Sensor noise is required by law unfortunately. We had a rental S5 sedan sportback last year and we took a 300 mile trip and averaged 31mpg on the highway averaging 72~ish mph. Very impressed given the size and power. It was a really nice ride and nice enough that it's at the top of my list for later this year when my Tesla Model 3 lease expires.
Is the law the same in the UK do you know? Yeah its not bad MPG, I think I averaged around 25 MPG throughout the whole ownership. What is the Tesla like to live with?
Its best to use your door mirrors, in the main, to reverse, simply because the door mirrors obviously show you the view of the outside of the car, IE: the bit that's going to get damaged if you hit something. Use the rear view mirror as well but it shouldn't be your main reversing mirror, therefore the tints shouldn't be an issue. I drive an S Line A5 with rear tints as standard, I hardly notice them when I reverse.
Ohhhh, I've just seen your other comment and understand now. I didn't know you meant the exact same car! The person who had it after me must have abused it. Probably best not to go for it. Did you enjoy the drive?
@@macswhips drove like a beast They hid the service history and told me it had one owner from new. When I looked at the paperwork there was 3 owners and no SH prior 2020. I ended up getting an immaculate unmolested 435d while I wait for my new car
B9 S5 with a twin turbo?!?!?!?!?!?!? that doesn't make sense. At least here in the US the only engine option in the S5 is a single turbo 3.0T and the RS5 is a twin turbo. Unless he meant twin scroll, which it has.
Bro you have no idea about cars, previous s5 is 3.0tfsi with supercharger, and this one is not bi-turbo! Its single turbo. Dont make cars reviews if your are incompetent!
Thanks for the clarity. You are correct. I meant the previous previous version when talking about the 4.2 V8. As for the Bi-Turbo comment, you again correct. A simple slip of the tongue. I'd been filming all day so I put the mistake down to being tired. As for the incompetent comment, calm down mate, it's only a UA-cam video I made for fun. No need to be harsh. Have a good one.
@@macswhips yep, I plan to keep it a while. Unless I get tired of the dealership trips to keep fixing little things... ( Rattles, weird startup engine noise, and now the welcome light on the driver side stopped working lol)
@@Vali615 that many issues ???? How does a $60,000 car have so many issues with it? I have a wrx and haven’t had any problems and that thing costs $20,000. Also how do you get almost 50% of the rated mpg? Because my wrx is rated 19/25 and I rip that car and I still average 22mpg over the past 2000 miles which obviously includes some highway driving trips
Sorry for the slow reply, this was hidden in my comment section for some reason. Do you have the 3L V6 or did you have the 4.2L V8? And do you still have it? Did you get everything fixed?

24 mpg for a v6 driven in dynamic mostly is actually really really good.
The previous was a 3.0 supercharged.
The only thing I hate is the turbo lag. This ea839 has crazy turbo lag even in dynamic +sport mode
I've never driven the previous version unfortunately. Have you driven one of the original V8's?
Such a great driver....keeping your hands on the wheel will make you safer buddy.
Noted! I will heed your advice

You sound like my Dad Tim! I'm a better reverser than him as well!
@@macswhips :-) Behave yourself young man lol
Haha spot on!
I test drove this car today the exact reg of this car at Marshalls
I found melted crayons in the armrest, I did not buy it

At 03:40 you have check engine light?
I do but it was just because I had just turned the ignition on. It goes of once I start the engine!
Is there no sunroof on your S5? I wish I could find without one
No, no sunroof on mine. I wasn't that interested when I spec'd it. Are you not bothered about a sunroof either?

You’re absolutely right. Didn’t mean to say twin turbo!
At least you admit that your an aggressive driver
You were pretty aggressive when you attacked my Dad's car 👀
You are able to turn off the parking noise
I know but they come back on every time you start the thing up! Permanent 'off' would be useful.
@@macswhipsTrue, but you can make the noise softer so it isn’t so loud when the sensors trigger.

24.1mpg sounds to good to be true, I drive grandpa style and get ~19mpg highway and ~12mpg city...
My Grandad must be slower than yours! Have you still got the S5?

I get an average on motorway of 38.9 mph and I've had it upto 44 mph but in the city I average 29mpg and I'm not conservative with it
