In the end he said "I went to a john Mayer Concert last night puts me in the mood". So during concerts it's common to sway the lighter from side to side to the music playing. I am really not sure how they meant that reference - maybe they can explain - but shortly before, Dr. Vorsprung was talking about the good sound, so I think that Stanley really likes the sound of the newly tuned exhaust/less sound insulation 🤔

Milliseconds matter none, its what gives you the most confidence while driving. Audi hands down lets you have no fear when entering a corner in any weather and being Canadian... All seasons matter. A lot of people care so much about having their rear end kick out but I beg the differ. Id prefer being planted and boring because that is faster and safer going from A to B.

I sold my Mustang right before I bought my Audi the level of that car dose everything you need it to do with minimum effort and worry is amazing.

I was disappointed that they didn't add any horsepower/torque to the RS5 (they are doing it to the RS6/7) but if they made the driving more exciting, I guess it's a win. Still seems like a steep price increase for the upgrades. I bought a 2016 B8.5 and do still like it but creeping up on 160,000 miles and I am thinking about getting a new Audi (would love an RS7, too much money for me) and these changes may be enough for me to justify the 95,000$ pill to swallow. Great review as always guys - you are my favorite car channel! Cheers and look forward to the next video!

[@stealthhtm23]

honestly, it’s not worth it. I had a 2021 RS5, and it was really boring. sold it for a hefty profit, and got a 2023 S3 for less than half the price. way more enjoyable to drive. i’m assuming you’re in the US. get yourself an 8Y RS3!! I’m in Canada, and they aren’t available here.

@@stealthhtm23 I love the RS3, would get the hatch is they sold it here or the RS4 for that matter, but the RS3 is a bit too small. I drive a lot and like the cabin room in the 5's, I tried an S3 and it was to narrow for my tastes. Appreciate the suggestions though, peace!

As an 2022 rs5 owner, I'd say it's worth if you aren't buying it to race. In the wild I've only met one c63 that wanted to play around, that's it. If you're like me and love the looks and audi feel, and prefer that over the performance benefits from bmw or mercedes, I'd say it's worth it. The rs5 is more livable than the m3, especially in the sportback form. Enjoy whatever you please to! I will say, since this model is on 5 years now, there might be some weight on getting the next generation. I might do a switch myself if they improve the car enough.

@@bibobrabernard1091 The fact that you ended your statement with "I honestly don't like Audi", contradicts your objective view on the price. Here's my understanding. You are paying for a fun factor that Audi never had before, which is a good thing if you're an 'Audi person'. I think that suspension is worth it, (not like you're gonna get that, pretty much racecar level stuff, for a low price anywhere else) lighter wheels, more fun diff, tuned gearbox, more sound, all of which would come at a price anyway anywhere. All you have to do is give it more power, which most people already do to their 'Non-Competition' Audis, but you just get more fun. Look at it as a normal-ish 911 going sorta GT3. On the track, or twisties, it'll be a whole different car dynamically, with the looks that would make BMW wish they kept the 340i grill on the M3, (which they should've) but also the interior, subtlety, and sleeper looks found in the normal RS5... It's worth it honestly, because it brings excitement back to RS. BMW is still head of performance, Merc of Luxury, but NOW we can say that this Audi is both Performance and Luxury. AUDI IS CAR. 😅😂😂😂

Loved it. Great conclusion. I had a G80 on order but now have my RS5, like you say it’s subjective, the M3 is a much better car at what it was built for: to go fast, but the RS5 is much better at being a car, using daily and also going fast. Love the G80, it’s the true king of the fast sedans, but it’s no compromise approach isn’t what I wanted and it’s why the RS Audis exist, to fit that gap between the rest, not to be the same.

Great episode - reinforced my decision to order the RS5 Competition, and now I can start to enjoy it after it was delivered last weekend.

Honestly I own the S5 B9 that's been stage 2 since the day one I got it and I can beat stock RS5, throw a hybrid turbo at it and you are running 710 / 810 HP for way less money than what is the purchase price of RS5 B9 and most of it's capabilities. Throw some nice coilovers at it and you still might have some money left for gas. Therefore I just cannot justify the price difference in S/RS cars (at least as the 4 and 5 goes). But I'm glad that Audi has done a car that might be able to stand face to face with it's rivals and be fun while at it. It's a good (re)start of the brand.

I am a diehard audi fan. I like the direction they're going but they really should've done a little more of a tune on this one. I really like the way the Audi's look compared to the bmw or mercedes counterparts but it's just not enough power/speed I think compared to the others at this point. They're trending in the right direction though. Hopefully Audi will add some more power in the future. With that said I do think if things begin to shift towards electric cars then Audi could be the frontrunner. They have by far the best looking electric cars/concepts in my opinion (except the q4 etron god knows what happened with that) and hopefully will continue to get better with both ICE and EV cars.

This is your oddest review.....in a good way. Never stop.

[@mikenolan8807]

Bmw always underrated their engines and now it's game over for all these brands.

[@Jibrxan]

Beautiful car, a shame the power output hasn’t been upgraded, even an extra 30hp would’ve made it more of a ‘competition’ to the M3

[@Leandre22_02]

Why does Audi steel the name competition it’s belongs to bmw🤣

[@Chocobohunter]

Stage 1 tune for 600$ would probably get you another 80hp

[@omnihein9322]

@@Chocobohunter I mean... The m3 is already cheaper... And a stage 1 tune adds like 160hp... Audi should have added more power, no question.

[@Chocobohunter]

@@omnihein9322 all about reliability, audi doesnt really push their cars to the limit while bmw does out the door

[@omnihein9322]

@@Chocobohunter ? The M3's internals can literally handle double the rated horsepower for extended periods of time, and not just for regular road use for Formula drift... Power has nothing to do with reliability, how it's built does. (also, BMW has been more reliable than Audi for quite a while now) Love my SQ5 though, excellent daily.

I could be going through my day and randomly this intro pops in my head and I laugh regardless of where I am and its even funnier because I live in Berlin, Germany. Absolutely amazing review.

[@cecozahariev6829]

Great review! Absolute top class. I don't get why Audi doesn't increase the horsepower, it's not like they technologically can''t so it really baffles me...

[@m4tiger12]

One of my favorite videos from you guys, pure entertainment thank you!

[@grahamsalmons2027]

World class videography, entertainment and creativity as a vehicle (see what I did there?) for actually really incisive and informed journalism. These two are setting a new benchmark. From Canada.

As I have said a thousand times they are my favorite car reviewers on KZbin and their chemistry is amazing

[@JamesNoBrakes]

The practicality of a hatch-back just blows away a sedan IME. I had a BMW 4 GC and I have a Stinger now. 10/10 I would go for a hatch like this sportback over an M3. You might lose a little structural rigidity, but the day-to-day practicality is just so much better. Plus, the audi lines are just beautiful and smooth.

[@CT-vk6cj]

Why the downgrade??

[@JamesNoBrakes]

@@CT-vk6cj Stinger is damn near a clone of the 4GC, its not worse. In some ways it's better. BMW F-series driving dynamics were pretty poor. The reason though was the 4GC was my "only" car and I wanted something more sporty, so I got a 2SS 1LE, but I still wanted a hatchback like the 4GC, the Stinger was a better buy.

[@SSID94]

true but they just dont look sporty. more like a family road trip
