2011 Audi S5 consumer reviews

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.

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.

you can use this car as a weekend car or daily driver this car meets all purposes unless you have kids other than that this car is perfect for anything in snow this is the best

This car is as fast as my 911 more comfortable to drive daily, there were so many times I would be on the freeway and look at my speed and go " oh s.." as I was going 90mph or near it and have to slow down. The ride, lack of road noise, makes the car smooth smooth. With the AWD it hugs the turns with out any problems.

I've got 285K, since new, best car by far, totally reliable and very happy in the snow and rain. Keep the injectors cleaned once every two years, sounds and runs better than BMW's period.

This car is fabulous. It's fun and sporty, but luxurious and well appointed. Would recommend over and over again. Only downside is the low gas mileage.

I have driven a lot of nice luxury sports cars and this Audi S5 is the best combination of all of the aspects style, performance and luxury within my reach. I love this car and the way it looks, handles and accelerates!

Not only gorgeous to look at but an absolute pleasure to drive. To drive it is to love it. A great value with lots of bells and whistles. Amenities everywhere you look.

This car definitely meets all of my needs. I absolutely love the interior of this car and the comfort. It is super easy to drive and a lot of fun to drive

I have owned 13 cars. The most notable 4 being this Audi S5, a 2010 Nissan GTR, a 2013 Porsche 981S (Boxster/Cayman S), and a 2013 BMW Z4 sDrive35i. The S5 has a JHM tune for 375hp, the GTR was tuned for 700hp, the Porsche was stock at 315hp, and the BMW tuned for 425hp. Needless to say, all 4 of these cars were smoking fast. However, I must say that the S5 is the best all around athlete. It is not the fastest (GTR and BMW faster), but it is plenty quick enough. It doesn't handle like the Porsche, but it handles VERY well (I've got upgraded sway bar and end links plus the Sports Differential package). It gets more looks and complements than any of the other cars. It's exhaust is invigorating. And the interior is extremely classy. I like this car more than any car I've owned. You can't beat it's all around performance, looks, reliability, and luxury.
