2009 Audi S5.. 6 Month Review (DO I Hate It??)

[@trandanh2866]

basically nothing wrong with the car, you just got screwed by the last owner

[@gabemurillo5216]

not gonna lie i was salty af when he said its supposed to be quiet for a luxury vehicle.... its a v8 luxury coupe, if you want quiet buy the A series

[@mntwofiveohh3787]

Gabe Murillo when i meant quiet i meant cabin noise from like wind and road noise. Id never down a car for a good engine note. Though the exhaust is fairly quiet (stock)

@@mntwofiveohh3787 oh ok that makes I'll eat my words and say I didn't know wat u meant thanks for clearing that up. Good video tho

[@fre760]

Mntwofiveohh road noise has a lot to do with the tires. They are low profile tires on 19s the noise is always going to be hard to mitigate

[@ratman19731]

@@mntwofiveohh3787 the pilots are known to be a louder tire. Do your research and find the tire that meets your expectations. I track my S5 so I don't mind a little excessive road noise , for superior grip. That being said my 2011 S5 has a very quite cabin. If you fix the leak in the window that would help. I like mine loud. Cranking the B&O stereo . Opening the valves on the Armytrix exhuast, and hearing that V8 scream. 🤤

To anyone reading this... if you buy a performance vehicle like this... GET A WARRANTY with very good coverage. If one is not available, don’t buy it unless you can afford to pay the value in amount of repairs over about 7 years! When it comes to tires, also get a warranty when you but new ones.

[@rocagt05]

Thank you. Im considering buying a 2009 but thats exactly my concern. Warranty is not available

[@Jagerhund]

Warrany is always a gamble. Insurance companies sell warranties to make money. The odds are in their favor. This is how they make profit and why they so aggressively sell warranties. If a major malfunction will break the bank, by all means, get the warranty. Just remember that statistically, you will generally lose on the deal.

[@mntwofiveohh3787]

Ended up coming in handy on that car. Havent had to use it yet on my 2018 s5 yet

[@JohnnyGTR34]

I’d highly recommend, if you still have your car, to learn to do a bit of wrenching. Factory service documents can be found on ErWin, I downloaded everything for my 2010 S5 yesterday. Owning any VW product will always leave you with some sort of expensive surprise unless you fix it yourself. 3rd party warranties are great but often times a lot of shops will not do quality work. Either way it’s a very unique car, keep it out of the salt and take care of it because these aren’t always going to be around!

[@mntwofiveohh3787]

Ill need to get myself some manuals. I have worked on Japanese cars in the past but nothing with this complexe

[@JohnnyGTR34]

Mntwofiveohh I can send you a zip of the Erwin stuff I have on mine. Everything is the same except mine is a manual trans. Images are very clear and tq specs are all there since it’s straight from Audi! I highly recommend ErWin after using. I paid almost $200 for the Bentley manual for my golf and it didn’t always have everything. If there’s anything else you needed from ErWin, it’s about 40 bucks for all you can download in 24hrs. An rs5 forum had a great topic on this 👍

[@mntwofiveohh3787]

That would be awesome!

[@kenshinplace]

Find yourself a good independant garage. Audi dealerships are notorious for charging huge amounts of money for the time they put on cars. If your car was new, it would be worth it to keep a better value when you would want to sell it again, but it's not worth it for a 2009. I'm considering buying a B8.5 S5 in the next couple years, but I would never bring it to Audi for maintenance

[@mntwofiveohh3787]

They 3.0 is so much cheaper to make power with. I looked into supercharging my 4.2 . Around $12-14 thousand. 😥 The V8 just sounds so good though , with an aftermarket exhaust.

More about the driving of the car, engine sound and maybe some footage of driving the car(outside view) Few stats, common issues, costs like carbon clean that u have to do every few thoused miles. Lots of minor stuff that makes the videos waaaay better for someone that's already in to the car and knows a bit about it and just wants to know what it's really like to own one. Maybe mpg and if this is a car you would take out during night and just go out for a drive, if it's that special or just a a5 with a v8.
