2019 Audi RS5 Sportback Review - The Swiss Army Knife of Cars

[@TheStraightPipes]

What do you think of the Audi RS5 Sportback? How excited are you for the RS6 Wagon?

[@emmetwasserman]

Did you guys like it better than the e63s or GT63s?

[@TheStraightPipes]

E63S wagon? No. Gt63s? Maybe kinda no. - Jakub

[@arturn_czyk]

I really love the Sportback design. Awesome car. I could drive this until my 2020 RS6 Avant 😍 would arrive. 😁😁 I think that having the Google Maps as a map display in the virtual cockpit, correct me if I am wrong, is just a matter of settings. I had few rental audis in the past (A4, Q5, Q7) and by default the regular maps were turned on, but I was always able to get them to display google maps. I don't think RS5 should be any different from them.

[@TheStraightPipes]

I think you’ll only get Carplay or android auto in your gauges if you have an r8 or tt that has no infotainment screen

[@rohitchowdary27]

It's okay S5 sportback is classier

[@cjc1193]

Last time you guys broke the visor on a visor test, I went out and bought the car (mk7.5 gti). Guess that means I should start rs5 shopping....

[@TheStraightPipes]

Enjoy your new RS5. You'll have to buy a Veloster Turbo in between since we also sent that one into the back seat

[@mobytech8603]

I don't know why more cars don't have a 'double' sun visor that can be deployed on both the front and side windows at the same time. (the 2nd one is a little smaller and thinner and normally sits behind the main one like the one most others ... but it still does the job when sun is off the corner and you are turning into and out of it.) I have this on my 2005 Saab.

[@famousu3delarosa967]

Nothing better than watching and reading comments and coming across this one just as they did the test 😂😂

[@boyranders]

I couldn't agree more on the handling of the RS 5. I got a chance to drive one on a track day and as a beginner it gave me so much confidence. Definitely a car that goes into my my semi-attainable dream car category.

[@chrishessel8933]

[@blakewilliams5491]

@@fridericusrex9812 Nardo grey, black rims and yellow calipers is my dream spec. Such a sexy combo

[@cytrynowy_melon6604]

Because this car is still partially bland, like most German cars. That's why grey fits. Pretentious agressivness, but at the same bland. The front looks like a bland fish from front quarter. Only Germans can make that. The only authentic German sport cars are BMW and Porsche. VW and Audi cars pretend to be something they arent, while Mercedes mixes sport and elegance in weird proportions (with the exception of amg gt).

As an Audi S4 owner, the RS5 is my dream daily driver. It has so much in one package and done like only Audi can do. I absolutely love it and hopefully in a couple years I'll have one CPO in Misano red or an exclusive color if I can find one. As usual great video guys!
