Raja Ventureshield · 02-06-2009, 10:05 AM

but i thought I ask anyway.

What are you thoughts on the Audi S5 coupe?

Anyone have driven one?

Flame suit on?

Raja Ventureshield · 02-06-2009, 10:10 AM

it's on Frank...

MTrizzy · 02-06-2009, 10:18 AM

wow.... never thought I would hear this from you!!
I drove one. Not impressed, starts under steering to early...perhaps a result of the weight balance. Fit and finish are nice though, its great if you are the corporate type just looking for image, but its no sports car when the road gets curvy...keep the Porsche.

if you are really interested Rockville Audi has a 2009.

its nice to look at and the interior is better than any BMW, but it just doesnt handle very well.

something a woman would buy IMO (all looks, doesnt care about anything else)

BK · 02-06-2009, 11:03 AM

I saw not one, but two on the road the other day, one shortly after the other. Now, I realize Volkswagen Group of America (or whatever) is now HQ-ed here in Northern VA, but I don't think these were company cars. I think it was just coincidence that the first time I saw one on the road, I saw two on the same day. One was silver, one was black.

I must say, they were HOT cars. A lot of presence. From the rear, nearly Aston-Martin good looks, IMO.

super hawt car inside and out. drove an A5, feels like a boat though.. pretty sure S5 isnt any better but obviously has more power. not too high on the handling either..

r u looking for one?

Raja Ventureshield · 02-06-2009, 11:48 AM

am I looking? lol. always man. I might end up with e92 thought. Let's see how the year plays out. But I want to drive everything and get a feel for things first. s5 looks nice, but never owned an AUDI, so was curious. They def. look nice with wheels etc.

He's just talking about the B8 S4 due out this year. As for the new GLK, for some reason I love that thing

I think he meant wait for the supercharged S4 coming up instead of the heavy pig V8 S5.

wrickem · 02-06-2009, 05:23 PM

I think they are one of the most beautiful cars on the road.

I have to disagree about the interior though. I think it's very un-Audi-like. The plastic trim looks cheap. The interior of the doors in the 3 series coupe is WAY higher grade and lined with that nice felt. The Audi's map pockets like like crap. The center console is cluttered with buttons (maybe I am just used to the clean lines that i-drive gives). And did I mention that the plastic trim looks cheap?

The sound of the engine is really nice though. and the outside is beautiful to look at. When I test drove one, it was raining and it held the road like a champ.

IDreamofBimmers · 02-06-2009, 08:03 PM

it's a sexi car!!!!

The S5 always catches my eyes when I drive by one. I think it's sheetmetal is beautifully designed. And the interior design (not withstanding the quality of the pieces) is top notch.

yeah haha thats what i meant

Sniz · 02-07-2009, 06:14 PM

yup, very nice to look at, but I drove one was not impressed at all. My 335 w/ just tune smoked one, now it would be a joke. It did feel very heavy and handled poorly IMO.

It depends on what you are looking for....style or performance. If you want both you normally have to dish out some $$ as you well know.
