I’ve been looking for an RS5 but they’re so expensive when you consider the maintenance without warranty. I have had nightmares where I actually own an RS5 and the check-engine light comes on. This is still my dream car, but I think I would rather save up more $, and get lower mileage. Unfortunately this model is only getting older and they’re getting harder to find with proper maintenance records/few owners. Any RS5 owners with maintenance complaints between 40k-70k miles???? Please reply 🤙🏼

I own RS5 and I think he’s right. Not fun to drive as a B7 RS4 can be (I have that too). It’s heavy not too much torque and a bit sterile to drive. Don’t attack me , it’s true. I drive mine 50k miles already on each road. Still, it is a stunning looking car which I love to drive daily to work that’s why I keep it

Thanks for the relaxing video! How good does that older 6 speed XF transmission feel to you? Does it stay locked up most of the time or slips often with the torque converter? I'm considering a used one.
@Coldheart19033 жыл бұрын
Your review seems a little one sided. If you don’t like the way Audi RS models ride then you obviously dont know the suspension is a component of what makes this car so unique. It is a part of what makes an RS model an RS model. Get with it…

I'd agree with sobelou, but from a video point of view could I suggest that one of the most important views to show is the one from the driver's seat, looking over the bonnet and three-pointed star onto the road ahead. Lots of really good reviewers forget that to give us the watcher a feel of what they're experiencing and describing. There's no doubt we would get a far great buzz if we got to appreciate what you're seeing. I'm no expert at this, but I drove Mercedes for many years and still remember the feeling of grandeur you experenced when you're driving an old one. Other than that, I'd sling your jacket in the boot but its a great start and I look forward to more. Thanks :)

Rs5 owner here. Two problems discussed were the suspension and gearbox, the dynamic suspension optional extra on the sport pack can be avoided by not upgrading it, or now of course not buying a Rs5 without it/keep it in comfort setup. As for gearbox, best best is to adjust it in the manual setup to comfort rather than dynamic or drive using the paddles. Problems solved

What is your total cost of maintenance ?
@chubbsmasterson2 жыл бұрын
@@Goczku Generally fairly reliable but regular service needs 9l oil roughly. Big services are very pricey, changing oils in gearbox, differentials etc. Brake discs warp and very costly as they’re the same as the R8s. £1400 in UK so I bought aftermarket non wavy disc. Fuel economy is 15mpg average but that’s the cost of a V8. Also tyres are huge therefore pricey also.

@@Goczku I’ve never had to do so but definitely assume so! Timing chain on a V8, so best either get a lower mileage example or source one which has has its chain replaced. Mine only 34k miles to never need to look into it. But any jobs on the V8 are going to be expensive labour wise.

Jack of all trades is exactly why I want an RS5. My SS Camaro is a great car when you drive it like a sports car but sucks in normal traffic. My old Altima was a great every day car but was a turd trying to have fun. The RS5 seems like a perfect daily, I can relax around town in comfort mode but hit the highway in dynamic mode & let her sing!

@KingPNW. Got your weird insult!!?? Hey, all human beings are insecure about one thing or another (just like you down there trolling other viewers' comments from mummy's basement in your XXL Pampers; sending out insults to strangers). I have no insecurity about cars and zero car link to my (or anyone else's) self-worth as you speculate - cars come and go as a tool without forming real life to real people. Obviously you _do_ associate cars with _your own_ self-worth, hence you're still in the comments years after first insulting someone else and still being smug and petty. I've not commented on YT about cars, keeping extensive knowledge and my opinion to myself and especially avoiding little fools like you, but what I do appreciate is objectivity and accuracy if people want to inform others with reviews. I can also learn a lot from others, but then you would not understand all of that as you have nothing else to do to while trying to cheer yourself up as a keyboard plasti-warrior, wishing you could own the marques you brag about and be a popular human being but failing miserably. FOH troll-baby!

It’s 3.9 to 4.0 sec that is the official number mate !!! , get it right next time, if you can’t even read the brochure don’t do a Review. And I don’t think you have any real experience, and very little knowledge about what you where trying to talk about with the car ( US version of Audi RS5 ) that you where trying to do review on. And the the only car the RS5 shares similar interior specs with is the S-line B8 and B8.5 S4/S5 it dose not include the A-line up of Audi’s standard producing cars. Most everything about the S-line and RS-line is completely different from the A-line from Audi. So stop talking please thanks mate cheers !!!!
