Upgrades from A5 to S5 never happier

I started with the A5 cabriolet had many issue free miles (aside from recall issues which Audi was fantastic on correcting) . From day one my wife said I should have spent the extra and went for the S5 , so after 7 years and 80k miles I found the car of my dreams.in Dec of 2021 I purchased a 2011 S5 prestige with only 32k. This car is a whole different animal. The supercharged 6 is powerful and responsive and it makes even going to the store into a treat . Take the top down one the music up WOW is all I think of. Buying a low mile highly optioned S5 from Audi was the only way to go. The car is the best of all worlds as long as your not taking a group for a long trip( back seat is good but let’s be honest rear seat passengers weren’t Audis market with this one.

Exceptionally reliable and good looking

I have owned this car since new, 10 years in Feb/2021. I ordered the coupe from the factory with Lava Grey exterior (custom - saw it on an R8 on the sales floor and my 15 year old son convinced me to pay the premium) and Magma red interior with the manual gearbox. I ordered it with B and O stereo, Audi Drive Select, Navigation Package, Adaptive Cruise, 19” Titanium wheels, Carbon Atlas trim and TPMS as options. I bought winter rims and do seasonal changes. My comments: The MMI is easy to use (people complain about it but I don’t get it - it’s intuitive) I have driven the car 138,000 km’s in Canadian winter and summer. Always garaged at night, usually during the day. Usually just the driver in the car and mostly highway driven, so light load. The car was maintained by a local dealer (Southgate, Edmonton) and it has been excellent. I maintained it religiously by the Audi maintenance manual (no more) unless something is broken in which case I fix it immediately. I detail it twice per year. While I had fears about Audi reliability I have replaced a hood sensor outside of regular annual maintenance and nothing else significant. The car has been extremely reliable. I have been tempted to sell this car just because of its age but I can’t bring myself to do it. I love both the interior and exterior quality and look, especially the exterior. It is quick but not blindingly fast. I just think it is a great looking coupe. I really like the V8 and the manual gearbox. It won’t ever be a collectible and while I have bought new 911’s and an R8 RWS, I just love this thing. I guess my kids will sell it some day...most don’t want the manual - maybe someday they’ll see the light.
