Bought a 2021 RS5 about 5 months ago and couldn't agree more with your review. I was in between this and the new M3 and while the M3 in my opinion sounded better and felt more grounded, I couldn't convince myself that it would be a GREAT daily driver. The RS5 is an absolutely perfect daily, its comfortable, fast enough when you need it, and in my opinion looks absolutely beautiful. Living in LA I actually use the lane keep assist + adaptive cruise control quite often which automatically puts you into Audi's traffic jam assist.This alone sets it apart from the competition IMO. The car will come to a complete stop and push you along the highway which takes away the stress of LA traffic. My biggest gripe so far of owning the car would be the lack of overall sound, yes it sounds great outside, but inside you tend to forget you're driving an actual sports car. Last thing, I think you hit the nail on the head with the price, I was able to get mine for around $85k without a lot of the needless options. It still came with everything you would want, 360 camera, full driver assistance pack, sports exhaust, etc. Overall, for anyone in the market, you definitely won't have any buyers remorse if you're looking for the perfect daily.

i have a complaint... 36k kilometers and the gearbox is so rough when going from 1st to 2nd. took it to three different dealerships and they said "normal within audi's parameters, no fix required." don't think I'll be getting another audi anytime soon after this thing. it's built to be smooth and fast shifting but in normal it jerks from 1st to 2nd every time in D mode.

[@freedbeefpontoons]

Re: the farting sounds I have looked into this as my car makes the same noises (M2 Competition 6-speed.) I believe the sounds are the modern version of blow off valve sounds. According to BMW my car does not have BOV, instead BMW overlaps the valves off throttle. By holding both the exhaust and intake valves open for a brief moment, the car can blow the pressurized wave of air directly through the cylinders. This has the added benefit of also keeping the turbo(s) spooled once the pressure wave hits the exhaust side of the turbos after passing through the engine. I believe the actual fart sound is air going through the cylinders in succession with no combustion. I suspect Audi VW do something similar and that "DSG fart" is a bit of a misnomer.

[@GregMcNamer]

I don't think that's what is happening, at least on the Audi/VW side. The older engines make that noise and don't have the valvetrain ability to do what you're explaining (I don't think). The noise is the pause of ignition, which helps the engine drop revs very quickly with some unburnt, perfectly mixed exhaust ready to combust in the header(s), which then quickly burns and make the noise.

[@mercedesbenzisbest]

That noise is from cutting timing and spark when shift happens so transmission is unharmed

[@jessem_i31]

@Felix M2 Competition 6-speed... great choice, I'm sure it's a blast to drive

[@tyler9703]

So it's a result of factory-antilag? I'd say some farts on the shifts is a worthy tradeoff for that

[@Juganator]

The noise is simply spark cut.

[@gepokomaru]

Regarding suspension, this car is equipped with DRC which has diagonally interconected dampers (for reducing pitch and roll) and three fixed damping characteristics. The S5 has “regular” adaptive dampers.

[@danieli3211]

I have done quite a lot of miles on the Autobahn in the RS5 and in my opinion its definitely one of the best cars for high-speed cross-country traveling in Germany. Enough cargo space, comfortable and controllable at high speeds and the fuel economy is also decent. In general I'm more into BMWs but as a daily driver I would definitely prefer the RS5 over a M3.

[@hardboiledPhil]

I drove a non-RS Audi with Lane assist and it was shocking that it tweaked the steering because of a painted line when you're doing 120mph/200kph. A really dumb idea at that kinda speed

[@loud_v8_noises]

Biggest problem with the rs5 sport back is the s4 and s5 get all the best parts of the car: same interior, same virtual cockpit, same massaging seats, very similar engine (single turbo vs twin). The only real differences are the wide body and 100hp. Which isn’t enough to justify $25-30k premium. Earlier this year I was in the market for an rs5 spot back but they were all $70k so I got a 2019 s4 with sport diff instead and just kept my previous e92 m3 comp around instead of trading it in. I feel like I got all the good parts of the rs5 sport back in the s4 and don’t really miss the power or wide body looks very much.

It's a lovely car. Audi knows exactly where this car falls in the automotive lineup they offer and what other brands offer. Audi is always going to be unable to really max the potential of the 'sporting' capabilities of their cars as long as Volkswagen AG is producing Porsche vehicles. Remember that Porsche has a majority stake in Volkswagen AG. Sidenote though, except for the performance you're essentially comparing an A5 to an A7. There is a significant difference from the luxury standpoint. Just sitting in both for 10 seconds will make that obvious. So you're not just paying for a larger car that's more expensive and not as much fun.

[@jsquared1013]

The other thing with the "sporting potential" is plain old physics. Audi will never be able to totally match BMW/Merc with the driving dynamics as long as they keep the front diff in the transaxle (and thus the entire engine forward of the front axle line). It's been improved in the last generation or two by swapping the position of the clutch(es) and diff so that the block is a few inches closer to the axle centerline, but it will still always be more nose-heavy than something like a RWD car, or even an AWD BMW or Merc whose diff is alongside the engine (although that setup is also not totally ideal).

I have an S5 SB and bought it after driving the S5 and RS5 back to back. The stock sound of the RS5 was a bit better, but in normal driving, I couldn't detect a noticeable difference. What I did like better was the ability to have the Magma interior, which I liked better than the RS5 black w/ optional stitching color. I tossed a tune on the S5, which fixed the transmission shifts, changed the exhaust note and added some claimed HP, that definitely feels faster. The only thing I lack are the little fake vents near the headlights and -15k (which was the difference between mine and the RS).

I've had a 2018 Audi RS5 since 2019, 4 years as of 7-16 and I completely agree with the awful Lane Assistance, it is always pushing me left or right and once in awhile when passing vehicles it will push me aggressively towards the other vehicle. I think the shadows between the cars cause it to lose sight of the lines and it freaks the computer out. I think you should have let the car do the launch control instead of trying to do a "brake assist" launch. , but the computer is always basing the its next move on what you were doing a minute ago, so if you are driving nice it will not launch you as much as if you are driving aggressively, come to a full stop and then launch again, for example if I get off the expressway and come to a stop then move onto the city road, the launch wants to shoot me down the street. but then later in the day, i'm driving normal city streets and a mustang wants to mess with me, the computer will not understand that I want to GO and will give me a poor launch.

Oh and the Audi's super sick per-ush. I love your reviews, podcast, all content tbh... thank you for sharing!!!! Time Attack Clapppp, and Gear Head Ved(der)!!!! Huge fan of the WCCS!!!!

I had one for 1.5 years, it was a great car. I had the dynamic package with base wheels. Great handling and plenty of punch. Very comfortable ride when in comfort. It was a very quick and entertaining year round/all weather daily driver. Complaints are poor fuel range and fair exhaust sound. The seat massagers are lame, it pumps and deflates different air bladders versus what you get in an A8 or S class.

S5 comes with the massage seats as well😎

[@bcredeur97]

The only problem is it doesn’t have a V8 lol

Drinking game: Everytime they ridiculously say, "I feel like" drink. You'll be hammered by the end of the video.

Zach's got a real dad look in this one

When are you gonna take the CT4 Blackwing for a run Matt?

[@jacobmoses3712]

I would love to see Matt get in and out of the back seat. Those rear doors aren't really doors, they are letterbox doors

[@SunshinyCoDo]

Also, the head room is terrible...

[@thadoggfatha.]

I want these wheels they looks great

[@richardh3587]

Cheapest car with massagers that I’m aware of is the id4. VW arteon has it too. Next up woukd be the s5 then most cars in the 5 series / e class price range can be optioned with them. Can you tell I really want this in my next car

[@michaelschneider-]

The Color is? .. The exterior color of this '22 RS5 Sportback is?

[@mousiee7]

Beautiful car!

[@ClellBiggs]

That's a really nice looking car.

[@IsaacReddinger]

The same seats are standard in the S4/S5

[@717xcrunner]

I know you can get massaging seats in a Ford Explorer for high 50’s. Id like to see you guys drive an Explorer ST

[@Matt-rk3de]

Dope ride

[@justsomeone9267]

I own a 2021 Rs5 It's a great all year round, but it not fun to drive, it's quite soulless. It's to underpowered too, should be near the 500bhp, I'm chopping it in for a new M3 x drive!

[@RidingWithBobby]

Absolutely beautiful vehicle. I’m not big on silver wheels, but damn it looks good with that chrome from the side view.

[@popcornfps]

RS3 and R8 ❤️

[@kenvanpassen9247]

Matt.... my brother bought a Peugeot 3008 a couple years ago when it was out about a year. It's not the range topping GT, and that car has Massaged seats..... a 100k will nearly buy you 4 of those... just saying :D Other than that, great video man ;)

[@stuartlloyd-jones9583]

As per all reviews, you need to knock it into Sport, then you get sub 4 secs o-60

[@mbclk65amg]

Doesn't matter, that was traction limited.

[@taylor315]

Engine specs sound just like the Macan turbo 2.9 v6.. But yea that’s the problem, no one offers v8’s in the cars we want and that should have them! Gotta pay to play 🥲
