I just purchased this car and absolutely love it.
Everything is what you would expect and more from a premuim performance coupe.
The major defining factor in choosing this car was when I heard the engine start; knew at this point that I had to have it.
It is understated and over performing, but people can't take their eyes off of it.
Another very nice feature is that you don't see many on the road. 3600 sold in the entire country last year.
If you are considering one, their is no reason to hold back!

I was a die hard Lexus owner but saw the S5 at the airport and knew I had to have one.
It is the sexiest car I have ever seen and people literally turn their heads everywhere I go.
I live the Dallas area and have only seen 3 other S5s on the road since I purchased it 8 months ago.
The dealership had already added Stasis (something I otherwise would not have paid for but my husband loves it) and the engine roar is unbelievable.
Coming from a very quiet Lexus, the engine noise seemed a little loud at first but now I don't even hear it anymore.
I'm a fairly aggressive driver and absolutely love the handling and overall maneuverability of this car.
Just bought the S5

I bought the Audi S5 last month. I was torn between waiting for the supercharged V6, or getting the V8. After all of my research, I discovered, that the V6 will be on average 2-3 miles per gallon more efficient. Which if you drive 15,000 miles a year, and extrapolate over a 5 year car ownership averages to about $2000 saved for the V6. I chose the V8 because I test drove both engines, and the V8 just sounds better, feels better, and I personally like feeling the gears change and shift, because it makes me feel that I am driving a rocket. The car is beautiful, handles superbly, the interior is well- appointed, and looks great. The MMI did require some learning, but I'm good with it now.

I've previously driven an A4,S4,BMW 3 series. Although the new S4 is marginally faster on the track, the combination of elegance, beauty, performance, solid build quality and a refined, ergonomic interior that matches (if not exceeds) competitors makes the S5 the ideal coupe for the affluent consumer desiring a...well frankly speaking a flashy daily driver. Short of the R8, this is the best overall handling production Audi. 0-60 times as follows: 4.9 (standstill), 4.7 with S-mode, 4.5 with a 1 foot roll out in S-mode. 24-26 mpg highway.
A great ride

Purchased my new S5 Quatro Coupe about 30 days ago. Drove the BMW5, and Mercedes E class as well. I knew within 0.5 mi of the dealership that this was the one for me. I can't begin to express how much fun and nice this car is both to look at and drive. The handling in the corners is tight and responsive. In sport mode, the acceleration is enough to throw you back in the seats. On appearance, the angry look outside looks like it's moving even while standing still. The interior is a wonderful blend of colors and quality textures that make me never want to get out. From my constant smile, my wife thinks I am having an affair, - but at least it is with a car!

This is our third Audi convertible and this new S5 is a Superior car to the other two S4 convertibles we had. From the engine performance to the shape of the mirrors. Great car. Just not as fast as our 2009 BMW 335i coupe.
perfect...

Traded an 08 s4 for it. Was shopping for a 911 or m3. This s5 is the perfect marriage of a luxury car and a sports car. I get continuous thumbs up at stoplights. Its funny. The m3 is faster. But it looks like every 2 door BMW on the road. The 911 is great. But just didn't fit me. The s5 is a dual personality. Gorgeous machine. I can say that the I found my perfect car. Get it before they change the engine to a v6. This will be the last v8. Unless you go to the rs4. Which will be a 25k premium. Get 'em while they last, they will be hard to get and will keep their value for years to come.
Heads won't stop turning to look at S5!

If you want to keep a low profile and go un-noticed then, this is NOT the car to drive.I inherited enough money in Jan. 2010 to be able to buy me this car with cash in March 2010. I knew I wanted a Luxury/Sport Coupe, and narrowed it down to this or the Infiniti G37.Deciding factor for me was the way the Audi S5 Coupe felt while driving it. This car demands the attention of everyone within view with its sensory charged design and gadget options. Love the rims that came on the car but have already scraped them on two curbs. My auto insurance also increased from $145.00 per month premium to $414.00 per month. But, Its Worth It! Hoped the Convertible was AWD though!

Having been a vette owner for years-the price of the new ones compared with new technology being introduced by other automakers made me look in a different direction. I drove new Corvettes, MB, Infiniti, and Lexus. When I finally drove the Audi S5 Cabriolet-I knew it was time to change. The style, the punch of the supercharged engine, the interior design, the technology Audi offers and the limited availability of the S5 Cab made me want one. It is roomy, enough power to cruise with some fun, sounds great and the tech gadgets are incredible.

I just got my S5in nov and what a purchase. The roar of the engine is awesome, the car loves to be driven fast, I have to keep a close eye on the speedometer, or before you know you're doing 100 no problem. The drive and handling is beautiful except that silly sunroof, I'll live though, I don't recommend this car because I don't want to see too many on the road. Just kidding get one.
You won't be disappointed

My first Audi and this car is awesome! The S5 is worth the extra $. Great sound, performance, style and handling. I've only had for 1 month so far, but all is good. The "new" navi system & tech pkg is nice and my two kids are fine with back seat area (rare for a coupe). The only option I ordered was the "Prestige Pkg". I'm not a track guy but I do enjoy performance driving. I've heard good things about Spt Diff, Drv Select, and Drv Asst pkgs as well. This is my 1st Tiptronic (all previous cars were 6sp) and I like the "sport option" shift mode as well as the "paddle shifting". I'm through the break in period and the car is a delight to drive. It's my daily driver, no regrets.
Best of the Lot

This is my 4th Audi. First 3 were A6s & the last two were 4.2L S-Line. Each Audi I've owned was better than the last one and this is no exception. This is a stunning, head-turning vehicle, inside and out. Mine is Canyon Red, no longer standard and special ordered, but, as I love the color, worth every extra penny. It has driver assist, which also alerts one about cars in the blind spot, sports differential, and drive select; highly recommend all 3 and the latter 2 enhance performance. Loads of fun, responsive as all get out, and very comfortable even on 6 hr trips. Gas drinker, mainly due to a smaller tank but I get 27 on the road. I tried BMW M3 & 6-Series Coupe. This is nicer.
