Its worth mentioning that this one have standard fixed suspension. Optional DRC suspension is a game changer for comfort and dynamics.
How so?
The suspension does not change in this model regardless of which drive mode you’re in. If you get dynamic package it comes with DRC, RS sport exhaust, and red brake calipers but the DRC actually will adjust the suspension when you switch to comfort mode and stiffen up when you’re in dynamic or RS mode.
Great numbers and sweet car
Yes, it's a cool car, but way too stiff
@@DMCarReviews as long as it’s not like a zl1 😁I’ll daily it
@@moescollaI'll just say this... the Corvette and Viper are more comfortable on the ride
Btw non black exhaust = no sports exhaust. Great review
Thanks!
Any thoughts on S5 vs RS5?
The S5 is more comfortable, sounds better, costs 20K less, and can be made faster for $800.
hi man!) you missed one important thing in this review - audi makes their cars for wet and snow conditions. no one bmw "m" and MB will never get the same quality of control in wet and especially snow conditions like any audi rs4, rs5 etc. i used a5 3.0 with quattro (torsen) in winter time - this is the best 4wd system that i've ever used. the best.
so if you live in CA you don't need this kind of 4wd, but if you live smwr with rain and snow audi quattro is the best choise for your fun and safety in control)
BMW xDrive is a phenomenal system. Had my X5 4.4i in the snowy weather, it was excellent, and we recently had a huge snowstorm here. I took my X4 M40i through large snow, and while most cars were stuck it effortlessly got through all the snow. I've had an Audi S5 too... BMW has the most adaptive and flexible system on the market.
@@DMCarReviews x4 & x5 are from the other league) it's not correct compare them with an s5) x5=q7 x4m40=sq5 s5=m440 - this is much more correct)
@@DeutscheCarFan They all drive great in the snow regardless... What's even more funny is the m440i is really an rs5 competitor, rather than an s5 :)
wonder if its better to just get a s5 sportback and tune it if you want more power.
That is exactly the best route, in this case.
The S5 should be enough for most people it's got a nice balance between comfort and performance. RS5 is too expensive for what you get.
@@JeanClaud3The ride in the RS5 is horrible, and it sounds worse.
1:53 “most attractive coupe” 😂
@@stealthhtm23 Technically they are of a "coupe" styling. The RS5 originally came out only as a two door.
so I own a A5 2023 black optic package similar to the rs5, and I personally think your wayyyy off on the interior review, Im pretty tall and man I sit in there for hours just fine. The speakers in the car sound just fine. Now I will say for the passengers in the back seats, I've had friends complain about it being cramped. But other than that great review, keep it up!
Thank you for your feedback. Your A5 does not have super tight sports seats, which make a big difference. The roofline is fairly low, so it does give a pretty tight feeling. The speakers, like I said... were okay, at best. The speakers in the Volvo S60 sound much better, in comparison, along with other cars in this class.
@@DMCarReviews that’s so true, anyways man keep up the work! Got my sub
@@capitalac3258 Thank you very much!
@@DMCarReviewsI have an 2023 a5 also and my speakers sound great and have no complaints about them sounding bad. Also do you think the rs5 is worth the upgrade over the a5 for speed wise. I’m thinking about getting one in the future.
@@jonlikesplanesGet an S5... better all around. Quick and comfortable.
Love that v6! Its so agressive and fast. Good perfomance. But I wish Audi had a car that could go head te head to the m3/4.
I wasn't a fan of the sound. The S5 sounds better, and I think overall an inline 6 engine is way better. I think this car can compete with the m3/m4, I don't see why it wouldn't?
@@DMCarReviews Hmm, indeed. The S5 sounds better. But, I think that both s5/rs5 pre-facelift sounded better then today's models. Ands, I mean they are supposed to compete, but in the reality, m3/4 are faster unfortunately...
@@DMCarReviewsOh, I forgot to mention: thanks for the video! As always, the video and sound quality is insane!
@@Antonio-ck9dr keep in mind the B9 was released 6-7 years ago so direct competition was the F8X. Check out the new Sport Auto lap time for the RS4 competition it was extremely close to the M3 touring lap time record. Down 60+hp in comparison thats pretty impressive
@@Antonio-ck9dr joe achilles did a comparison
RS4(wagon) 0-60 3.3
M3 (sedan) 0-60 3.1
That seems toe to toe lol
So you can’t find an RS5 competition? It’s honestly a completely different car…. Ride, handling, steering, etc. which it should be for the difference.
I only saw one this year. How is it a different car? Same power, same interior, beside minor tweaks
@@DMCarReviews New suspension, new exhaust, new sport diff, new chassis tuning. Big changes.
@@qwqrs3501 Exhaust is irrelevant to the driving dynamics. Suspension is the same overall, just a different setup in the shocks from what I read. Tuning will lead to possibly better handling, but will it make a difference that a driver can notice?
@@DMCarReviews Small things composed together become qualitative. I can't explain it to you, it's right to have different ideas, even the owner's I have a lot of things to spit at it. Nothing is exactly right, but different does make a difference.
As an owner of a competition if you spent the added money and got nothing wouldn’t you be pissed? I’m telling you it’s a completely different feeling car from a non just via the handling, and ride. No added power and only adding the ability to do donuts because of the dif why would someone spend the money if in your words adds shocks….
As someone who has owned a b9.5 RS5 Sportback for ~2 years... 2 B9 S5s for 2 years and various other Germans. This is probably the most inaccurate "review" of an RS5 I've ever seen. "extremely harsh ride"? Like have you even sat in an M3 or C63? Also your entire Pros and Cons list is so counter intuitive that its crazy. "Soft Paint", "high quality fit and finish", "No physical dials", "too many VW pieces"????
I've also seen you comment on bunch of other Audi videos showing your weird bias against Audi's. You gotta learn to be more neutral man because at this pace no one's going to watch these low quality videos when you don't know what you're talking about.
I appreciate your feedback, and I am glad you spent time watching my "low quality" video (which people seem to love more and more each day). As someone who owned a 21' Audi S5, I shared my points. I showed the pros and cons. You don't have to agree or disagree, it's what it is. I definitely find a lack of dials and soft paint and too many VW pieces an issue on a 90K car. The ride is awful, and I couldn't take it more than an hour. I also did a co-review on an RS5 stage 2 with the owner, and he shared his thoughts on his Audi as well. We agreed on many things. You'll probably disagree with him too, and think he is wrong. As far as the M3 and C63, I drove both cars. The real difference between them is they ride better and feel like true RWD sports car, and not an expensive VW. Here is the RS5 stage 2 review - enjoy!

1. How am I supposed to agree with your pros and cons that don't make sense? You said "high quality fit & finish", then said "Soft Paint”. Now you’re calling the car an “expensive VW”.
2. I watched the Stage 2 RS5 video and the owner did not agree with everything you said? If anything you made it awkward by trying to mention how you think his car has “too many VW parts”. And yes the ride was harsh because the guy lowered his car 1” more than factory spec. Why do you think it wouldn't ride worse? Let’s use some common sense here.
3. Listen, based on your reply I can understand that you don’t like the car and that’s fine but when you go out of your way to tell people it’s bad because it’s an “expensive VW” and not a "true RWD sports car", you come off as a biased fanboy. All I ask is that you do better.
Also… Put. Down. Your. Phone. When you’re test driving other people's cars. It’s an easy way to get into an accident.
@@randyragy4592 1) Interior fit and finish is not = paint quality of the car. Listen carefully next time, lol. Yes, it is owned and made with lots of interchangeable VW parts, so it is an expensive VW. An Audi S3 is a Golf R. Any Audi mechanic will tell you that
2) He agreed the ride is stiff, and he agreed about the parts. The ride on his car was just as rough as the stock RS5's.
3) I did not say it's a bad car, I just said for 90K it's not worth the price tag, and yes it is a more expensive VW, as a Cayenne is a more expensive Touareg (hope you don't deny that). I also said it is nose heavy at higher speeds, and that there are better RWD options out there, in terms of ride and handling. Nobody here said it's a bad car! I had an S5 myself, and it was an excellent vehicle.
As far as the phone, it's used when performing Dragy runs, but I do agree it's better to not hold it :)
@@DMCarReviews You really don't know what you're talking about. The VW has passed down parts from Audi. The VW is the lower end of VAG. Every part they make is pretty much VW/Audi. Audi designs most of VW's stuff.
