    WONT BE DISPOINTED.

    Holy crap....2014 S5 auto very addicting and makes u smile the entire time ur driving. Very quick around town roads. The launch control is remarkable as I never have been beat from cars with more horsepower from a dig. My car ran to 60mph stock and with 105000 miles in 4.6 seconds and 1/4 was 13.1 at 105 mph this was tested my a speed tester box. Weekness is anything over 70 mph to the floor not as quick feeling. Also top end before speed limiter came on was 159. Car will do 175 if removed.

    Great mid level German sports car

    Purchased my 2014 S5 Cabriolet a couple of years back as a weekend cruiser. Really nice driving car, great exterior styling and interior finish. Engine is quick enough to have fun and honestly think the engine can outperform the handling of the car so any additional power would be wasted in its stock configuration. No complaints so far.

    Beautiful Car! Fun To Drive! Turns Heads!

    This is by far the nicest car I've ever owned! Ride quality is unmatched, I test drove other high end convertibles prior to buying this car and the Audi S5 was THE BEST by far! Looks, ride, power, traction, comfort, trunk room, features. This car does not disappoint!!!

    I was looking for a car with style and performance at a reasonable price. I chose the S5 for all these reasons and I am not disapointed.

    Sports Car Meets Luxury Sedan

    Incredible performance with all the creature comforts you'd expect. The Bang and Olufsen sound system is the best car audio I've ever heard. This car is like a cross between my old Jaguar and Porsche...it delivers everything you'd want from a sporty convertible.

    This is not any ordinary car. This is a very sporty, fast and sleek vehicle. For many, the stick shift design and speed is a must! Love this car.

    Great performance,. expensive, reliability was onl

    I had an S5 convertible. The performance and handling were exceptional. The check engine light went on a number of times and a trip to the dealer was necessary because the fuel mixture would go out of the accepted priorities. Winter was a problem because it came with "summer tires" standard without a no charge option for all season tires, (in the Northeast?) Also after a snowfall or icy conditions the windows would not seal properly until the car was totally warmed up and in sunshine.

    Most exciting car I have driven

    The car performance is awesome for a 6 cyl. The handling and comfort is great. Have avg 25 or better gas mileage. Very reliable and maintenance free. Audi did all the maintenance on this car and always treated me well. The Misano Red is so beautiful to look at. Always got compliments on the car.
