Just had a little play with one of these, dunno If it was the driver or the car but crap round corners and not all that on the straights...my love for them has started to disappear!
Anyone else had similar experience?
-
I'd say crap driver. :evilgrin:
-
344bhp with Quattro?...
Driver = +1 :wink:
-
they dont really rate these S5's that highly for the handling side of thing, but id still say he should spank a GTI all around he place, unless your talking a pretty highly modded k04
-
I've had one not quite as lively as a KO4 2+ but so heavy with all the toys. Lovely noise tho.
-
Nice all round motor, but quick they're not IMO (0-100 ina round 13 secs and that's with 4WD). A Stage 1 Ko4 will pull past one with a decent driver. 1700kgs and 344bhp (worse power/weight than a E46 M3 by some margain).
-
I destroyed an S5 in my Lotus the other day...he wasn't a happy chap! They are so heavy!
-
Not really what the cars about, it's more a GT car. Still could be a bit quicker.

Very true mate.. :happy2: I'm not sying there a bad car, as they're clearly not and as a GT car/all rounder they're a bloody nice motor. But if you after a quick, inspiring, seat of your pants coupe, i'd look elsewhere..

I got banned for 3 months when I was younger and it was like havin me legs chopped off :laugh:

They are definately a looker Gaz, there is no doubt. But they are more show than go in my opinion (not that they're exactly slow of course :grin:)

I went to the launch of the A5 at my local Audi dealer a couple of years ago. I hate to say this but the 3.0 TDI felt considerably quicker than the S5. :ashamed:

they do 60 in less than 6 secs and 155mph, so not suprising they feel quick, not bad for a big fat oil burner :smiley:

Thank god for that! Everyone i told thought i was mad! :scared:
I went on the A5 launch for a day at Adlington hall as a sweetener for some trouble i had with my A3, got to take out both the S5 and 3.0TDi seperately on 1 hour test routes, V8 sounded nice but the TDi felt the quicker car by far!

Autocar have tested the new A8 4.2 TDI this week and it is officially the fastest diesel car they have ever tested (0-60 in 5.0 and 0-100 in 13.0) :surprised: :surprised: :surprised: Not bad for a 2 tonne limo..

I think my next car will be an A6 3.0 TDI Le Mans. I came very close when I bought the .:R but the heart won this time. :chicken:

I drove a Q7 4.2 V8 TDI at the same launch. My god did it tramp on but 18mpg :surprised:

I've always had a thing for the 3.0TDi after driving it on the launch, ticks so many of my requirements and doesnt sound too shabby with a milly fitted either! :wink:
-
i think i'd rather have a R36. probably not quiet as quick but i prefer them.
-
im an audi fan, but TBH i think i prefer the R36 as well
-
If we're talking S5s, I'd have a 335i or a manual E90 M3 any day.
-
S4 for me or TTRS
