That’s good that Audi included a spare tire. So many carmakers these days are doing away with them which I think is a mistake. Enjoy your new ride it looks amazing.
Congratulations man, beautiful car. I’m seriously considering the S5 for my next car, my only concern is the long term reliability since I tend to keep a car for 10+ years, rational side says I should get a Lexus but I love the look of this car.
Welcome to Audiville. I have the exact same options (all of them), Daytona Grey Pearl also 2022 but I got the S3. I wanted a smallish car after driving my Maxima for 19 years. Man what a fun car. I like all the Audis including your s5. Congratulations. Did you get the 15 speaker B&O system?
Thank you. Yes, I have the B&O system. Fortunately, mine doesn't have the issues with bass like some other people have reported. Enjoy your S3 and thanks for watching!
Yeah, that's why it had to have some new car warranty for the initial unforseen stuff. Maintenance is key and my wife's Q7 has been fantastic after 7 years so I'm hoping for the same with this car. Thanks for watching!
I am a lucky owner of the Audi A5 s-line (2019) for the last 4 months with the same gray colour and brown seats. And I am sure, my next car will be an S5 like on the video!
Thank you. I would have loved to get another wagon, but as you said, there aren't many out there. This sportback (read: hatchback) has been a nice alternative. I still think wagons are cooler, but until I can afford an RS6 Avant or E63 S, this will have to do. 😂 Thanks for watching!
Nice purchase Chris! I have a 2022 RS5 Sportback but had an S5 Sportback prior to it. Awesome cars! Funny, my passenger side door speaker just blew on mine as well (only 4k miles)...getting replaced under warranty. I can't give any recommendations on all seasons since I'm on winter tires right now (living in Toronto, Canada). However, I've heard great things about the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4's. Enjoy it in good health my friend!
Thank you! I ran the Pilot Sport A/S on my Caddy. Loved them and they are definitely on the list. That RS5 sounds sweet! Enjoy it and thanks for watching!
Chris I want to congratulate you on purchasing a beautiful automobile. I hope you have years of fun with it. But as far as tires are concerned I have a 2017 Buick regal GS and I love my Michelin sport AS 4s
Thank you! I had the Pilot Sport A/S on my Caddy and loved them. They are definitely still on the list. I appreciate the recommendation and thanks for watching!
Hi, I enjoyed your video. I like the Audi S5 Sportback a lot. Would like to pick one up next to replace our aging A6 Quattro sedan. However, my wife has her eyes on a S5 Cabriolet. We have pretty much kept Continental Extreme Contacts DWS 06 tires on our A6 Quattro. The tires are probably overkill for our Atlanta winters, but there was one snow storm about 10 years ago where they showed their worth. My wife passed many vehicles on her way home from work which couldn't make it up a hill not far from our house. The A6 is mostly driven by my wife around town although it has made more than a few long trips. The Continental's have been good tires. They are not cheap tires, but they do last a good while. Handling and stopping in both dry and wet conditions has been very good. I think there is a newer version of the tires which now provide even sharper handling. Or, if you want to maximize handling you could go to the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4's. I have heard that the Michelin's are worth the price.
Thank you for your reply. I ran the Michelin All Season 4s on my CTS wagon and loved them, so they are definitely on my list. The DWS 06s are the others that I am considering, as well. Again, I appreciate your input. Thanks for watching and Happy Holidays!
For all season tires, if you stick to the 20 inch wheels, I would recommend the MICHELIN PILOT SPORT ALL SEASON 4 tires. Or you could switch the wheels down to 19 inch, I'd get CONTINENTAL EXTREMECONTACT DWS 06 PLUS.
@@AutoAcademics For sure.. We have the Michelin pilot sport all season 4 on our '20 Subaru STI. Therefore yes, as @johnb9171 mentions, they are both excellent A/S Tires!!!
😅 Yup. Works well, too. But don't be jealous. Wireless AA runs your battery down and my car has the phonebox delete option (no wireless charging) so I have to plug it in to keep my phone from dying on long trips. Oh, well. 🤷🏾♂️
the timing chain being in the back scares me about this car...its not fun having to drop the engine to address any issues with the timing chain/guides or any leaks that might develop if you decide to keep the car for >100k miles
@@9LimaAlpha7I think it looks nice, but I'm interested in what the S5's powertrain will be. It'll likely be a hybrid like the A5 will, but I'm worried it'll lose some of its character. I'd LOVE an S5 wagon, tho. 💪🏾 Thanks for watching!
@@AutoAcademics imo and in all honesty man, i prefer the look of ur model inside out. the new one from the front is okay but the back is just "brother euhhh🤢" not a fan of the joint taillight. the inside is now all screens left right and centre a bit too much as if its a space craft, and what i disliked the most was the air vents they just make the dash a lot uglier

Yeah. No tire inflator for this car, which is rare even for Audi. Thanks for watching!
This man is underrated 💯

Thanks, Melissa! I'm just trying to catch up with you!
Congrats Chris. Enjoy your vehicle.
Thank you!
I test drove the same car. I really loved the exhaust system. The upkeep was the only thing that kept me from pulling the trigger. Great car! Congrats

It’s the same with any German car upkeep is expensive but worth it
@@victorg8105exactly, any new (used) German car will be the same upkeep

Great review. I’ve been torn between a wagon and this car. There’s definitely a shortage of wagons in the used car market.

Great review. Now get a ODBeleven and tweak some settings, to your liking.
That is on the list. 💪🏾 Thanks for the suggestion and for watching!

That carbon package makes the interior. Such a good look.

Congrats. Sorry to see the Caddy go. Wish there were more wagon options. Manufacturers definitely want to sell you an SUV.
Thanks! I do miss the wagon, but I'm loving this S5, as well. Thanks for watching!
Michelin crossclimate2 for the all season tyres for definite
I'll take a look. Thanks for the suggestion!
1:52 Wait!!! Did you say wireless AA? My B9 S4 is a little jealous!!!

@@AutoAcademics Ahh.. Well that's the caveat I wasn't expecting lol... Thanks for that tidbit of info.. 👍
Good choice
Thanks! And thanks for watching, too!
You gave the original msrp but didn’t disclose how much you actually paid for it since it’s used, kinda confused about that one.
the timing chain being in the back scares me about this car...its not fun having to drop the engine to address any issues with the timing chain/guides or any leaks that might develop if you decide to keep the car for >100k miles
I test drove the same model. I loved it but I did not buy it as I felt very separated from the driving experience
Conti DWS 06 plus for the tires
Thanks! That's another one that I've been considering.
@@AutoAcademics we love them on our vehicles. They can handle any situation
I was going to get this one also but got an X5 M50i instead. A 2020
That M50i is a BEAST. Enjoy and thanks for watching!

Wait till the repair bills start coming in on that almost 2 year old car. It wasn’t driven only on Sundays by grandma😂😂😂
These are built to be beat on, plus with a warranty the repair bills don't cost anything
