- Having reviewed the Audi A5 and A5 cabriolet, Howard Ritchie takes it a step further by opting to review the S5 Sportback aka the high-performance variant of Audi's A5.
Is it dynamic? Is it a driver's car? And is it exciting?

Testing Audi’s B+O system, The Sports Differential, Quattro all wheel drive and the Dynamic Steering we note that although Howard says the car is £61,000 approximately, this is due to the large number of options such as:
Driver Assistant Pack Tour
Parking Assistance Advance
Audi Assistance Pack
Panoramic Roof
B+O 3d Sound System
Dynamic Steering and more.... - Auta a dopravní prostředky
WHAT WOULD GET... IF THEY WERE THE SAME PRICE... S5 OR M4?????
I reckon a more fair comparison would be the RS4 and M4
I would get S5 anyday but m4 is compared with rs5 on it's speed and design
Finally an intelligent reviewer that understands a car in the real world and not from a lap around a race track!
Mark Travers we all know BMW better on track 🤣
exactly
u got that right! the other is V6 exhaust note, get over it
- BBC - I know you are reading this - hire this man - you know it makes sense -
"you...guyys"
i agree, these new comers have a lot to talk about cars. You are hired!
I agree 100%
I’ve had mine for 1.5 years now, fully loaded, absolutely love this car. Perfect blend of sport and practicality.
Jacob Brozenick I wanna get one how is maintenance??
I’m about to buy one (2017 Sportback) but would like to know the realistic MPG if you can help.
@@MUNKEEHANGA81 21-22mpg motorway, city around 11-12mpg and can go as low as 8mpg when flooring it
@@jakequaresma yep. I bought one. I get the same. But I drive everywhere in Dynamic S. 😂
@@MUNKEEHANGA81 looking to buy one what’s the practicality like with it
I think the authentic nature about the review is what makes this so easy to watch, it’s clear you know your cars and that confidence when you’re speaking is what separates this review from the malarkey on the new top gear cast.
This chap is the best reviewer out there, totally in tune with the real world driver. I've just ordered a VW GTE after seeing his assessment of it.
This was the best short review of the 2018 S5 I have seen. So composed. Stellar work.
A very good review by a very talented presenter, a slight similarity to Mr Clarkson! Sign him up BBC, gets my vote.
Lol
I bought one last week it is absolutely epic !!!!
Randomly came across this video whilst looking for car reviews...I am now a subscriber!
Strongly considering this over a 440i.....excellent presenter! One of the best I've seen
I purchased one of the First 2018 Audi S5's in America used with 4200 miles on it. Finally got a New 2022 S5. Love it!

Please review more sports/Performance cars in this manner. This man knows what matters
This guy is top gear material!
That was the best car review i have ever watched on youtube.
One of the best reviews I've ever seen!
Im 28 and I bought this car in the coupe variation... LOVE IT.
I had the s5 coupe in the super charge variant. Now I have kids went with the s5 sportback. Great cars your going to love it
Bloody hell this is a good review! Subscribed!
Both production and the host are brilliant....remind me of old time Top Gear !!!
Very good review.. thanks for doing it the easy way
Got mine in August 2018 and I'm loving it
Brilliant work! Keep it up!
this guy is class and I have subscribed
I came across this video through my feed and this is my second comment. As good as the S5 ably gets over the bends and turns, I loved this production more so for the overall impact it made. Especially post 4:55 the epic background score, as if watching a Ron Howard movie with Hans Zimmer doing the music, made a mark. Good effort Sir and to all your Crew and behind the scenes Team. Let them know there are lots like me, who wait to see your next production. I wish you rise to summit in everything you do, not only Auto journalism. Enjoyed, liked (sub'd already). Thank you.
Such a great review, had to watch it twice 🔥
Wow this was a great review. This host is fantastic!
Thanks for showing it in Green. I was looking at that exact set up.
This very car was for sale on autotrader 6 months ago. I told the seller about this CZcams video. He had no idea! 😂
Fantastic review, very well made video. Giving the new Top Gear a run for its money. Great stuff 👍👍
much better review than the likes of car wow or autotrader
Great review very informative.
"You end up with a car that you're gonna want".... I've been wanting one all my Life!!!!!
Subbed! Damn your review is fantastic!
Awesome review!
Brilliant review, can't wait to get mine in august
Oh just saw this.... .... what did you put on it?
HR in a Car Audi exclusive Nardo grey, black optics, full assistance, full MMI, s sport seats, full leather and a few other things
Properly pimped it.
Nardo grey. Perfect choice, mate :) You'll love it.
I hope u change ur mind.
Most definitely! Love my 2018 s5 coupe
Such crisp and clean lines only Audi does it that way..
Really epic material and real life information about this car.... Completely agree....I own an Audi and say Yes🎉
Brilliant work!
I hope the visual Predator reference at the start was deliberate...lovely stuff...
Hoping the colour of this car is Daytona Grey pearl as I’ve ordered my Black Edition A5 in that colour and the car in this review look amazing
still in love with my S5 Coupe after 2 years !
S5 or M340i?
@@gabillionaire S5 !
Dammit, this guy sold this car well.
What camera 🎥 was used for this video? I’m curious because the color is so crisp and clean 👌🏾
Great video..... completely agree 💯👍
This is such a sexy car, I can't get over it. I cannot wait to own one, within 12 months
This is one of the most underrated cars
This car is absolutely gorgeous
Great review, great car.
aswm review sir .lot like top gear ..:; waiting for next..."
I own an audi a5 right now. I will upgrade to this car one day!
I agree excellent tv reporter
Subscribed. Brilliant presenter.
i dont know if its just me but something about the British accent makes it trust worthy lol
He looks like Hugh Jackman in Swordfish. Great video.
please review the S5 Cabriolet and the rs5
Brilliant had me laughing at the end.....
i order my tt rs and i get mine in October, nardo grey with black optics and sport exhaust
MsLaserman2000 2000, ur 17😂😂😂
Bought it thanks to this dude
Favorite car. One drive and I fell in love. The red seats though.
Decent review. Can't abide the official type reviews of these sort of cars. Never gonna get a balanced review when you drive supercars one day then a hot hatch the next.
@1:18 this myth of you can only have “fun” in a rear wheel drive. Couldn’t have said it better myself. Fun at the expense of being wrapped around a tree isn’t my idea of fun either. Each to their own, and Quattro is my choice.
Exactly. Take it to the snow and we're talking 😎👌
Is it possible to lease an audi s5 sportsback, with 3k down and 520 a month?
What the???? This host sprung up on me from out of nowhere...and...i love it!!! What an amazing host. So much personality. And seems natural. I subed immediately! I gotta do more research who this guy is....fantastic.
I think Its a combination...his voice...his delivery and mid pauses...and naturally likeable countenance
Thanks Leila. And thanks for subscribing to the channel to see more of Howard Ritchie.
Laugh. You’re his wife, right?
wait so the old s5 v6 and new tts is quicker?
Wow, I can't believe I ignored this channel for so long. Sorry. I'm here now, and believe me I'm staying. ♥️
It’s good, but doesn’t it automatically up shift when in manual? I thought this was meant to be one of the annoying things about it?
4:20 It is not tesco in Germany, in fact, it is in Hungary which is weird.
Even more weird.... ha ha Well Spotted #Failed Geography
Hungarian here: made me smile :)
Drive my 2018 model year s5 for three years. No single problem at all. The lease term is ending on May 2020. It is only 30000km. I don’t know if I should buy back or switch to C43 sedan.
Just ordered a 2021 S5 technik and I'm trading in my 2018 c43 with around 30,000 km on it. Personally I think the c43 is more fun to drive a bit more throaty but I'm 40 so I'm not street racing. Figured try out the Audi S5.
His reviews are very reminiscent to the early times of Richard Hammond.
Sick!
After watching this I bought one !!! And love it !!
Still love it !
Still love it ?
Me too. And still love it too!
Had remap to 402bhp its different animal !
@Frankie Lucky it's like it breathes in then boom! Its rapid now !
4:17 Actually, the first one is in Hungary
i own the same infotainment system in my car and yes, destination input is a NIGHTMARE lol. the rest is great
Price and maybe image are two potential negatives. Id take one in a heartbeat tho!
What village is this filmed? Looks beautiful, would like to visit
4:52 Swindon
Love the car... s5 top
I've got one. I call it "The Claw"
Wise man.
How does this stack up against the C43 AMG?
osiris1309 C43 is probably a close winner.
On the S4 Avant Vs C43 estate. Just drove them both last week. C43 has turbolag and suspension feels stiffer. The interior is nice though. Settled on the S4 as delivered the torque far quicker and the car felt overall more special. S4 and S5 share same engine and cockpit interior.
I'm in the US, and I live in a small town. Having said that, the autonomous driving features are cute, and fun for a short time, but wear on you after a bit. I like to drive. And the way I like to drive requires me to pay attention...ALL OF THE TIME. So that shit got turned off right away. Also got the APR stage 1 tune, and typically get 29-34 MPG on the highway, when I'm not really enjoying that tune. The EPA rates it as 27. But Audi screwed up with the telematics module, and they are refusing to replace it. So they basically lost me as a customer.
îf only the reliability would be good as the car itself
"obviously that is Tesko in Germany "
While showing a location in Hungary 😂
Brilliant! BBC stuff indeed!
Are those the new rotor wheels?!
Yes as far as I know. But they were not an option on the sheet I noted as option.
would you buy an Audi a5 Quattro or a BMW 5?
I think a6 vs 528i is a better comparison
A M
Not in the same category
When did Lee Mack start doing car reviews?
All Audis should have the adaptive suspension as standard because the other systems are rubbish.
I have one - It is good.
Actually the rs5 has 2 turbos and the s5 has the same 3.0 v6 as the rs5 but 1 less turbo soo the s5 is a single turbo which decreases power by 100 horse power to 350 hp
Great review! but one thing...dont ever lean on the car! plz!
So there are no criticisms or areas of shortfall!?... hmm can't really take this seriously but aye - nicely edited
Noted mate.... Yes - I would say personally - the nav is not my favourite, I kind of alluded, I also mentioned the B+O in the video also as something you might not want. The 22mpg round town is less than great but prob irrelevant for a car like this on balance? Other than that, seriously... No road noise. Super soft steering, amazing handling, driving position brilliant, V Expensive... not so much if you lease. What I did also hint at was that I can't comment on what one might be like without the options I mentioned in the video, as that would make it unfair as this was loaded £63k. Thanks for note and comment on edit.
Mercedes C class or Audi A5 ??????
I would've bought it the second I had the money for it. Well I guess I spend 3 years more saving up :)
This very car is for sale on autotrader!
There's a little bit of Hammond in this guy.
61 thousand pounds? It's a lot heavier than I thought
I don’t know why automakers bother really with navigation... you just put google maps on and say wherever you wanna go and ... boom it finds the route
61,000 lb car? That's heavy!!!
£61,000 (Sterling).
That's British money. It weights from 3800 to 4200 lbs.
hahahaha...you make my day..🤣
TESCO in Hungary, even there is the country letter (H) like (GB) for GiBraltar :D
People in UK now nothing else outside UK , so don't bother explaining them , because they now fuck all..for them Budapest or Bucharest it's all the same , I know people who think they are smart having some good jobs like working at the bank ,or as managers , and when you talk to them about geografie for ex. , they have no fucking ideea about anything , so yeah ,it's just UK people 🤕
Company car tax £114.00 per month really? How did you work that work one out? I pay nearly £300 a month a an A class?
Sorry about that. Different time? Incorrect calculation?
