Audi S5 coupe owner reviews

“The Audi S5 Coupe may lack the steering feel favoured by keen drivers, but it’s a deeply impressive car nonetheless.”

The Audi S5 coupe is my second Audi, having had a very reliable A6 biturbo I changed to this S5. A lovely looking car that I went all out on with spec, thinking I would keep for a long time. I have had nothing but problems with it though, everything from crackling Bang and Olufsen speakers to a rattling sunroof. At 12k it had a new gearbox fitted and was off the road for 3 weeks. Current issues are a leaking headlight and crackling speakers again. The dealer has been very good in fairness but it’s at the point now I’m considering trading it in and losing a pile of money, a depressing thought because I love the car but it has constant issues that I can’t ignore.

Would you recommend the car to a friend?

No Red thumbs down
