Just bought one of these today, a 2015 S5 3.0 V6 TFSI with 44k miles on the clock, and red/black leather/Alcantara interior. Astonishing performance, and as you say, sleeper looks. Great video btw.
Best car I ever owned, traded it in for a 2020 RS5 but I enjoyed the S5 more, having owned M4’s and C63S I’d take the S5 over all of those. Brilliant car and super reliable!!
just found this, im thinking of getting one of these, currently a S3 stage 2, im older now 62 and want a tourer, was mulling over a 2 door coupe as im on my own, and I did like the 5 things you hate, the S3 is the same, it blares all the time as I drive in highland Scotland
Love my S5, got every extra going except the 360 degree rear camera. Can’t fault the car at all. Just booked it in for a stage 1 remap so I’m excited to tweek the engine a little now.
Yeah they are fantastic aren't they. Mine wasn't even fully fully spec'd and it was a wonderful place to be on a day to day. Remaps sounds exciting, you can take them up to RS5 levels of power I'm led to believe. Is that what you are aiming for?
@@macswhips yes bud I wouldn’t trade mine for anything. Stage 1 will get my 400bhp then I’m aiming for 450-500bhp and that’ll do me I think? Really want to change the exhaust though to the RS oval pipes, seems quite difficult to do though?
@@simonmoore3546 I hear you. I would have one again in a heartbeat. Yes I think that would be enough! 😂the standard power is enough to beat 85% of road users...400BHP would be fantastic. Pipes sound great, are you doing that for performance, aesthetic or sound?
@@macswhips yeah I agree fully, not many cars will sit them when they take off. Kinda want to change the pipes for all 3 reasons you mentioned but I don’t want anything too loud. Maybe a slightly deeper grumble than the Dynamic setting plus I really love the oval pipes. It’s all money when you start down this road eh haha. I love the colour of your interior, stands out a bit as it’s different 🙌🏻
@@simonmoore3546 Yeah I get that, some exhausts are just too snap, crackle and pop for my liking these days. It really can be expensive. Unfortunately, but also thankfully for my wallet, mine was only a 3 year lease so I couldn't really modify it. But yeah loved the red, thought it was maybe a bit much at first, but it was a deeper red than I first thought so loved it by the end.
Ah I know mate, I was meant to click the virtual cockpit when I ordered it but messed up the sheet 😭 But yeah the combo is perfect. I've seen a few with carbon, looks quality. Have you still got yours?
I'm just in my old A3 at the moment, also got my 106 on the drive that I'm slowly restoring! Looking at getting something new but not too sure whether to go for something big and comfortable or something quick again as I am doing quite a lot of mileage at the moment
Enjoyed and agreed with your lovely comments. Just got myself the A5 B9.5 35TFSI. The S5 is too costly in Singapore. Love the interior, drive and quietness of this coupe like sedan. Missed although the BM’s quick button access to favourites, though the MMI is great.
Thanks Vincent, I appreciate your comment. Yeah the A5's are lovely cars, I was considering one myself now the S5 has gone. What BM did you have? Do you live in Singapore? I've only been once, but I love it out there.
@@macswhips yes i live and work in Singapore. I traded in my BMW F30 318i. It has a digital cockpit that changed every time a different drive mode is selected.
Sorry for the slow reply Vincent, this was hidden in my comment section for some reason. Fantastic that you live in Singapore, I bet the car wasn’t cheap. I know people who live there who comment on the tax on cars! Did you prefer BMW or the Audi?
Hello. I loved your video and the car. I am close to buying 2017 sportback S5 TFSI but it has 98,000 miles (158K km) on it. Would you say it is reliable enough to buy it even now ? I know its important who had it before but i dont know, its a random used car dealership. Thank you
Thanks Tadija, really appreciate it. If it has been looked after then I think so. Its really hard to say but that mileage isn't too much if its been cared for.
Ah beautiful. I did a written review on the C300, genuinely one of my favourite all round cars. Fast, great looking and extremely comfortable. I hope you enjoy it
@@macswhips just two weeks now and considering getting rid of it 🥲 no matter what way I put the seat I can’t get it right. I,m 6”2 so if you have any suggestions please share
Ah that's a shame! I'm not as tall as you are so I don't really have any suggestions! Maybe stretch your hamstrings 😂 that can sometimes be the source of back pain haha

Just got mine this week.
amazing. How are you finding it?
I got the same combo black and red love it. But you need the digital cockpit! And carbon Inlays transforms the interior!
Ah I know mate, I was meant to click the virtual cockpit when I ordered it but messed up the sheet 😭 But yeah the combo is perfect. I've seen a few with carbon, looks quality. Have you still got yours?
@@macswhips yes I only got it a few weeks ago was searching for a few months for the right spec to come up. Loving it 😜
Ah amazing, enjoy it! I had mine two years and miss it a lot
@@macswhips what car do you have now I only come across your channel recently

Consider yourself lucky owning this beautiful and powerful Audi S5 Sportback.
I really did! Incredible car!
Yes, please don't abuse BMW. I'm still debating between that and this Audi.
Audi for me. But I grew up on VW's so I probably have a bias!
@@macswhips I bought the 2022 Mercedes C300 three days ago.
Ah beautiful. I did a written review on the C300, genuinely one of my favourite all round cars. Fast, great looking and extremely comfortable. I hope you enjoy it
The seat breaks my back :( otherwise i love it
Ah thats a shame. I did have friends who said that mine hurt their back on the longer road trips. How long have you had yours Jason?
