[@dwnshft]

Special thanks to our Patreons for their support of the channel! RS5 or M3?

If only I could get Audi exterior, Mercedes interior, and BMW performance 😭

Porsche?

[@mrscottmescudi10]

@@crazytingz7006 Porsche is a level above all of those in my opinion, especially when it comes to the 911. Their exterior and interior styling is classic while also modern but I am not the biggest fan of it compared to some of the others. For example, the Panamera is beautiful but I prefer the RS5 more aggressive exterior styling and the more modern GT43/63 interior. I would only replace “BMW” with “Porsche” in the original comment but that’s just my personal preference. I will say the 911 Turbo S has always been my dream coupe but that’s mainly because of the performance and RWD dynamics. If performance and depreciation wasn’t a factor, then the new GT63 Coupe would be my first choice.

⁠@@mrscottmescudi10the 992 interior is terrible what the hell are you talking about. Definitely not a step above any Merc/Audi/BMW right now

I’ve owned my 23 RS5 SB since late February. I still have a blast every time I get behind the wheel. I love the carbon fiber on both the exterior and interior and aside from the amazing power, the carbon is my favorite feature. Nice review, now see about doing a rolling review.

MMi is better in my opinion. You get physical buttons that you can feel for when driving. B8.5 RS5 high revving V8 with dual clutch has much more character.

I just picked up a 2024 RS5 sportback competition. What i love about this car. Comes with Coilovers, dry carbon fiber everywhere, wider body and fenders.

After my Alfa Guilia QV, (CTSv before) I didn't suspect I'd find a car as suitable for the "fun to drive factor". I was right: gave AMG (C63) and M a shot (M3 & M4), but wound up "settling" on an S5, which I promptly traded for the adult model. My RS5 is no QV level of can-you-control-it-fun and it can't compare to my CTSv pure power/handling + legit comfi-luxury.... but it's far better than what I drove from MB & BMW. I am NOT an Audifista... but somehow seem to be stumbling my way into it (3 S/RS Audis last 8 yrs lol).

[@timfung9535]

RS5 look much better than M3, is short term memory in 10 MPG also better than M3?

[@kendalson7100]

My 2020 M340iXDrive. Looks better than the new 3s.

[@bestog2000]

Facelift was in 2021. Can't even get basic facts correct bud.

[@omarrahman5532]

M4 and M3 touring looks better than this. The Audi is just looks too basic for me to pull the trigger on one.

[@T0RM3NT_303]

😂

[@MIXINGBOWLMAN]

M3 no contest

[@dwnshft]

👀👍

[@DaGoook]

Only the touring. Otherwise RS5 for sure.

[@soarabove337]

I have - SOMEhow - wound up with 3 Audis over the last 8 yrs & I can't abide an M enough to even warrant making an offer, test drives be damned. I come from a long line of fine cars (Guilia QV, Caddy CTS-v, S5, S4, '86 Shelby Daytona lol), but I'm 0-for-everything on finding a reason to buy an M since my first 1992 experience. Make the car livable inside: doesn't have to be as fancy as MB nor as pretty as Audi.... but I picked up my RS5 last week after remarking to "M sales specialist" how nouveau-1990s the BMW had become. In fairness, that Cadillac circa-2010 pop-out screen was a nice touch... albeit too late, plus the reason Caddy bailed on it is still something BMW didn't consider, I guess (spills + gravity). 🤷‍♂🙄🤦‍♂ I'm not always open-tracking my car & eventually, I need to live with it daily too. YMMV

[@Foregrlz]

I have a PAID FOR kia stinger awd gt2 and will add a RS5 coupe as I'm not needing another sb ......
