The BMW attracts a lot of attention lately... people speak of the BMW... The Audi is more tempered, more soothing.

Completely get how he felt the RS5 felt more stable at high speed, it’s something I have always noticed that separates RS Audis from M BMWs, very Beemer I have had would wander as if the rubber size was too wide for the rims and this continues with my current M5. I hate how fanboys have to say their brand is better than the other, these are two completely different animals and yet their respective performance figures aren’t a million miles apart, simply choose which appeals to you most... what could be simpler.

[@Mano-k7c]

Now you my guy are a true Car Guy

[@gw7624]

FWD platforms as a whole are more 'stable' at speed due to the front wheels' tendency to straighten when power is applied. Having said that, my E92, which has a proper 50:50 balance unlike the front-bias of modern BMWs, has never once 'wandered' at speed. Sounds like your M5 may have an underlying issue.

[@Luminated67]

@@gw7624 my first M car was an E92 M3 and yes it too would move about a little bit on motorways. The M5 is the current model so AWD it’s the least affected of all.

Moved from BMW to the Audi RS5 Sportback due a great deal to your reviews...

[@stefanmolnar4345]

RS5 sportback for me in nardo grey or dark blue. I dont care how good drives the BMW the audi is beautifull, comfy sporty enought. The lights on the Audi are next level. If you want the best driving car in this segment get the giulia QV its a true RWD sport sedan and its much cheaper than the M3/M4. For every day get the RS5 or RS5 sportback.

[@alanincentraljersey]

This week, I bought the RS5 Sportback with the DRC and Carbon Packages. Your review is spot on and I’m thrilled with my decision.

[@stealthhtm23]

how is the DRC? I had the 21' RS5 with the fixed sport suspension, and hated how bouncy it was. got rid of it after 9 months. looking to get back in one with DRC, hopping it will be much better over crappy roads.

[@fabinho69fs]

[@espenskar2814]

I agree, although I would have gone for the RS5, but that's because of the drive feeling Audi has. The BMWs has for sure a nicer design

[@GiGaSzS]

Great job BMW and Audi for still keeping quality physical controls alongside the touchscreens. Especially Audi who made a natural evolution of climate control by improving the LCD information. Simple to read settings (white on black) with useful information. I would only wish for getting manual transmission. Yes the automatic is faster and lasier but there is no satisfaction you get from manual shifting into gears.

[@WallabyWinters]

Thomas, another great review, I love the comparison reviews. Both are great looking cars. I would choose the RS5, actually the S5 and save a few dollars. I completely agree with you - give me actual physical knobs for climate control. I wish Audi still had the control wheel for the infotainment screen, so you do not have to always use the touch screen - eyes on the road (safety first as you like to say).

I chose the RS5 for the reasons you stated. It is an extremely capable car and I feel safer knowing I have quattro. The M4 is probably a better drivers car on a track or when really pushing it, but most people use their car everyday for normal driving so the RS5 wins in my opinion

The Audi wins the looks comparison. The blue BMW color is better than the Audi green. Obviously I can't drive them back to back, but based on looks alone, the Audi wins. Bugs Bunny belongs in cartoons not on expensive car grills. Great comparison Thomas. I will add, the Walter DeSilva designed S5 from a few years ago looks much better than this new RS5 design.

[@robertgordon5956]

Audi is available in a beutiful blue but best in Nardo Gray with Black Optics package.

[@robertgordon5956]

Correct. Both coupe and Sporback are avsilable in a very similar blue. I chose the blue for my S5 Sportback (my preferred “Long Ranger” road trip car) and the Nardo Gray with black optics for my RS5 coupe (my “Wild Bill Hickock” mountain road rally car club car).. Took a long time until I could afford these beauties, but worth the wait!
