I have a 21 RS5 Sportback and absolutely love it. Ascari Blue is beautiful.
15:45 slight correction - the standard RS5 does not auto upshift in manual mode. It bounces off the limiter.
Also, at 17:06, the awd is a Torsen based system that is 40:60 front to rear split by default and can send as much as 85% to the rear.
I was going to say the same thing lol. the understeer part in particular. I have yet to have my RS5 understeer ever. I'm sure the comp package makes it handle even better, but the standard RS5 is incredibly competent.
Its def rear biased had a b9 s4 was a blast to drive
@@eduardlast23 Audi is fwd biased.
@@DMCarReviews You better stick to reviewing cupcakes.
@@DMCarReviews you should probably stop reviewing cars
Cars have gotten so expensive after COVID 😢
COVID was just a convenient excuse for all car manufacturers to jack up prices, and to top it off slimy, greedy dealers add more on top of it.
True
Thank Sleepy Joe
@@DiegoHernandez-yo1pg No, thank the Orange Baboon, who said that there were only 15 cases of Covid in the US, soon to be zero, and it would all be over by April when it would get warmer, which was then followed by several hundred thousand deaths and a decimated economy bacause he refused to admit that Covid was real. There, fixed it for you.
It’s nuts that it got pricey cuz of supply issues and the chip shortage but idk if it’s slowly getting back to normal but it may never will
Never letting go of my 2014 RS5
V8 ❤️
Superb reviews dude, great format, great knowledge of the vehicle, great thrashing on the canyon road 😆 Great Job!
I miss the sound of the old V8 RS5....
Dude the B8 RS 4 and RS 5 were something special with that 4.2L N/A V8. I still love this twin turbo 2.9L V6, but the V8 versions were truly insane.
It was a special car
Even the 3.0 in the current S5 sounds better
You gotta love the canyon driving videos, always looking forward to these.👌🏽👍🏽
I'm glad you enjoy them!
@@MilesPerHr You were hustling it! NICE DRIVING! 👍
Great review. RS 5 all day. I can get out and look back at it and not have any excuses.
I’d take the RS5 Comp or the AMG Merc out of all the cars you mentioned.👌🏽🔥🔥
sick review of the car !
As beautiful and wonderful as that car is I would still choose my 2019 s5 coupe prestige, all the options, great power and 50k-70k less. Plus the flat bottom steering wheel feels so much better, i get that they made heated steering standard but man the round wheel just loses that sporty feel. Great video!
agreed! 2019 design is better
Just signed for a 2018 S5 Sportback, I also love the steering wheel, and I definitely prefer the noticeable lack of piano black trim. The newer infotainment is set up better but the MMI control wheel is better just for the fact that you don’t have to use a touchscreen. The newer model’s matte carbon trim is maybe a little nicer than the gloss carbon though 🤷🏻♂️
Not sure why Audi does this to RS5.. RS6 and RS7 both get flat bottom steering wheel + heated..
This car seems wonderful, my current dream car. Would definitely have one over the BMW M and Mercedes AMG competitors.
If you hold the traction control bottom for around 3 seconds you’ll get the TC ‘’completely ‘’off and it will allow you to build more boost during lunch.
Thanks for upload!!
You bet!
Such a stunning spec
Amazing car,such a monster, im sure it will compete with the m4 comp very well, were past the point of these old audis 20 years ago, never tought that audi will be making cars like this, im happy i still stick with being an audi fanboy. Will always be
Yep they totally did just enough to harden this car without spoiling its exceptional touring ability.
Nice review guys 👍
I have a 2019 RS5 in Navarro with full carbon kit. It looks as special as the Competition but I had to tune it to make the power I wanted. But the body control is poor when pushing to 9/10ths
Keep in mind the competition package is around a $17000 option, not worth it at the slightest
Beautiful car
I love this RS5 Comp, do you think they offer 19 inch wheels since it's a handling focused car you do need that extra sidewall, if your on the track for more grip.
@Milesperhr. Great review of the RS5, thanks for saying that this has a power sunroof. Lots of YT Reviewers don't mention whether it has a fixed or power sunroof. I was wondering what your opinion would be on this. If you had to chose between this RS5 Comp or a Cadilac CT4v Blackwing with 10speed auto which would you choose and why. Your opinion would be just from the Driving experiences and not about practicality of a Sedan. Just purely from the prospective of pure overall experience.. Thanks.
I loved the CT4 Blackwing, but not the 10-speed auto. The CT4 BW with the Manual is a phenomenal car - better to drive than the RS5 Comp with better steering feel a more responsive chassis. That said, the RS5 Comp is much better looking with a vastly nicer interior. The CT4 BW is tens of thousands less, but the interior reflects that price.
@@MilesPerHr Yes that is exactly what I was thinking. Thanks for the reply :) Yeah 76K is M3 Comp money, so not sure who exactly Audi wants in the RS5 comp. driver seat
I had the 2021 “regular” RS5 coupe, and was very underwhelmed. also, the spring/shock rebound (non mag ride) was so bad on my local bumpy roads was so unbearable, I got rid of it within 9 months. luckily I made money on the car lol. sounds like this Comp would have solved that problem tho. but F that, for $115,000+ CAD.
Its a beautiful car, but audi needs to take it back to the drawing board if they want to compete with the M4/M3
@@blewyd have you seen the 2025 A5? Audi has completely gave up. it’s sad.
@@stealthhtm23 it's a shame. When the 5 series first came out it looked amazing
Yeah buddy
always a fan of the S line from audi. Too expensive lol but when i see one, i love it.
Riddle me this, how does the Audi competition package cost more than the BMW equivalent add-on but add 0 horsepower.
I paid an extra few thousand on my M4 to get the competition and it gave me like ~30HP as well.
I Love V6 engine in this RS5 😍
Awesome Audi!
Very nice video
If your car didn't come with a manual... which would u rather have? (sportback vs sedan)
lovethe car but hate the new tach and cluster design in those love the previeous ones like in b9 s4 and rs3 etc
I have a 2023 RS5 Vorsprung...I've never seen a 'Competition' for sale!
AUDI RS5, RS7, de lo mejor que tiene AUDI, RS7, también, pero me conformaria con cualquiera de esos 3
Launch @ 20:08
Mantap sekali
V6? Still, so sad the 4.0 v8 didn’t make it in this from the rs6/7
The lack of a flat bottom steering wheel bothers me
This audi is nice but like you said the head room is not good but the vehicle color looks good I love blue and could you get the audi rs3 or the rs5 sport back
Already did the RS3 and the RS5 Sportback - check them out on the channel 👍
It looks great and would have been my next car. But after owning two Audis and dealing with reliability and customer service problems, I’m done with them.
needs competition badging. can't let the AMG and M boys get off that easy.
This is M4 comp territory.
M4 Comp eats this for breakfast
M3 and M4 are a lot faster. It’s a shame Audi reused a Porsche SUV engine instead of making something special.
@@SupremxcyxiAudi hasn’t made anything special for years. Even the R8 is a debadged Lambo. RS Q8 is the same story
@@samiwasti8400 rs3 is one of the only special engines they have made for a while and yet that’s still relatively old
Yes but does it take over the territory?
RS5 Comp or M3 Comp? What's the verdict?
carbon roof woulda been chefs kiss
6 years old but still a very nice looking car with good performance and a fair price in the US 👍
100k isn't a fair price for a car of this class/size. An M4 can be had for 20k less.
@@DMCarReviews the car where Miles tested cost in Germany US $ 130k and a M4 with the nice goodies like carbon and so cost $ 140k. Thats why I say it´s a fair price.
@@DMCarReviews M4 is more expensive. Fully loaded around 105-110k
Yes they did make it extra cool put sexy in there for extra credit
This is a nice car but M4 Comp is more fun and the C63s has that nice V8 sound (not for much longer :( ) !
Why don’t you have a Rs7 without amsr
How did you get a lot of cars…
I work directly with automakers. Here's a little more about the process: ua-cam.com/video/u2gako41O9I/v-deo.html
Why not the m550 that is a competitor aswell
M550 is bigger and softer, this is a lot closer to the M4
@@AdamS32828 530 horsepower 4250 pounds 0-60 3.6 seconds all im saying
@@eduardlast23 yeah similar numbers but the driving experience in the M550 is less track focused, you could cross shop them but it’s not a direct comparison. M550 is a better match for the S6 or S7
@@AdamS32828 agreed
@@AdamS32828 The S6 or S7 aren't competing with it. They are much closer to the 540i in terms of acceleration.
They went overboard on the piano black plastic
VW Auto Group have a tendency to do that...
Rums basically on the ground 😩
na bruh audi makes the best steering wheels and OEM rims out of any manufacturer. Im getting another Audi.
It’s ok. I prefer the bmw m5 comp.
Why is it called compétition ? I thought it was only on bmw’s
BMW also has Competition models, but they don't have a right to the name, so Audi can use it as well.
oh alr
For over 100k, the m3/m4 and c63 are much better in value tbh
Competition apenas no nome. Não vale isso tudo. Melhor ir de RS Normal.
Too much gloss, piano black interior pieces in the majority of the Audi model lineup.
These _never_ age well and in the great state of Arizona, they tend to be a safety hazard due to the reflection of the sunlight. Although, this Competition package does omit a large portion of that gloss black in favor of carbon fiber which I applaud.
Furthermore, I am personally not a fan of these new Audi gauge clusters. The current Audi and BMW model line have the ugliest gauge cluster in my humble opinion. Especially the RS mode with that odd looking dual staging tree design which animates in the opposite direction. It's awkward to say the least.
Not to mention, Audi's tend to feel more and more disconnected* the further they slip down the electronic rabbit hole. I miss the days of the B5 Bi-Turbo Audi's. They were the last of the truly mechanical Audi's before everything went full digital wizardry.
My vote still goes to the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. Great review nonetheless Miles.
Stay classy my friend.
*EDITED for misspelling.
So 3.57s 0-60 with a 0.3s 1ft rollout (as he uses) is an actual time of 3.87s. That time goes up by about a second if launch control isn't used. A stock BMW M340i xDrive does 4.0 seconds flat without a rollout, offers a real rwd platform, way more technology, and included maintenance for 40K less.
Everyone’s conditions are different. The standard RS4/RS5 is capable of a 3.3 second 0-60 check joe achilles or other journalist’s videos. The M340 is quick but this is much quicker
@@stefanomarcellino6701 I have not seen any legitimate 3.3s times. Joe Achilles uses 1ft rollout and factory cars. Look at carwow's race between the M440i Gran Coupe and the RS5. They are right beside each other. The M340i is lighter too. The M340i does a flat 12s quarter mile easy... Do proper research before bothering to reply with such incorrect information.
@@DMCarReviews @everythingspeed6.2 video shows his stock RS5 0-60 3.3 and quarter mile in 11.4 . Maybe you should do more research before trying to call someone out. The M340 is quick but the RS5 is much faster and more luxurious. M340 is good for the wife
@@layne4376 the Audi is way more luxurious and still faster 🤷♂️
@@layne4376 thats almost a full second quicker just stating facts
Pro tip, if you have your seat belt on before starting the car, we dont have to listen to the awful beeping lol
Luke 15:3-7 (KJV)
3 Then Jesus told them this parable: 4 “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ 7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
$100k for this thing? I had a 2013 RS5 V8. Waaayy better than this
Better in what way ? Other than having a V8
@@_Ambition124u rather get a v6 than a v8? 😐

very boring car audi have to do better
Bro said the Turning radius Isnt The Best ! Are BFFR literally any other car turning radius would have been larger . Any car except Subaru . Yu clearly don't know what chu talking about
