VERY BAD TRANSMISSION
Nice car inside out, powerful engine, nice handling, the transmission trashed the car and all the good work. Be aware the transmission performance deteriorates with time, feels like a torque converter slip, lag in shifts, and unnecessary upshift, slow shifter as well. Navigation lacks street names - stereo keeps going to default settings - gas mileage not close to promised due to transmission - excessive brakes dust - voice command was better in the 2017 s5 - rear cupholder useless- transmission can be reset and then few weeks later gradually same issue. Anyone that reviewed the car drove it like a race car where its hard to notice - car drives awful on a stop and go especially when the auto engine shutoff keeps turning the motor off and then you have 3k RPM takeoff to keep up with a minivan, driving normal is very frustrating - Very SAD

Great road car and fun to drive
Beautifully styled. Solid build with plenty of technology and amenities. But, the bottom line is that this car is fun to drive, safe and confidence inspiring. Happy, happy, happy!

Most fun car I owned. Superb!
Fun car, super responsive, fast, tons of power , elegant, designed very well as a driving machine with great look in mind. My red seats are gorgeous, and the engine power is unmatched. I owned near 100 cars in my lifetime, and this is my baby! I simply love it.

Excellent Car
Car met my performance and comfort needs. Style and ride between normal and dynamic is excellent. Kicking into Sports mode gives an excellent kick for when needed (even though the normal drive mode is just fine). Gas per Gallon is the only downside... lower than expected.

Great balance between Convenience/Performance/Look
I was looking for a car with good balance of performance, convenience and with a sporty look. Took me a while to find something that ticked all the boxes but then I found the S5 Sportback. A coupe style 4 door with a trunk large enough to accommodate suitcases and even a full size bike (with the rear seat lowered). I can easily fit two car seats in the back without having my kids kick my seat (i'm 5"10). Not a cheap car for sure but a great mix for those of us who prefer the look and feel of a sedan/coupe instead of a mid-size SUV. (I put Reliability as 3*** as time will tell...)

Fantastic performance
This car's performance is exhilarating and the technology is amazing. The ride is smooth like a larger vehicle. Having had it a month I would do it all over again.

Stunning Inside & Out!
Love my new 2018 S5 - couldn't be happier! Love the responsive handling - so fun to drive! The attention to detail inside is awesome: beautiful magma red leather seats, carbon fiber inlays, Bang & Olufson Sound System. Everything is where you would expect it to be very intuitive. Kudos Audi!
