What Nobody Tells You About Audi S5: Tall Drivers Be Warned

[@Deadlygangsta]

Thank you, amazing video. Did not know some of these things.

[@9LimaAlpha7]

2:30 u can get ppf on those interior piano black surfaces i believe

[@AlwaysCreativeVideos]

Yeah but I will probably just have it wrapped sometime in the future though.

[@TheMindUnlocked]

6:25 youd be able to lift the steering wheel up and pushed all the way in for more comfort and better seating

[@indiolush]

In dynamic, I get 28-32 MPG with the occasional romp on the gas. As for the Piano trim, put the clear mylar on it. Same with the side mirrors, 1/5 of the hood and front clip.

[@jonlikesplanes]

I’m 6,3 and have no issues with my a5. It’s just that rear passenger will be a little cramped unless I move my seat up which usually isn’t a big deal to me.

[@AlwaysCreativeVideos]

Yeah basically the same for me

[@tmanch1]

Totally agree with the piano black console trim. Had to change it out to a carbon fiber piece. So much nicer. And Brake dust, horrible. Drive just 10mi after a wash, you can see it accumulate. Had to take care of that issue by changing out the pads at 279mi. Now I hardly get any dust and it stops just as good.

[@mirabileg1]

Send link to the carbon fiber piece. I’d be interested in changing mine out. 2023 S5 and 2021 S5

[@tmanch1]

@@mirabileg1 I did send out a response, but I think sending links is not allowed. The part can be found at EZT EuroZone Tuning website. It is for '21-22. They say for the '23 you need to buy a replacement center bin. You do not need to buy it. The one you have should fit just fine., at least for my '23 SB. You will want the Gloss Carbon fiber. There is a youtube video on how to remove and replace. I have seen some others get a carbon fiber overlay that is much less, but that's not what I wanted.

[@Mricebergslim]

Can you send me link to carbon fiber piece

[@faautobahna9416]

hey thanks. very helpful to know.

[@jackal2001a]

How many rock chips on your paint? I only have 200 miles on my A5 and picked up a few chips. Seems to chip easier than my Infiniti Q50 did. Also feel as though my Q50 had more leg room for the driver.

[@AlwaysCreativeVideos]

I have a lot. Yeah the paint definitely chips easy.

[@TheMindUnlocked]

7:35 this is depending on the roads and where reside. If rocky roads or etc

[@TheMindUnlocked]

8:10 some may have ceramic option. So they may not get brake dust

[@9LimaAlpha7]

the back windows dont go down all the way?!

[@slypod8493]

Nope

[@AlwaysCreativeVideos]

Yeah the rear wheel prevents the window from going down all the way. Don't worry you can still hear the exhaust just fine! lol

[@mirabileg1]

Audi windshields are notorious for soft windshield glass. Have had to replace 2 on an Audi A4 and a Q5. Many times need to be replaced with OEM windshield depending on car options but avoid at all costs

[@marcg1964]

How do you deal with the location of those cup holders?

[@AlwaysCreativeVideos]

It has not been a problem for me since I only put the standard 500ml water bottles in there. I have heard others complain though especially if using a bigger bottle or mug.

[@Deadlygangsta]

The space is not the biggest issue for me since it will be driven mainly by me with at most 1 passenger. But sometimes family likes to join in so I'm stuck between S5, SQ5 or S6. But S6 is very expensive compares to S5 and SQ5

[@9LimaAlpha7]

6:40 if i bought a car that costs nearly $70K , i wouldn't expect any software glitches at all!

[@AlwaysCreativeVideos]

Yeah I hear you on that!

[@SaveAHoe906]

Being an electrician that deals with a lot of electronic components you shouldn’t expect to never have an issue. I don’t know how many times straight out of the box, a component was dead. Those are big name companies as well Siemens, ABB, Allen Bradley, etc.. For 76,000 I would expect it to be perfect though I wouldn’t be upset if one or two things happened.

[@amitkalia4255]

I got my piano black PPF the first day I got it

[@blazehenryson]

I’m gonna do the same and on the touch screen. How’s it working out for you, worth it?

[@slypod8493]

Getting my ppf this weekend. Already have the car dropped off. Noticed a rock chip Wednesday. Went to Audi and got touch up paint. 20 bucks and some dealers stock it. Just call ahead of time.

[@Von_RX]

so true!

[@ericbritton8146]

Audi's S5 is a very luxurious automobile, but rear leg room is not adequate until you move to the A8, S8 or especially the A8L. It would be very nice if Audi offered an S8L.

[@AlwaysCreativeVideos]

S8L would be cool! and yeah I agree the A8 has way more leg room.

[@hugh7251]

what glasses are those?

[@charlesmcwilliam8727]

I honestly don't know you get such bad mpg, my S5 has done 60k miles and is a petrol and I get Efficiency 38.75 Comfort 36.2 Auto 37.7 Dynamic 30.05

[@jonlikesplanes]

It’s mainly depends on were you live and how fast you drive. I get bad gas in my a5 in normal Florida roads because it’s a lot of stop and go traffic but I get way better gas on the highway.

[@AlwaysCreativeVideos]

Yeah I barely ever drive in comfort mode. I drive pretty rough most of the time becase it's hard not too.

[@SaveAHoe906]

Come on. A lot of Michigan highways are 55. That’s optimal for efficiency and it’s really flat and I get 30. Not sure how you are getting 36. Seems like bull squat to me.

[@TheMindUnlocked]

I was putting $20 a day for nissan altima coupe 💀 aha

[@TheMindUnlocked]

Sometimes $40. Had 02 sensor code had t gotten around to and boy did it bite aha ; much brtter in honda 1.7 vtec now! $20 lasts a good 3-5 days premium; with an 02 sensor code even 🤣

[@AlwaysCreativeVideos]

$20 a day is crazy

[@TheMindUnlocked]

@@AlwaysCreativeVideos facts yo. It wasnt the best at all aha

[@mirabileg1]

Disagree with leg room in back seat. You 6’3” and your analysis is not accurate. The average person has plenty of leg room in the rear seat area.

[@LJMRACING]

its from his perspective so of course its accurate, it helps other tall drivers looking to buy the car

[@partytree1]

This is in fact an accurate analysis when you’re tall. It’s info you don’t find anywhere else and is much appreciated by myself.

[@amedaius8492]

Yep, true story. Getting in and out of the car is the only complaint I really have for my S5. I actually think if I'd gone for the cabriolet or coupe it would be better, because between how far back my seat/steering wheel are and how small the doors are, there's not much room to actually enter and exit the car.
