Audi does make some of the most beautiful looking vehicles, just like BMW and Benz, but they're all unreliable endless money pits.

It's only 8 months. Come back in 8 years.

Sorry about the current issues on your car. Some punk deliberately scratched a x in my fender and it's deep in the clear coat. Hopefully Audi can buff it out.

Interesting. I bought my first BMW in 1996 and it was CPO. I've only bought CPO for Euro cars ever since because I've learned that after two or three years of leased life, the car has all the bugs worked out. All the updates, all the supplier quality TSBs, all of that is done by the time its 3 years old. So, when you go in and buy a 2020 Audi today, it will be solid as a rock.

Dude, if you live in a cold climate with bad roads and don’t have a proper set of winters that can take a bit of punishment… that seems like a rookie mistake to me.

You need to pull all seasons on. You can’t drive in the winter with summers on. Had the same problem with the drive malfunction. Audi said it’s a common issue. I just restarted it and it worked. Also had the sunroof issue. It needs extra lubricant added to the plastics and it won’t happen again.

Sorry about your troubles. Why not change to all season 275/30/20 - I believe it will fit and will better protect the rims.

I had the BMW x3 M40i and that also had some of these weird software issues. The car once throwing front collusion warnings at me even though it was an empty road. Thank God it didn't do the auto brake.

So in other words never buy a Audi by Honda or Toyota and never be stranded

[@user-bj1sh1ib2x]

Audi do make good looking cars

[@tysontheripper6896]

Thank you again for the informative and high quality videos, we appreciate it.

Stumbled on your channel and loving your b9.5 S5 content man! I have a 22 s5 sportback P+ with the same OEM CF bits and was super interesting hearing your owner experience.

I had a 21' Audi S5 like yours, but in Turbo Blue. I think it's a very well built car overall, but here are some the the minor issues I have experienced. I bought my S5 brand new and owned her for about 6 months. The first issue was how gentle the paint was. Any little rock on the highway would chip the paint. I had lots of little chips along my hood. The interior gloss plastic near the cupholders started to scratch up very easily, despite me being very careful with the car, in addition to regular cleaning. There was also some sort of dashboard - vent resonance and vibration when I was in Dynamic mode, around 4,000 rpm's. The car also didn't like heat. It uses the same intercooler as an A5. After a few consecutive acceleration runs, you could see that the performance would start to get worse, so I would suggest installing a Wagner intercooler. The gas pedal response was also not the best at times, especially with the delay off the line, although I never had any issues due to that.

[@SubjectiveFunny]

Damn, that is one good looking car!

[@TheJamilee21]

Very informative, thank you

[@TheJamilee21]

Please keep us posted. I'm currently looking to purchase this car

[@zali9657]

I appreciate you making the video on the tires. I live in a state where it's snows also. Both my friends have S4 so I was really looking into the S5 coupe or the face-lift S4. How's the car been. I heard it's reliable

[@nsphansa]

Sorry to hear about the problems. The car still looks great! Quick question -- what radar detector and dashcam combo are you using? I assuming the cylindrical object to the right of the radar detector is a dashcam. And where/how did you install it?

The random dying issue is very common and well known issue with all Audi's with the 12v (the system in the B9.5) and 48v mild hybrid system. The dealership in my area has several cars just sitting on the lot waiting for the ISG to be replaced, repair cost is about 4-7g's depending on which Audi it is. My buddy's A6 had that 3 days after new car warranty ran out, luckily he had cpo warranty. Repair took 3 weeks coz of back order on parts. Basically the starter generator fails and it causes the battery to die out as well, the car will just refuse to start after that. The advice i received when i picked up my S5 was TURN OFF the auto stop system as its a ticking time bomb.

[@ernestocarrillo1002]

The same exact thing just happened to me in my 2022 A5! I was at a light and my car just stopped and didn’t want to work. Same warning lights came on. Made me want to trade my car in!
