  • Finding 5 things that I hated about the Audi S5 was probably the hardest bit when pulling this video together.
    I have uploaded another video called 5 things I love that was easier because there wasn't too many negatives when I look back over the lease period.
    One thing that may be worth mentioning is the lack of freedom that Audi gives you with the back in. It always felt very planted which was reassuring but also a bit of a shame when you wanted to have a bit of fun but couldn't.

    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?

    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

    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.

    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.

      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?
