Comfortable luxury car with performance.
This vehicle is very sport with a comfortable ride. I haven't have it long enough to have any real issues in terms of reliability. The performance is good considering the gas mileage. The technology in the vehicle I was top notch when it came out. It is a good mix of performance and luxury features.

Everything you would expect.
Great ride, with plenty of power even in regular driving mode. The ability to open/close the roof at speeds of up to 25 mph is a great feature that works flawlessly! This car handles very well, and is a very easy drive. Also a surprisingly large trunk, which combined with the fold-down seats can let the car carry more than you'd expect. Comfortable ride, even when driving long distances.

The handling and ease of driving are probably the most important things to know.
The performance of my vehicle is fantastic. The handling is great and it speeds up quickly. The comfort level is high and it has been nothing but reliable.

Excellent luxury sports car.
Wonderful with the top down, most comfortable seats I have ever sat in. Amazing performance and the quattro system is better than any 4 wheel drive system I have ever driven. Great engine response with very little turbo lag. Love that the sound of the car can be changed by the press of a button.

The leather interior is beautiful with suede inserts in the doors,
This is my second Audi but not my last, it is a fast, sporty luxury car that is so much fun to drive, wherever I go people comment on what a great looking car it is. It has all the new technology and I have never had a problem with the cars. The dealership is very professional and when I have an appointment for service I am in and out in an hour. The car is not the most comfortable or fuel efficient but I was buying luxury, looks and styling, if I wanted to save on fuel I would have bought a ford.

Love the drive - go get one now!
The car is a great drive. I wish the steering would be stiffer, as it only tightens when in sport mode. The virtual cockpit is helpful to navigate NC diagnostics for the car. Overall, great car, good tech and a fun drive. The google interface could be better, but that is a software issue.

Audi s5. A better choice than all others.
There have been no issues with my Audi s5 so far, but it is only two years old. The performance and handling have been every thing I expected and more. Compared to the other compatible cars I am sure that I made the right choice. The s5 also had more cargo space than the other cars in its class. Very important when you take the car on trips.
