one of the best reviews made with heart and pure emotions :) very rare thumbs up bro
Thank you so much for the kind words! Cheers.
Big Love from the UK. Love the review. I have just put my order in!
That shot at 1:25 is one of the nicest angles I've seen in reviews for this car. I love your camera work. Keep it up! I'm subbing and hope to see more awesome content.
The power of the IPhone 11 Pro! Thank you so much for the awesome comment. All my footage is shot with an iPhone and a GoPro 😎. Cheers.
great review. was surprised you don't have that many suscribers. keep it up and you'll get there!
Thank you so much for the kind words, it means a lot!
Absolutely one of the BEST daily drivers you can ever have seriously... I have been in LOVE with mine since the day I got it . But I'll never ride on 20s nuhuh not here . 19s in summer 18s in winter.
Nice work...thanks for posting. Test drove a certified '18 S5 couple today. Awesome car...didn't want to give it back!
I totally get it! It broke my heart to have to give the demo back to the dealership. Lol
I test drove 2 S5's as well, coming from a 16' WRX also driving my buddies 2015 Stage 2 M4 and riding in a 14' RS7 that was also stage 2 and riding in a CLS63 S AMG, into a luxury "performanceishhh" Audi It was quite a surprise, the S5 (Sportback for me) didn't look like it would feel sporty and cockpity on the inside after I got in it after looking at it from the outside but boy was I wrong, it felt even more cockpity than the S3 I sat In afterwards! a MUCH better car imo, the interior is amazinnggggggg it drives reallyyyy nice, steering is superb and the ZF 8 speed is not underwhelming either! My eye Is currently on a White S5 Sportback with red interior >_> XD hoping the 2019's comes down in price as I realllyyyyyyyy want the Black Optics package lol chrome is ugly af.
Nice review and beautiful car! Hopefully one day I can get one
Great review. I have a 2021 S5 coming this month and I’m stoked! Hope to see more content from you!
Thank you so much for the support. Congrats on your new purchase.
How you liking you s5?
I had a 2018 S5 and liked it a lot.going to get a 2020 or 21 bevy year hopefully
Loved the review, keep up the good work :)
Thank you very much!
Ok. First time watching one of your Vlogs. My heart is with GM. I've owned a 1988 Corvette Z51, a 1991 Corvette ZR1 and currently own a 2011 Cadillac CTS-V. I also love Audi. I loved my 2001 S8 and currently own a 2013 S5 cabriolet Prestige. They were/are both so fun. My little supercharged V6 really (333HP and 325 torque) comes on when you want it to but it's docile enough for my wife to drive around without fear. She doesn't even know what a supercharger is. Haha. Thanks for the Vlog. Merry Christmas! Subscribed!
Thank you so much for the comment! That’s quite an awesome car ownership history you have. It’s funny because I owned a 2001 Audi S8 about 10 years ago and eventually sold it off to my friends dad. He still drives it to this day and has clocked 400 000 kms. This car is a tank! Thanks for watching.
Nice review man!
Awesome review man love your style.. New subscriber
Thank you so much! Comments like yours really mean a lot.
getting this as my first car, can’t wait !
That’s amazing! You will not regret it. Congrats.
Did you get the car yet?The S5
Good review.. wow.. a5 sporstback.. i will buy one :)
why are you really underrated? keep up the great work :)
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Great review!
Thank you very much!
Great review keep it up
Thank you very much.
Nice review dude. Makes me even more wanting to trade my S3. Wicked looking car.
Thank you! I’ll actually be reviewing a 2018 S3 with a stage 1+ tune very soon, so keep an eye out for that one.
@@vtestdrive I might post mine first, wait till you see this black 2018 beast I have put together, will give a strong run at the S5 hands down. Red interior also by the way lol .
Awesome review
Thank you very much!
I had 1 of these for a weekend and I can truly say it's a great package. It performs well and handles well also and roomy plus comfortable but it needs to have the dual screens like the A6 and larger it will make it easier to operate while driving
I completely agree with you! I hope Audi redesigns the interior soon.
Im currently driving
2019 Mercedes E220 coupe 4matic.
Obviously it definitely not as powerful as this however i do love the Mercedes as it feels very luxurious and the interior is just wow for me.
I'm thinking of ordering a new car as i always like to change every 3 uears or so.
A new S5 sportback bkack edition is on the list however there's non available for test drive anywhere near me.
Shall i make the move, leave the Mercedes and go for the S5?
Is the 0-100 really 4.5 ??? I’ve only seen videos showing like 4.7 and up.
Great review! I’m probably going to be in the market for one of these in the next year and have a question. How does this thing do in snow? I’ve been a midsize suv driver living in Minnesota or Wisconsin my entire adult life, but since getting a Q5 in 2017 I’ve heard from fellow Audi owners that the Quattro is just as great in the snow for sedans as their Q lineup. I’d love to move out of an suv if it’s viable. Hope you’re still loving this car!
I own a 2019 Audi A4 which has Quattro. My family also own different types of Audi’s (including a Q5). The system is exactly the same and does an incredible job in very heavy and deep Canadian snow. The only major advantage to SUVs is the ground clearance, but I’ve never had a single moment when the Quattro wasn’t able to get me out of a snow bank. If you go for an S5, you will not regret it. It’ll most likely be my next car once the lease on my A4 is up! Thank you for the question and hope I helped in your decision. Cheers
@@vtestdrive thanks so much for replying! That is definitely helpful. The ground clearance is much less of a concern now that I’m a city guy living really, really close to almost everything I need in my life. I appreciate the reply and look forward to more of your content!
I live in the Chicago area where we get a decent amount of snow and have owned a 2018 S5 for the past 2 years. It's absolutely amazing in the snow--zero issues.
Great video, the S5 should have had a nice detail for the video
Great review! Does it have stock exhaust? Or this is sport exhaust resonator option?
The car was equipped with the regular stock exhaust. It sounded surprisingly good for a stock system.
This actually made me pull the trigger on a used 2019 instead of the 2020. The grill and the jog wheel on the 2019 are much nicer to me.
Totally agree with you! Congrats on the purchase.
@@vtestdrive thanks!!
@@smittyboy Price, miles, color? Im shoppin around right now, i do like the touch screen though, only downside to 2019 cus i like the look 0f 2019/18 more
@@davdez2704 I found one with 13k miles, Daytona paint, fully loaded minus the Carbon Optic Package for $49k.
Great review! I thought it has Tiptoronic transmission but is it ZF? Or ate they the same thing?
Thank you! The S5 is a 8 speed torque converted ZF transmission with tiptronics. Unless you meant s-tronic (which is a dual clutch transmission).
a montreal car reviewer? Awesome I cannot decide between the s5, rs5 and c43 as my daily montreal car through winter and summer
The S5 and C43 (which I reviewed on my channel) are quite close in comparison, but I believe the S5 is a bit better for a daily driver on our ‘’amazing’’ montreal roads! On the other hand, the RS5 is on a whole other level, and so is the price point. If you can afford one, I believe it is the better choice.
In MTL roads? Ouch we might as well look at SUVs to have a chance at saving the vehicle for a longer period of time.
All i know is that this car is beautyful.
Great review. Just ordered on from Quebec. Is the quad exhaust real or fake, can't seem to find an answer....
I couldn’t quite tell if they were completely fake… but then again, Audi is the master at fake exhaust tips! As far as look and sound, it was amazing. Thank you for the comment and enjoy your new purchase.
Hey, How come there is blacked out audi logo in front and back on S car?... I thought it only comes on RS models with Carbon package... I tried online configuration and i don't see audi logos blacked out with black optics package.
If you go on the build section on the Audi Canada site, the last column is additional equipment. Click and scroll down and you can see the option to black out the Audi badges. For the case of this car, the badges were replaced directly at the dealer before the delivery to the client. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching.
@@vtestdrive thanks so much for the info. I found out in "Audi Genuine Accessories".
I have a 2019, why did they take the heated steering wheel away?
It’s still available but as an option, and not many S5 come equipped with it from the factory. Customers prefer the flat bottom steering I guess.
I planning on upgrading to this car from a 2018 Honda Accord Sport. Any thoughts?
You’ll notice a step up in built quality and performance. The Accord is an amazing car but the Audi has that little extra I would say.
Is the car in my dream
Is that stock exhaust in the beginning?
Yes this car is equipped with the factory stock exhaust.
Would you consider the 2018 S5 Sportback for a family car (one baby) vs an Audi A4 Allroad? This seems like a more driver focussed car vs the wagon. About a $10k price difference more for the S5 used in Vancouver! Thanks
So this exact car that I reviewed is driven as a demo by one of the employees and it had a baby seat in the back. I was told that it was very comfortable and quite practical for the family. I personally LOVE the Allroad but its very numb and I don’t feel the price is justifiable. It’s more practical than the S5 but the S5 has much more character and is considerably quicker. Thank you for the support!
Having a bmw. Agree with Ur take on the touch screen they shoulda kept the knob Aswell as touchscreen... I Wanted one but 19' might be better.. Only touchscreen is a deal breaker!
I loved this car so much that i actually might overlook the terrible design choice by Audi. But in all honesty, the difference between the 2019 and 2020 is very minimal. Thank you for the comment!
For some reason, all new s5 around me don’t have flat bottom steering wheel and all black Audi badges... I’m in LA
This being a Canadian spec car might make it a bit different from the US market. As for the all blacks badges, that’s an option you can get if you custom build your S5.
From 2021 on. All cars equipped with adaptive cruise control don't have the FBSW anymore. It has to do with heatsensors in the wheel which detect your hands. Only the "regular" wheel has those.
Agree about the MMI change 100%. But in 2021 they also changed the steering wheel to a much more unattractive design!
Is one of the exhaust tip fake?
I’m not entirely sure. It looked like there were valves on each side, so I’m guessing it’s a true quad exhaust (I might be wrong).
@@vtestdrive A5 gets fake exhaust tips while the S5 maintains the quads.
They’re only fake on the TDI
hello quebec ! live in montreal with RC350 ! next car gonna be s5 or c43 !
I've never had the chance to drive an RC350 sadly, but between the S5 or C43 (i've reviewed the C43 as well), I would say the S5 is the best value.
The M340i is on the top of my list but I am having a hard time finding a BMW dealer who will associate with me. Hopefully I will be able to get my hands on one soon enough.
The torque is at 3200???
No, I was completely off (research issue). The official figures are 369 lb-ft @ 1370rpm. I can’t believe I messed that up! Thank you very much for bringing it to my attention.
He says that screen is distracting. Clearly, he has never been inside a tesla...
It sucks they don’t offer that steering wheel anymore. I’d much rather have a flat bottom than a heated steering wheel. Plus, no S floor mats? I had an S3 and it came with two sets of mats. One regular and one S3.
I’m thinking of going back to Audi from an M2 Competition, but I don’t like a few of their recent changes
Great car, the only problem is the old interior design, dont match the cool outside look, the new 3 screen design on a6 and a7 will be great if its here
I can't believe he called an Audi S5 a sleeper car
CALINE DE BEAN! NICE CAR.
Best comment ever!!! Thank you 😂
Mtl stand up 👌🏿
this car is absolutely perfect.I would sell my wife for this car. (god forbid she finds this comment)
Audi failed big time not offering the flat bottom steering wheel - heated.
I was told by the audi representative that it’s because they can’t make the heating elements work with a flat bottom design. I wonder how much of that statement is true… lol
The touchscreen looks stupid. Like a stuck on iPad. Didn’t they learn from Mercedes that this was a mistake!!!! Merc removed it
I really hope Audi wakes up and does the same! I have the 2019 A4 with the jog wheel and it is so much better/more intuitive. Thank you for the comment.
SportSback!!lmao
Damn my Eastern European accent is brutal sometimes, haha. 🤣
@@vtestdrive No S stands for S line!!😂
Not anymore!!. It needs a stronger engine (more horsepower). The competition is much better. The 2021 BMW M340i is faster (382 hp). Even the BMW suv X3 M40i is faster than the S5. Granted, the Audi has a better design. But in terms of performance and exhilaration behind the wheel, the S5 falls behind.
0-60 in 4.2 and extreme handling? I seriously doubt the BMW can keep up. I haven't driven a M340 but I rarely give BMW a chance. 🤷🏽🤷🏽
@@cliffpostell508 I’ve driven both of them and I own a 2021 S5. The M340i not only can keep up with the Audi, it actually leaves the Audi behind. More HP and more torque. Numbers don’t lie. I love both cards. Got the Audi because it got the performance and looks way better than the Bimmer
@@Ratodemiami How does it stack up against an RS5?
@@cliffpostell508 the RS5 is a different beast. Its price and the specs numbers are in another level, 444HP and 442 lb-ft of torque. 0 to 60 in less than 4 seconds…… those are M3/M4 numbers.
Too heavy. s4 >s5 sportback>s5
Absolutely agree. Gave back my leased 2018 B9 Audi s4 two months ago that car was great. Leased a 2021 B9.5 Audi s5 sportback. To say that I am disappointed is an understatement. The car feels slower and doesn’t sound nearly as good as the B9 S4
B9 S4 is my next car hands down! I really enjoyed the S5 but the S4 is soooo underrated and a much better balanced vehicles. Cheers!
That infotainment system is terrible.
I completely agree with you!
Please do not use God’s name in vain to curse to express disgust, that is blasphemy against God.
God doesn't exist, you're delusional
