[417495]

11 BMW fans in here

[esca8652]

Those lights are great!!!

[jemcros]

now this is a nice car!

[ace2k222]

I dunno much about the UK but geez every video I've seen there is damp and depressing lol

[run4urmony]

they compared it to an evo or impreza???? 

[kempowarrior]

The Audi A5 is way Underpower it weight to power ration at 265hp and for it price. If I have the money I would get the Audi S5 or RS5 instead.

[Toxic600RR]

Was this car designed to have the wheel on the left? I saw the engine start/stop on the left side of the center console and I feel like that's something they should put closer to the driver.

[McPerroCali]

@Toxic600RR As a matter of fact I think the guy that's pressing the "START" button is not seating on the drivers seat =/ WTF?!

[samuh4864]

I Have A Benz Cls63 AMG But I Want Another Car Im Tired Of The Benz And My Parents Dont Want Me Driving It To School AnyMore Because Last Time Some Kid Hit My Car With A Bike And After That They Didnt Want Me DRiving It To School. So Im Going To Tell My Parents About This Car.

[teddyd2009]

@samuh4864 how about you get a job you rich prick and buy it urself

[samuh4864]

[RussianNikeGangsta]

Best Car ever *____*

[doctorcd]

its a thirsty beast

[SolarPond]

WTF, the interior in the S5 is a billion times better then BM's and Mercs interior.

[SNAZZYGOLDFISHES]

My dad just got this car, it is perfect. Very luxurious, yet still, extremely fun to drive and fast. Just perfect for the people who don't want something too showy.

[w3ll84]

right driven car suck

[mattsvantage]

My father owns this car and it's great. I'de recomend it fully. I would also say that the A5 3.0 TDi is also great but the only drawback is it does not have the same roar as the S5!

[BigUriel]

I think the 120 less hp count as a drawback too lol

[TexasMav25]

my dream car

[jumar1281]

@TexasMav25

mine too... unfortunately i'm nowhere near being able to afford one :(

[sukh126]

black looks nicer,,,but if ure thinking of getting one,,,chek out the ibis white,,that looks nice aswell 8)

[sukh126]

in england  the s5 costs £55,000fully loaded....converted into us dollars that should be around $108,000. i gt a 2009 tt 4 months go...its deep sea blue with black interior, not fully loaded tho...next year i wana get the s5 or a r8.....hope i get 1 of the,,,want the r8 more tho

[jrodertogo]

The S5 fully loaded with every option checked in the USA comes to $68000

[samsmall12]

Beautiful Car

[666demonknight666]

nice headlights but that's about it. I'd go for the RS4.

[ValentinoZamudio]

@666demonknight666 well it really comes out if your more of a sedan or coupe person both cars are audis which makes it count

[randomchampion]

i just graduated medical school and started residency - i bought a fully loaded premium plus trim S4 (need some room for some hanky panky in the back) as a gift for myself. when i finish residency, i have a job waiting for me that starts at 300k a year and over the years i can expect to make as much as 500k a year.

if ur contemplating putting in the effort to study, i'd say do it

[ryn88220]

No wonder health care is so expensive. How many uninsured lives could you help with just half your salary?

[mytws131]

blah blah blah,

the car rocks, you have sour grapes

[RickStylus]

Masterpiece!

[spddev]

A Surgeon makes between 200K and 350K with a Neurology Surgeon making between 300K to 750K (give or take).

[ilikechocolatekake]

i'll rather stay with my Honda Ridgline.

[mcuster73]

Surgeons make probably anywhere from 100,000-300,000 dollars a year, i would say two of them living together would very easily be able to buy this for their son, but it is a completely stupid idea in my opnion lol.

[claaud]

your figures are inaccurate, the range is a lot greater. also depending on what country they are in etc there are a lot of variables, i wouldn't be too quick to judge before you make an arse of yourself

[realdragon]

This costs about $246,200 SGD in Singapore , which if converted to US dollars is about $172,000 USD

unfairness -__-

[yomax0]

it's not even $100,000 in canada

[bobbylikespie]

r u fuckin kidding me i just got a brand new s5 for 54,850 us dollars nd i got the olusuf nad bang sound system and got tinted windows on it with new black rims which made the total of my car a little over 58,000 so where ur gettin this price idk cuz its beyond me

[electrikcokz]

where did you get that?

[Szalur89]

yes but i woud better live in singapore than romania were i live.300 $ salary.crap

[muyy1]

omg...... 110000usd more cant believe..... because tax>?

[jrodertogo]

comes to 68000usd.

[tamadrummer21]

can't wait for the rs5

[Stiehl313]

My 16 year old friend just got this car he doesn't even have his license yet. Its soo sick. Both his parents are surgeons

[taltigolt]

[murs720]

Im 16 also

R surgeons so rich?

[B121092]

hahahah me too im sixteen and in one year i'm gonna change my bmw z4 2007 for this wonderful car!!!!!!

[tamadrummer21]

yea, tell him he's got 3 days

[drthee]

93,210 euro for the pro line atm in the Netherlands

Manual transmission of course

i dont want no automatic transmission

allmost there, only 93,000 euro to go

[JUVEN1LL3]

good luck buddy! ;D

[B121092]

it is 75 500 usd here in mexicoo

[vezelf]

the Audi has an awfull front. Far too much bling. Have you ever looked at an Audi driver? It says it all.........

[silecune]

Who cares about 0-60 when the difference is probably within .5 seconds?

These cars are built for speed but they have more to do with luxury and class.

[enigmamonkey92]

.5 seconds is a lot actually :P

[leftstanding]

3.0 litre tdi quattro?

[Lettenbichler]

a diesel in a S model? no! - they are putting proper engines in there

[Chandy1000]

yea theres no diesel in S model

[torrancecadesigner]

I love my red 6 speed 3.2. I would have liked to have the choice of the 3.0 TDI.

[theannoyingdogpoo]

congoman775:

> 335i does 4.8??? laughable.

The test was conducted by a professional racing driver working for independent motoring press using VBOX GPS measuring devices and compensating for weather condition. It's your problem that you cannot accept reality.

> Audi is LIGHT years nicer

"Nicer" is purely subjective=irrelevant

> they clocked the s5 going 4.7

So they'd clock the much more efficient 335i even faster.

I got thumbs down. Lot's of people fail to accept reality too.

[leftstanding]

omg i love this car

[mathiastheok]

Put the Audi V10 in the RS5 and you have a car that takes a giant steaming dump on the Bentley Cont. GT.

[theannoyingdogpoo]

mathiastheok:

> and you have a car that takes a giant

> steaming dump on the Bentley Cont.

> GT.

Just like you do on your dog every single day, right?

[ermuchogusto]

this car is the top

[alittlecountry09]

i am in love with this car.

[RickStylus]

Amazing, everyone like the S5...!!!

[RickStylus]

Aaah... this is a masterpiece.

[marcelot03]

My uncle bought an S5 about 6 months ago and we have taken it out and this car is a fine machine. Tons of straight line power and world class suspension. Yeah its expensive but its Audi and you get what you pay for. I drive a new G37s and I would get smoked . The tech package on the Audi is nice too, I like it alot better than Infiniti's.

[fjones1914]

Too damn expensive

[fahadm150]

not for me :)

[DutchManticore]

Too damn fuel wasting.

I'd rather have the A5 2.0 211pk.

[CrialCrial]

Ugghhh.. So.. Nice...

[fsxpilot1]

I love the v8 at the beginning. Amazing. This is the best

[Akusguany]

Nice blue leds!

This car in black pearl is amazing but the price...the main problem of the dreams!!

[eclipsegsx765]

sorry my speakers suck. but what size V8 is in it?

[2007DBR9]

It has Audi's 4.2 V8 in it :)

Fantastic engine!!

[kok1920]

i love this car <3 yeaaaah only 140 000 $ wow xD

[artenman]

You're wrong dumbass. 50-60k

[DuvalBoy88]

way off!!! in the price range.

[HKuanpolo]

at 2:08 I thought they were going to crash!! ... european... lol

[thegoodman91]

lol me too! my heart nearly dropped :(

[arodgerson]

AHAH i was JUST about to come and comment on that and then i read yours ahah:P i know im used to the right hand side driving here in canada:P

[3picthree]

This is Audi's best looking car for sure. However, they should stick with one look on all their cars with the daytime running lights.  All of them look stupid (even the ones on this SS), except the one's they use on the 2009 A4/S4 and R8, those look hot!

[geedunk13]

I want this or a BMW 335i coup one day

[tugajjdj]

For me, this is one of the most beutifull cars ever made so far. is just... beutifull. the only bmw that can beat this in "beuty" is the serie 6/m6.

And none of the mercedes are close.

But this is just mine opinion

[TheAudiQ7]

Both different cars and mainly used for different things tbh, RS4 is more of a race car, whereas the S5 offers more luxury and space.

[skidude20814]

i cnt wait till my dad sells his Q7!! he said he might get this or a porsche 9/11

[MilitantOldLady]

this car has 1 problem....the RS4...why would you want an S5 when you can have an RS4?

[campari121]

do you really think that?^^

a s5 is faster than a a6 too

more luxus and place!!!!!!

[Hellooo20]

you did forget that this is coupe

[phille042]

you can't really compare the a5/s5 with the a4/s4/rs4. well, it's the same engines but the a5/s5 is a coupe-version of the a4. if you're after more practicality then the a4 is more for you. a5 is for you guys that want a coupe-version. s5 is in my eyes a very beautiful car. the new a4 is also a really beautiful car, but i would take the s5. right now i don't need a bigger car in my life :)

[drvids]

Why would you want the E63 AMG when you can have the CLK63 AMG... same thing.

[pittmeister]

4 doors...

[thegoodman91]

rear seats

[sspope]

RS4 has rubbish 4wd system. S5 is much better. S4 is the best of them all.

[passatski]

Sure you know what you are talking about?

I don't think so. :)

Afaik both RS4 and S5 use the torsen diff with 40-60 split, front/rear.

[Davidik50]

yeah!

Confirmed!

I like S5 more than RS4.

[conviper30]

yea you really dont know what you are talking about...ever hear of the s8? the s4 would be a barbie jeep compared to the s8...

[no1joey]

pfft. My Golf R32 keeps up with this. I know cause I raced one.

[aimanrs2]

yeah..i believe! i saw once! in town! hahaha

[zz9az0a009z]

che belle le posizioni a led il giorno

[jeremy915111]

i just love that particular sound it makes. it still has the thunderous sound of a good old american v8, mixed with the sound of futuristic cars, like a prius and a v8. its just beautiful..

[huggobear]

my dad got one!!

[theannoyingdogpoo]

Edmunds full tests: BMW 335i 0-60 4,8 0-75 7,1 Quarter mile 13,3 at 105,9 MPG 20,3 Audi S5 V8 0-60 4,9 0-75 7,4 Quarter mile 13,3 at 104,6 MPG 15,7 So the 335i is faster and way more economical, comes with AWD as well. Now which one is the true Vorsprung durch Technik?

[ethan995]

the s5, cos its got a V8, uncomparable sound, more extras, and because audis 5 series is plays in a higher class than bmws 3 series...

[Divers1ty]

s5 looks better and when your paying that much for a car that counts for something.

[aimanrs2]

Stop being book boy. great on paper doesn't mean great in real life. Drive your dad's car first kid.

[aimanrs2]

audi of course! bmw come with awd? come on audi invented awd-coupe-turbo in 1980......hands down..

[phille042]

bmw have had there x-drive for a pretty long time now. ;)

[taylorthe1st]

this is an amazimg car its amazing jw what the rs5 is?

[sjs2011]

huh, i love this car..

My 97' A4 2.6 will have to do for the time being :(

[sjs2011]

ugh i love this car..

My 97' A4 2.6 will have to do for now :(

[michaecl]

becuz 335 is a piece of crap that everyone drives?

[JLchevz]

thats the point of the a5 / s5 thats why its better i love it

[osamiii324]

i really like the audi LED lights, but doesnt bmw and mercedes have that today too?? also all audis look basically the same like everyone basically. bmws and mercedes are atleast all different in design. audis kinda good but it still doesnt have the name that bmw and mercedes do. and audi copies bmw alot.

[lilemotom]

god audis rule this planet and i love this one and the new tt and the r8 omfg merc and bmw have no chance merc limited to design they all look the same and well bmws

[marc96accord]

I beleive audi bought lambo, a stock gallardo and r8 sound alike

[billyposter]

Perfectly proportioned car- tho not as rewarding to drive as the 335, I still would take the Audi.

[Audisupercar]

Audi is best car in the world

i like the sound of audis v8

[eighty5elky]

beautiful car.... shame its a diesel v8....

good luck affording gas for that beast.... :/

[mchamp3802]

its an option in the UK. United states only has the regular fuel for the Audi's

[got100nos]

brother whoever onwnes this car does not work in a pizza place .someone who doesnt shine shoes......dnt worry some ppl are still going to drive this car even if gas goes $20 per gallon

[witekSXF]

It is not a diesel man....

[pancreas4online]

the LEDS are amazing !!

one of the most beautyfull cars i ever saw.

[xXHeatseekerXx]

you're absolutely right!!!

[reggieschuey]

why would get this car when theres an 335i and cheaper than s5

[SupremeSwagga]

Because this car looks way better than the 335i...

[smithy6375]

V8, looks, AWD

[andy55055]

because BMW sucks bigtime

[mecotterill]

Wow, I love how the voice-over is in the style of a 1980s Top Gear programme. William Woolard would be proud!

[Bjornmysta]

the uk gallon and us gallon are different too!

[blitzkrieg1110]

You know, I saw one of these and from far away, I was in awe because I thought it was an R8 because of the LED's. It just looked ridiculous.

[gilerabuzz]

17-20 mpg

are you english or american ? i think english because in the usa the gas is 3,5 times cheaper than in germany or the uk.

[legend478]

my dad has this and it goes like fukin mad

[feardis007]

Anyone know how many miles per gallon the Audi S5 is????

[agentbb007]

automatic

16 city

22 hwy

manual

14 city

21 hwy

[Mohachedachamalamo]

the LEDs look fantastic.. more cars should have this.

[xXEl9NinoXx]

german qualtity cars! audi, bmw, mecedes and porsche are one of the most popular cars of the world.. and now audi is taking over the us-market.. great times for german carbuilder

[timenater2]

I have owned three Audis, including my current A8. In the past, I would have been forced to say that BMW had a notable edge in performance (winter conditions excepted). However, with the S5, the BMW is outclassed in this category as well, saying nothing for Audi's clearly superior fit, finish and build quality over BMW's use of lesser materials.

[MichaKuschi]

probably one of the most beautiful audis ever. and its waaaay better than bmw, dont get me wrong, bmw ist good, but lately audi just beats bmw in every single test. the new audi designs are the greatest. nothing could beat that.

love that car..

[dakatone]

I agree. The design I personally like over BMW's new-found looks. Driving an Audi is a different (better in my opinion) experience as well. BMW + Refinement = Audi :)

[orbitaledy]

completly agree.. bmw is not that bmw wich one was 7-10 years ago.. now it is not bmw i think it made by some asian guy.. lol

[Canur87]

you are right, I have never driven s5. Now I have audi 2.7t s4 nice car. It is very good car for snow and everything I am living in wisconsin, where it snows a lot. But I mean that audi never cannot be bmw. Xi version of three series makes bmw more demandable than audi. I didn't mean that that s5 for is junk, it is good car but not as good as 335xi. :)

[dakatone]

That is purely your taste. I have had the privilege of driving both a BMW M3 and an Audi S4 Avant. Now that is the station wagon for Audi. I did not notice the small difference in performance (the M3 was a bit quicker on the get-go) but the S4 Avant not only provided a better ride, nicer sound and greater overall enjoyment but I could also take a few friends and our golf clubs with me. :)

[Canur87]

garbage, because this car does not make sense, That car for old guys who want to show off for cheap price. Even 335i bmw beats it. :)

[Skakkinen]

Well sometimes on cars aint the power or the competition that makes it better.Its the feeling u get when u drive such a car. And u proly never driven an Audi. As for BMW 335i beating Audi, a road or track test done in one day, doesnt make BMW better than this Audi.

[jimpodi]

what a gorgeous looking car with a menacing sounding engine. those in munich should watch out!
