s about drive-ability/weight/cost (initial&maintenance)/almost indistinguishable performance loss
Dynamic makes the care more responsive, it stiffens up the steering & suspension, and causes the gear box to change up at higher revives. Whereas comfort mode softens up everything for cruising. Or put another way, dynamic: On my own on a winding road, comfort: On the motorway with my wife in the passenger seat!
@@timl1481 yes but in the Audi there are two settings. You can change the drive from dynamic to comfort. However you by pulling on the gear shift you can change the car from D to S. Therefore one can drive in dynamic mode but be in D drive or could be in comfort mode but be in S drive. I’m confused about the difference between the 2 modes
Mercedes and Bmw used to be the benchmark, and very little could separate the two... now though, the Audi range is showing them flames, especially that RS department. Beemer and Mercedes need to pull up their socks.
Once you drive an Audi and experience how in control you feel and the connection between driver and this car, you will not be satisfied driving anything else. This is my second Audi and I plan to own my third Audi very soon. See you all on the open roads.
Ciro you say this car can be a cruiser but by looking at in general it seems to want be more a weekend car rather than an everyday drive car the way it looks
Mothusi Maake A Sportback version? Yes they're doing a S5 Sportback but not sure if it'll be coming to your local market. It looks bloody fantastic too..
Alchemist124860 The speed is displayed by digital numbers in the centre of the rev counter and being a fully digital display you can configure it in several different ways including the traditional twin dials
It's going to take a while getting used to the front..! I've had the past 2 gens and those look much more aggressive in my opinion compared to this gen!
pretty poor review. didnt really cover how the car drives. is it prone to understeer like most audi's, can you steer it with the throttle? then when he talks about the performance his idea of a test is to put his foot down. where is the timing gear?
love how this guy always looks like he just woke up in the park.

How do you find it? Thinking of buying one!
Brilliant review. I've just got mine. Coupe. Metallic White. All options. I've had Merc's and BMW's and this car is way better.
Same here, coupe white with red interior. Perfect GT
Do you regret not getting a sportback? I like how the coupe looks more but I'm worried I'll regret not having 4 doors
Excellent review. Very straightforward and unbiassed. Thank you.
Super excellent camera work and the commentary was spot on.
Best Car Show Presenter
headed to the dealer Monday to get pricing and test. great review. videography is world class.
This is a great review of the car I just bought!
Greg Chase congrats! Enjoy your new car!
Rick
Is it not a wonderful car? Everytime I drive to and from work ( effortlessly) forget that it's work I'm going to
Wooooow 🙏🙏🙏
The 5 door version will look even more spectacular. A5 is a wonderful machine
Your reviews are continually improving.

Gosh but this video is beautiful! Wow! Best on UA-cam!
It Is an amazing car...I am speaking from experience...the way that the car eats up the corners...it's just phenomenal.
it is just as pleasant as you describe this car. Whenever I step into mine I have the feeling that this is a sporty car for the business man who doesn't like to be conspicuous.
thank you for this review...I just bought the S5 sport back and grab it in a couple days...keep up the good work
+Bryan Kramer Thanks for watching and let us know how your ownership experience goes!

Love the reviews on this channel - very watchable, very slick production - nice work!
I spent a long time deciding between this and the BMW and Merc rivals. Got this in the end in Manhattan grey with grey interior. A fewmonths down the line and I still walk around it admiring it and the driving experience is perfect- sporty and refined
How is it holding up? Would you still recommend getting one?
Ciro is really one of the best motor presenters and this is my absolute dream car.
just watched this and can't help but admit that you did a very good review of this car!
A very serene and relaxing review. Enjoyed every moment. 👍👍
Gorgeous car, particularly liked some of the slow driving shots.
This review is amazing, the car, the music the surroundings. 👍👍👍
nice vid, watching from the UK! love the reviews
I’ve got a 2018 S5 also in the Myros black. Minus the red seats thankfully. Got rid of a bit of the chrome ( windows, badges etc) so looks even better, without going OTT. Absolutely love it.
awesome review and awesome car no doubt..
I like this guys review style 👍
Love these reviews, so comprehensive.
I like how how he launches it in comfort mode. He doesn't know how to program that car to full performance
Wow. This is car perfection for me.
Holy shit how come I only just found this channel?!? Brilliant just brilliant
great rv as always
I like this car it will be my first when I grow up wow it is so nice it has cool settings and features so cool
Such a relaxing review I love it lol
great review!!
this is best review of Audi S5 man. I'm sold, only cash is a problem, but im fully sold...no need for RS5
Awesome car awesome review good work my lawd.
This review was so beautiful 😍
Amazing car. Great review !
Cars.co.za please do not lose this guy as your presenter/reviewer. He's the best!
Loved the synthwave soundtrack. Pretty dope.
I'm planning on buying soon 😍
love this s5
Only thing that I hate about this car is that you can't get ventilated seats with the diamond stitched leather... Such a stupid quirk considering that people that have money don't want to give up one or the other
I agree with you.
I am a Persom
lmao. That's the exact problem I have with this car too
i agree 100%
The newer Audi models have this kind of understated beauty that appeals to me quite a bit, really.
My baby, audi for life
Would choose this sexy coupe over the competition in a heartbeat!
I'm a Beama man but I like this amabhengel it's mcwaaah 🖤
By the look, yes that's the super crafted handsome car as Audi has been doing. By the performance, a 4.7 sec to reach 100 km for 260s kilowatt with 500 Nm is excellent
Speechless
the best car of the world, i love it
I believe the RS5 will have the Panamera based V6 with 450 hp. So it will definitely be beastly
yeah the 2.9l which is odd cause this one has a 3l v6, so im curious now.
awesome car awesome review
Very nice video car review
1:30 There are DSG transmissions on vehicles with more TQ than the S4/S5. The ZF8 choice has nothing to do with to much torque. It’s about drive-ability/weight/cost (initial&maintenance)/almost indistinguishable performance loss
1st comment? I've made it in life guys!
hahaha... Christmas came early this year
Comfort Ubisi congrats
WHAT WAS THAT PINK ROCK IN THE BACKGROUND AT 04:01??
I bought an A7 55Tfsi but wonder if this would have been better. Poss gonna chop it in for one.
Best video from cars.co.za pondering on getting one
I love it
Great video! Quick question, whats the difference in driving feel between driving in D dynamic or S comfort?
Dynamic makes the care more responsive, it stiffens up the steering & suspension, and causes the gear box to change up at higher revives. Whereas comfort mode softens up everything for cruising. Or put another way, dynamic: On my own on a winding road, comfort: On the motorway with my wife in the passenger seat!
@@timl1481 yes but in the Audi there are two settings. You can change the drive from dynamic to comfort. However you by pulling on the gear shift you can change the car from D to S. Therefore one can drive in dynamic mode but be in D drive or could be in comfort mode but be in S drive. I’m confused about the difference between the 2 modes
What the hell is the pink/purple thing on the side of the road at 3:02?
Mercedes and Bmw used to be the benchmark, and very little could separate the two... now though, the Audi range is showing them flames, especially that RS department. Beemer and Mercedes need to pull up their socks.
Mothusi Maake Lol u say that when there isnt even a rival for the C63 and M3 for 2 years allready
😂 😂 you are talking shit
Once you drive an Audi and experience how in control you feel and the connection between driver and this car, you will not be satisfied driving anything else. This is my second Audi and I plan to own my third Audi very soon. See you all on the open roads.
How’s the rear suspension
Should have used the launch control in dynamic mode for the acceleration test, feel it was a waisted opportunity
Its all fun and games until he mentions the price
Please review a renault kiger
Ciro you say this car can be a cruiser but by looking at in general it seems to want be more a weekend car rather than an everyday drive car the way it looks
Zf still better than dsg , another audi that proves the dsg is a gimmick as this and the RS6 work better with ZF.
Kavi4GP and the new Giulia quad too
is there going to be a 5 door version?
Mothusi Maake A Sportback version? Yes they're doing a S5 Sportback but not sure if it'll be coming to your local market. It looks bloody fantastic too..
These things are bought on looks and engine. Unfortunately, this s5 is not an improvement over the previous v8 s5 (b4 the upgrade) in either dept.
What color is this?
Sweet ...
great quattro car
please review the RS5 now, ciro
Cmon guys, the entire test was done in 'Comfort Mode'.
where is this place?
plz tell me.!!
+ABUL AL MAMUN Hello! It's the road between Simonstown and Cape Point, just outside Cape Town.
Thanks
Why not show the revs and the speed ?
Alchemist124860 The speed is displayed by digital numbers in the centre of the rev counter and being a fully digital display you can configure it in several different ways including the traditional twin dials
Maybe because they're not actively trying to "promote" speeding
NZsarge1 lol I missed that not used to seeing a speedometer like that, my bad
NZsarge1 lol checked the videos again I still don't see any digital speedometer u must have missed my point
Vice president Lol. Not a chance!
6:00 *insert joke about the check engine light*
lol R928000 is that cheaper?
Have the decency to credit the music.
Inside definitely is worth the price tag and so is the performance, but the outside looks like it's worth R300000
Its cheaper at R920 000? Wow
I think he meant relative to the RS5.
That makes sense.
why is he refering to the interior as beautiful and lovely???
Davis Kambi how else would you refer to it, champ?
Am I the only one that saw the Check engine light?
learn something about cars, idiot.
wake me up whens its over
It's going to take a while getting used to the front..! I've had the past 2 gens and those look much more aggressive in my opinion compared to this gen!
Check it out in the rear view mirror!
I feel like they cocked up with the front of the car... :(
Luke Davids your understanding of design is flawed
Too much music!
People subscribe to car channels to listen to honest car reviews and the sound of the cars, NOT your favorite tunes!
7th!
i'm still undecided between a camaro ss and this :c
MrSuperrajab American cars are junk. A Nissan micra is a better choice over a camero
MrSuperrajab you need a better understanding of cars if you are comparing the two
how to improve your eyesight
outgoing S5 looks better. review didn't cover exterior or practicality at all. I'll stick with my 4 series
pretty poor review. didnt really cover how the car drives. is it prone to understeer like most audi's, can you steer it with the throttle? then when he talks about the performance his idea of a test is to put his foot down. where is the timing gear?
If this isnt a grand tourer then wtf is. Smh. Its not a sports car. A porsche cayman, bmw z4, audi tt rs for example are sports cars.
you right. $ 600000. is. nothing. for. thos. car's
not worth it..still loves my BMW
