great review and POV set-up!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Awesome! Sadly there are not many videos about the S5, it's a rather rare care in general to see on the streets. I'm in love with it and will also get an S5 soon. Such an awesome car! Loved the video, covered everything!
Thank you for watching! There will be more S4/S5 videos coming soon.
@@DMCarReviews Love to hear that! :D Amazing cars
Are these rare because maybe these aren’t reliable?
@@sunshadow9704 They are reliable, but they have been out since 2018!
You talk abou good low end and mid range torque/power so my question is does the power drop off in the top end? Great review!!!
Thank you! It does have pretty good top end power too, but the stock tune does start to loose some steam past 6000 rpm. It's best power is between 3000-6000 rpm. Once you tune it, it will actually short shift to get the best times, but the top end will be better😃
@@DMCarReviews interesting. that engine really does sound amazing
Could you do a bmw m850i GC next?
I've drive one, but I'll definitely film an M850i if I come across one. It drives very similar to the M550i I reviewed, just a little more tight inside, and more sporty on the handling. Performance is the same.
Currently driving a 21 A4, looking to upgrade to an s4 and an s5. Is there a substantial difference other than looks between the two?
The S4 is a little lighter and has more sporty handling. I do prefer the look of the S5 though.
If you had to choose this or a stinger which one would you get?
Both are great. I would say if you have the money go with the S5 but if you wanna save money and still have fun go with the stinger I promise both are great!!
I owned both actually! The Stinger is more aggressive and sporty, but the Audi rides better and has more refinement and a nicer sound. You can't get a new Stinger anymore, so definitely the S5. Don't forget about the M440i :)
I can only tell you what I did, they both are great but ultimately after many test drives and research I chose Stinger for a few reasons. No remote start on Audi, I like my cabin toasty or chill when I get there. In comfort mode I feel Stinger is more aggressive, in sport, even though Audi has better transmission, when you are stomping it they're pretty much same. Audi will cut off two highest gears in sport mode so you will be always on boil but your highway driving will take mpg hit. That delayed start off the line will eventually get on your nerves, no matter how much you will try to convince yourself that it is a non issue. After couple years things will start to go wrong with Germans and you will be on your own, I hope to convince Kia to use that long warranty. Entertainment system has free updates from Kia that you can flash yourself, not so much from Audi. Interior materials are a little bit worse in Stinger but I chose it for driving experience so I forgive those little details. Plus, you don't see that many on the road, so you will always be more unique, especially since they stopped making them. Gas mileage and range is complete trash on Stinger, they could've added 1-2 gallons to tank, but what can you do. M440 was a no go for me as they skipped on spare tire. Being stuck on the side of the road with cracked rim before, this is a no starter for me. After owning 3 series I just despise the new BMW digital gauges, they are counterintuitive and do not provide quick information. I may end up in next gen S5 down the road when I get Stinger out of my system, but for now I'm very happy with my decision.
@@echodotdr396I agree with some points, but the Audi does have remote start, and it's overall a much more reliable car than the Kia. The Kia has premature rotor wear, sunroof rattle, paint chipping, speaker issues, and other electronic issues and it's still a Kia. The service department is very mediocre, and you're servicing your car besides other Kia's of a much lower price. You also don't get the same high quality loaners or treatment. The S5 is overall a great performer. As far as the delay, you only feel it if you floor it, and that's on any Audi. 99% of the time you don't drive like that.
@@DMCarReviews How do these cars compare to a q50 redsport?
I hate that Audi paywalls HUD in most models. Also when is next gen S5 coming out? I was under the impression that it's very soon
Their HUD is alright, BMW's is far better. I wouldn't even bother with it. Possibly soon, but this bodystyle so far has been the best. The only thing that I really like about the Prestige beside the HUD is the ambient lighting and light animation.
@@DMCarReviews Sadly wife is used to HUDs and it has become a must have feature and I've been looking at S5 as her next car
@@ph00ny1if you want a good HUD, look at the M440i GC.
This one or BMW 540 2024?
These cars don't compete and aren't in the same class. This car would be compared with the BMW M440i GC. Now as far as the two, the 540i is of course the larger, more plush, and technological option that has a B58. Which one you get is up to your preference. The S5 is more sporty, and tight but won't give you the same levels of comfort or technology as the 540i. Can't go wrong with either!
Casually runs a red light at 16:47 lol
Out of this whole video, you had nothing better to say, lol? Sigh😮💨16:48 - still yellow after I crossed the intersection line.
It's still a yellow, I'd turn the same way wouldnt be bothering hard braking, especially when u in an S5 lol
@@DMCarReviews you couldn't even step on it, you had traffic. That doesn't qualify for red - a yellow:)
You sound like an Audi Fanboy..... Ha, so am I. Been driving them for 28 years...A4's, S4's, A6's, Q5's, SQ5's, currently looking for an S5 Cab... Wife has a 21 330i. We both hate it and will soon be replaced with an Audi.
I'm not an Audi fanboy, but I do think they make great cars
You had the a6? are you not missing it? I'm contemplating giving up on sport for comfort.... I drive an 21 a5 sb now
@@-.__.__.-Rad Absolutely loved the A6. I'm somewhat with you about giving up sport for comfort but if you opt for the A6 with a V6 there's plenty of power and the handling isn't all that bad. We're a two car family and my wife is done with the 330i and she is eyeing a plain Q5. Her previous car was a 19 A4. I could write a book on why we don't like the 330i compared to the 19 A4. I was fooled by the media 2 1/2 years ago about everyone having to go to EV's so I traded my SQ5 for a Tesla Model Y. Love the tesla because the acceleration is so addicting. Lots of bad press about EV's lately and I somewhat disagree with about 95% of it. Have had no trouble with it and have taken it on several trips in excess of 1000 miles each. Anyone thinking of an EV my advise right now would be only buy a Tesla, not because the car is so good but because their charging network is FAR SUPERIOR to any other charging network. If you're just going to use an EV locally, buy any EV. But if you want to go more than 100 miles from home it's a Tesla that wins. Anyway, getting rid of it and going back to Audi....
@@billm1526 I think the 330i is more fun to drive than an A4! I've driven 330i, and they are so fun and comfortable.
@@billm1526 Thanks for taking the time to write all this, my goal is to get into an a6 allroad... 1)It seems like you are pretty happy with the tesla, what do you miss about the audi that makes you go back? 2)What did you find much better in the A4 compared to the 330i Sorry for the extra interrogation
