In the Garage This Week - Audi S5



The GT-R has left the building and the Audi S5 is here for a week to play with. Haven't had a chance to put real miles behind the wheel, but I already have a complaint. The "moonroof" is exactly that. Just a roof. It doesn't open. All you can do with it is tilt is so some air can flow in. I would delete this thing and have less weight sitting at the top of the car instead. Anyways, a full review coming soon.

A little glass ontop of a 4000lb sled isnt going to hurt nothing.

Good luck with it.

This car is like a water drop with the BMW 335i coupe, they share 99% of the looks except the lights and front grill.

I love the interior, it is one of the nicest interiors out there. Top gear BBC did a great comparo on a race track agaisnt the 335i..

But it does raise the CG, which will hamper cornering performance.

Believe me Carlos, the A5 looks $25k more expensive than the 3-Series Coupe. The thing is drop dead gorgeous, but you will find out when you see one in the flesh.
