    Need to try the sportback competition spec. I took deliver last month. It is what the RS% should have been. Emotional, precise steering, oem coilovers that actually deal with the bumps/ potholes better than original while getting rid of the bouncy rear end when pushed. In addition new hardware/ software exhaust system, (it makes a difference!) stiffer roll bars, adjusted gearbox to create quicker shift that brings the 0-60 down to 3.5 or less (as I have seen personally). It is excellent.

    The blackwings are the problems with these sedans. I would take the RS5 over the M3 better looking and a grown man’s car. M3 is a little to in your face for me

    I owned the RS5 Sportback in 2021. I’ve missed it ever since, and keep an eye on the price but it’s just too high in the UK at the minute. Mine had the flat bottomed steering wheel also, so a bit disappointing that you can’t get that anymore. What a special car. Ever time I got in it I was smiling. Much prefer the look of the RS5 over the M3 Comp.

    Phenomenal machine - picked up my 2023 RS5 coupe yesterday. The quattro system is astonishingly competent - Takes corners so fast, it is actually dangerous...a teeny bit of turbo lag & no real feel through the steering are its primary negatives. Put it in dynamic with everything using sports suspension plus DRC & save it to RS mode....& enjoy.

      I own an S5, and have temporarily got an RS5 as a courtesy car whilst it’s in getting work done to it. And I can honestly say you’re better off getting an S5, yes it may lack horsepower and all “excitement” of an RS vehicle, however it is just as capable, waaaay more comfy and even as used as a day to day vehicle decent fuel econ! If you’re doing any long distance driving certainly would choose and RS!
      I know modifying is a bit of a grey area, but to get an S5 which shares the same engine remapped for a fraction of the price really makes me think, is it worth spending the extra 15/20k on an RS….

    the audi will always fail if you put it in the same sentence as a M3 touring. M3 touring is running circles around an RS6, a car above its weight class.....RS4/RS5 cant even come close to the M3 touring. this would struggle to keep up with a 340i as the new one is quite potent. in isolation its an okay car, typical audi but when compared to the new bimmer this just comes up short rather spectacularly. your videos btw are top notch especially the environs and the camera work. ppl say the rs5 performance is much better than the non performance rs5 but then again this is an aging platform and is crying for replacement/updating.

      Platform is only 7 years old, and it was advanced to begin with 🤷‍♂️
      Plus manufacturers have stopped developing ICE-only platforms. This is likely as good as it will ever get. Granted the M4 handles better.

      The RS5 would struggle to keep up with a 340? RS5 0-60 is 3.3 seconds. 11.5 quarter mile. The 340 does 0-60 in 4.1 and 12.5 quarter mile. I know the 340 is a beast but your just exaggerating.
