The S5 Audi is a great car. 3.0T has fantastic power on take off. It is very sophisticated and takes awhile to absorb and understand and use all the features/options, but given time you will love it. If used sensibly gasoline mileage is good. Of course with the cabriolet the trunk space is very limited, but if you are a 2 car household then no problem. Jun 09, 2023

Amazing ride and fantastic acceleration, I love driving this car. Passing on the highway is effortless and you get a lot of looks with the top down. I havent had to get it serviced yet so Im not sure what that runs yet.Jun 03, 2023
