I really love the Sportback design. Awesome car. I could drive this until my 2020 RS6 Avant 😍 would arrive. 😁😁 I think that having the Google Maps as a map display in the virtual cockpit, correct me if I am wrong, is just a matter of settings. I had few rental audis in the past (A4, Q5, Q7) and by default the regular maps were turned on, but I was always able to get them to display google maps. I don't think RS5 should be any different from them.
I couldn't agree more on the handling of the RS 5. I got a chance to drive one on a track day and as a beginner it gave me so much confidence. Definitely a car that goes into my my semi-attainable dream car category.
Because this car is still partially bland, like most German cars. That's why grey fits. Pretentious agressivness, but at the same bland. The front looks like a bland fish from front quarter. Only Germans can make that. The only authentic German sport cars are BMW and Porsche. VW and Audi cars pretend to be something they arent, while Mercedes mixes sport and elegance in weird proportions (with the exception of amg gt).
I literally bought my 2019 Carbon Fiber package RS5 based off of your review guys! And I love it! Handles great, scares the crap out of M drivers! And I get tons of thumbs up when I drive around. Thanks for all you do!
You guys have nailed it again. Very thorough review of the car hitting all the key points but with a special focus on HOW THE CAR DRIVES. Well done! And you make it very entertaining and real. Thank you!
I don't know why more cars don't have a 'double' sun visor that can be deployed on both the front and side windows at the same time. (the 2nd one is a little smaller and thinner and normally sits behind the main one like the one most others ... but it still does the job when sun is off the corner and you are turning into and out of it.) I have this on my 2005 Saab.
I've watched this video like a hundred times and I still enjoy how much you guys loved this car! Best Audi RS5 Sportback video on UA-cam, including your new RS5 video, this one is Tops!
As an Audi S4 owner, the RS5 is my dream daily driver. It has so much in one package and done like only Audi can do. I absolutely love it and hopefully in a couple years I'll have one CPO in Misano red or an exclusive color if I can find one. As usual great video guys!
ANDRE, I found it funny because i don’t think that one car is more obnoxious than the other. They are both equally a bit obnoxious. This blow agains the c43 c63 came out of nowhere.
Recently got a chance to get behind the wheel of the rs5 coupe, and it was such an emotional experience. The car is beautiful. Much more low slung and wide than it seems to be in the pictures. And the performance, the 0-100 kph just snaps your neck.
I may be the only one, but I love this Audi MMI version compared to the new one. The scroll wheel is super easy to use and no disgusting fingerprints everywhere. It gets the job done very well.
@thestraightpipes The flying visor and R8 paddles clip made my day. Awesome review, you guys are really getting better and better every day. For the year end holiday season I'd love to see you do a longer video that covers the "best of" with categories like most fun, what's you'd buy with your money, etc.
Have to agree with the s5 sportback being the best looking model in their line up. Also, i really like the stock 5 spokes on the a5 sportback, i feel like this car looks so good with smaller wheels and a bigger tire wall. Great review as always!
I came here to watch this review because I came across this car at a local Toyota dealer selling a blue Audi RS5 Quatro 2019 AWD with 35k miles on it for $39k and after watching this review I’m on my way to buy it , great review 👍 you guys Rock.
you guys literally have the best edits for any car channel.... literally idk why you guys arent famous by now... like I EVEN SHOWED ALL MY FREINDS THIS CHANNEL UGHHHHHHHHHH
Really good review guys, you guys brought bad the classic Straight Pipes review that I’ve been missing. It was a very light hearted video of you guys having fun
Actually not enough trunk space. We never got along with anything that is not an suv or wagon/estate just because of that. So as a dad better go for the rs4/rs6 if you also want to travel somewhere from time to time
There are some deals on these at the end of the year. I'm debating this (nicer seats, traffic jam assist in southern California) vs M4 (has heads up display, more playful, looks a bit meaner)... and then there's still used AMG GTs...
As someone who lives in an apartment complex with underground parking, an integrated garage door opener was something I initially thought was a tech gimmick when I bought my car but is now a must have for future car purchases. I own a 2015 Hyundai Elantra though (I like my car a lot, but it's no RS5).
I concur with those sentiments captain. B7 RS4 AVANT fitted with AGR S3 Supercharger kit. Best Audi hands down. Well that was up UNTIL i drove the RS6 Avant and now im a very conflicted human being. Cant a man have both?
I literally asked if you guys could do a review on this and you guys did, I’m most definitely subscribing to your channel now. Thank you boys for reviewing my next car. I’m have an 08 Audi A4 2.0 Quattro T and I love my car, so I decided my next vehicle will be this Audi RS5.
You failed to mention BMW 440i gran coupe!!! I own a 335xi gran coupe and it’s the same but less HP. Bought it because I’m a family man and needed that awesome hatch for jogging stroller golf clubs etc and four doors. Didn’t want an suv. I can’t find it’s limit on corners yet like you said since it’s so wide. Bought I single owner lease turn in. Love itttt
'Bouncy' dampers are underdamped, meaning that there is more than one oscillation from initial input displacement to equilibrium state. Critically damped would be just initial displacement and return to equilibrium, while 'overdamped' also would be initial displacement and return to equilibrium, but it takes longer to return to equilibrium, and the suspension would feel overly stiff.
20:32 the "weird cubby thing" is for your key fob, more comfortable than in your pocket. This car is so sweet, I got to drive the S5 with only 300 HP I can't imagine the 444 HP of this beast. The RS 6 Avant will compete with the E 63 S wagon, thank you Audi.
Comment at 8:45 is funny- I went from a stock Toyota 86 to a scat pack widebody, the power was easy to manage lol…the throttle response was what took forever to get used to tho.
As an owner of a 2019 RS5 and a 2021 RS7, I have to say I like the old infotainment better. The RS5 is so damn fun, super fun on back country roads and functional around town and on long road trips. Great car!!
BTW "QUATTRO" on the front references Quattro GmbH, not AWD. Quattro GmbH is the subsidiary that made RS vehicles which has since been renamed to Audi Sport. That's why it appears on all of the RS models but not S/A models, even if they have AWD.
What do you think of the Audi RS5 Sportback? How excited are you for the RS6 Wagon?
Did you guys like it better than the e63s or GT63s?
E63S wagon? No. Gt63s? Maybe kinda no. - Jakub
I really love the Sportback design. Awesome car.

I think you’ll only get Carplay or android auto in your gauges if you have an r8 or tt that has no infotainment screen
It's okay
S5 sportback is classier
Last time you guys broke the visor on a visor test, I went out and bought the car (mk7.5 gti). Guess that means I should start rs5 shopping....
Enjoy your new RS5. You'll have to buy a Veloster Turbo in between since we also sent that one into the back seat

This car makes grey look so good
I'd say second after mercedes matte grey.

The visor test literally passed with flying colors😂
Nice car tho love the color!
I'm watching this again a year later and you've genuinely made my day after watching the visor test.
You guys have nailed it again. Very thorough review of the car hitting all the key points but with a special focus on HOW THE CAR DRIVES. Well done! And you make it very entertaining and real. Thank you!
1000% visor pass I guess
it covered even the rear window
Visor overdrive i guess

That was the funniest visor test I have ever seen with you guys! I literally fell over laughing! 😂😂😂
Same lmao so unexpected

I actually put the A5 wheels on my S5. Funny how I seen this because I thought the same thing.
Alright guys, I’ve been watching your channel for a few years now and this was the most entertaining and funny episode yet. You’ve outdone yourselves.
Right on
I will be test-driving this beast next Monday. This video came in right on time! Thanks, Yuri, Jacob, and The Straight Pipes crew!

I saw so many reviews of this car awhile ago yet I still watch your entire video, it's because of you guys.
Do u remember when jakub broke the visor in the golf gti.😂
Thank you soo much, for finally driving one of my dream rides...
The visor test TOOK ME OUT!!!😂😂
That small slot by volume knob is for the key fob... it amazes me the number of auto reviewers who don't know that.... good videos guys
This machine looks GREAT from any angle. It is gorgeous.
Really good review guys, you guys brought bad the classic Straight Pipes review that I’ve been missing. It was a very light hearted video of you guys having fun
Ok that's officially the best visor test ever
RS5 is an absolute beast of a car. I love driving mine, perfect balance of comfort and sportiness.
I see you on Audizine/Audiworld. The RS5 reviewed above looks exactly like mine.
The RS5 Sportback is so cool!
It’s a good dad vehicle
BASITH PH lol what??
Actually not enough trunk space. We never got along with anything that is not an suv or wagon/estate just because of that. So as a dad better go for the rs4/rs6 if you also want to travel somewhere from time to time
Lol - my dad is actually interested in buying this car...haha!
It has a good amount of space for sure.
Love these cars. Look so elegant yet sporty 😎
And they’re fast af, which is a nice bonus I guess 😄
Great video. Way to GTI that visor, Yuri! Good distance, 10/10.
This channel is gonna go crazy when you guys hit 1mill 🤞🏾waiting on it
I got my stinger because I couldn't afford this 😂
Colin Peak I kinda like the Stinger better.
Haha! I did the same, on top of that... Insurance is so much cheaper.
Plus that big Korean warranty.
That's still pretty awesome
That’s still a lovely car tho
This is my favorite sports car at the moment. Just wish I had about 90k

Can't wait to see you guys do the RS6 avant when it gets to North America!
Great review! Amazing content, keep up the good work. And by the way, I can never ever ignore any of your videos. I love it!
100% agree about the dynamic suspension, way too bouncy. The old RS5 dynamic setting was much better. But the new RS is better in every other way.

This was probably one of the best intros ever
I generally really enjoy the pops and crackles of the DSG shifts / antilag, but this has the most epic case of shift-farting I've ever heard.
Why does it specifically have 444hp just like the BMW m3 444hp.
In metric units, so PS, its exactly 450. So thats why
In reality it probably has 460hp
