Okay people! I understand 100k is apparently no big deal for Audis!
not for audis, but for any car in general
It’s a lot of miles yes but it’s not a lot as in the car will be on it’s last legs, I always look after the car and it will last much longer, I know someone with an old Skoda with nearly 500k miles and it’s still going with no issues.
This design has definitely aged better than any other car designed in 2008. If I didn't know better, I'd never guess that this is a 10 year old car just by looking at it
Well the 2008 CTS has also aged quite well
Cant say the same for the 2007 CTS lol
The 2008 Acura TL has also aged quite well...but then again it stole its design from the CTS
90k miles is nothing for a 10 year old car
Agreed. My Audi is a 2015 and I passed 90,000 miles a while ago lol
Does this mean it’s gonna run out fast ?
Bro my grandmother got a Q5 with 400000 and it runs fine
Man you pissed off all the Audi fans/ owners 🤦♂️
yes he did, Hail Audi :)
One of my top 10 favorite cars.

Would you take this over an e90?
This just goes to show how hard it is to do a good car review. Typically, you would do a good walk around, show the engine compartment, talk about specs, then move to the interior and talk about features. The driving should be on an OPEN ROAD to demonstrate and talk about the handling. Thanks for posting the video, but I don't really feel any more informed about the S5, than before watching this.
This isn’t a car review. It’s my impressions of driving it for two days so yeah it’s going to be limited in info if you’re already familiar with the car
show him how its done then pussy
@@Alex0992 no need to get violent
My man no offense to you but you tried but you have absolutely no idea about audis in general lol. Btw its slow because it needs a carbon clean at that mileage.
Ivan Giraldo 100% had my old s5 "08" cleaned twice, should need the first one at 50k
revd up supercars yeah i'm an Audi and VW tech and we dynoed an S5 with a lot of carbon only made 260hp as opposed to 354hp
are u kidding me. jesus christ
Ivan Giraldo are they good cars? I’m looking at buying a 2010 s5 with the 4.2
@@Ivan-hx7cc cleaned with seafoam?
Yes, rev limiter.
It's how audi keeps you from destroying their engine showing off.
I have an 09 audi s5 and it's the best driving car I have had. I value opinions I just don't agree with his.
looking to buy one, awesome cars. im a huge bmw fan but the s5 compared to a 335i in terms of build are very different. and the v8 of course
Maxb42 I’m looking at a 2009 s5 it only has 78,000 miles on it the only thing on my mind is finding parts for the car if there were ever something to happen do you think that will be a major problem with the car being 10 years old?
mario haywood lol no. It’s only 10 years old
mario haywood I’m no mechanic, but I do know that a lot of the old Audi’s from 2008 to 2012 had very little changed (parts wise) so no I wouldn’t too much about being able to find parts if I were you
i just got myself a 2008 4.2 with 150 000km/93 000miles and the high mileages didn affect my driving enjoyment one bit, other than that nice video, you give your honest opinion and i appreciated.
ps: sorry for my bad english
I had 196k thousand miles on my 2007 q7 and had zero serious issues with the car. It already sat outside too so 100k on an Audi is nothing.
So good that I bought a 2011 S5 Cabriolet (in 2011) and I still have it - although now only for sunny day fun! It is in pristine condition - Sprint blue, and I can't go out in it without somebody commenting on how good it looks.
This guy doesn’t know what’s he’s talking about ! The mirrors aren’t big and if it’s a 2012 it’s not 10 years old !
And everybody is interested in Audi
Very poor review. Do some homework. Car review is not reality tv.
In manual mode...YOU MUST SHIFT...SO YES it will hang in gears.
Wow, kind of car snobby going on about 100,000 miles. I have 3 cars and they all have 100,000 or more miles fml.
He’s stupid as fuck. Prolly gets scammed at car dealerships 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Every single automatic will downshift automatically to avoid stalling even in manual mode.... Not sure why you keep pointing that out.... Lol
@Muff Handz 100% correct. I'm thinking this dude needs to stop reviewing cars and listen to his girlfriend.
Not true. Bmw m gearbox does not shift for you in manual mode. Under any circumstances
As an S5 Audi owner i would have to say, You really dont know much about them. I love my Audi, best car ive ever own. Highest resale value, The body is very stylish love the design. We Audi owners appreciate a great dependable car and know one when we see it.
Mike Allen resale value, what a joke.
Resale value? These car's retail price dropped like a tank from their msrp since they came out in 2008. You can pick one up that has been driven less than 100k miles for under 15 grand nowadays. These things sold for over 70 grand new when they came out. You as an S5 owner also don't know what you're talking about. That's how me whose also an S5 owner too was able to afford one even as a college student.
@@reeseboi8704 I think he's talking about resale value as in buying a used one and reselling it a few years later.... there's not many cars out there that you can buy brand new and resell for almost the same price after a couple of years.
@@danielcarlsson7777 What you said absolutely makes no sense. There is no such thing as buying a car straight from the dealership brand new and selling it for even a higher profit a couple years later. Any car ever immediately drops in value the moment you drive it brand new out of a dealership. The only cars that have actually appreciated in value a couple years after coming out of a dealership brand new are limited production supercars, like Lamborghini Veneno for example. This S5 is literally worth around 20k if you want a low mileage one. That is 50k less than when it came out 13 years ago. This car is still dropping in value each year. Mate you literally have no idea about what you're talking about..
@@reeseboi8704 I was simply referring to what you said in your earlier comment. It was you that talked about the price of the car dropping from its msrp, and I simply replied that most cars do drop quite alot from their msrp. And that I think that what he was talking about was resell value from one second hand owner to the next when it's already a used car. With that said I don't have any opinion in this cars actual resell value from one second hand user to another. But I would be surprised if it's alot different(up or down) from Merc, BMW or any other brand in the same price range.
Reviewing a different car other than the m3 is a good change every now and then. Keep it going!
YUP good to try something different. But WAIT, its a RENTAL WITH 100K MILES! Let me think how a e90 RENTAL would be with that mileage. I'm sad I watched this review
S5 sport suspension is stiff by default!
This is so ironic because I'm about to buy this exact year possibly tomorrow with just over 105k miles.
J M Yeah I’m currently looking at one with 86k km
@@rot_v I just traded mine in for a BMW X2 and I couldn't be happier. IDK how old you are but impulse is a powerful drug! Make sure to test drive it and really reaally think about it. Once you are there it is hard to say no but after buying it I had so much regrets. Its awd but not practical at all. Maybe 10 years ago I would have loved the car but I'm 33 and I think you grow out of it eventually. Don't let impulse win you over and have regrets, make sure you really want it before buying it. It's really not nearly as fast as the newer 400hp cars and I'm at the point where I'd rather rent a fun sports car here and there or on vacations than own one because what you own gets old quick!
J M Only reason I’m considering this purchase, is because of the fact that it’s only a mere $18,000NZD... incredibly cheap. The thing is, only reliability is a concern for me, and I’m hearing mixed opinions. How was yours for the time that you had it for? Or was it such a short period of time that you couldn’t give a feasible response? In regards to reliability, of course...
@@rot_v Couldn't give a reasonable response.
Get the hell out of that car lol. Seem like someone who knows nothing about cars trying to make a review lol “you go faster in lower gears “ wow really? Never knew
100% TRUE COMMENT "LIKE"
lol love all the audi fans coming out in the comments, ive got a 2008 s5 v8 manual myself and the car is mint and shifts like a dream, haha i think perspective is everything, well maintained versions will ride mint, i cant imagine a rental company will have kept up with all the needed maintenance. manual is the way to go with these cars imo, and a muffler delete is needed as it allows the sound that is well deserved for the engine it boasts. mine atleast is a head turner everywhere i go with just a muffler delete . imo just saying
I just got a 2015 s5 and just broke 40k.. This car look timeless and is a performance monster
I own a 2010 manual v8 s5 and I must say she still is her
My answer would be yes.My 2009 Audi TTs still holds it own against the new S3,Gulf R, Ford RS and the Honda type R.I even out run a 2017 Q7 S today.Mine has 30,000 on the clock.Good video and cool car 🍻 Get the car carbon cleaned you will notice a massive difference.Got mine done few weeks ago and the engine and exhaust sounds a lot more free flowing.
I just downshift with the left paddle even in auto mode if i'm cruising and want to overtake etc, if it's in 6th, tap paddle 3 times and you drop to third no prob, or slam you foot past that bit you feel for the kickdown, depends what you want to do, i'm al;ways playing with the "Audi drive select" anyway, but still quicker than shifting a manual imo. In "comfort mode" it WILL hold back for obvious reasons, but in Dynamic mode it's a lot more responsive.
Shifting should not be like that. In mine it is sooo smooth
You sir , have no idea what you are talking about.
this review is utterly useless, absolute zero information regarding the car itself, how it drives, corners, handles and some nonsense bs about rattling and stuff in this particular car, also reviewing a sports car driving through downtown
The cat knew that the review wasn't on point lol.
This criticism is actually funny
how is 100K miles a lot for 10 years? 800 miles per month or so is pretty low amount to drive (or do you imagine audi s5 to be a weekend car, lol)
Loved my 99 A4 It was really fast. The only thing is that they are high maintenance for the fast and furious type. Like myself. I blow out the turbo costs $800 or $900 I belive. Then a year later timming belt slipped. Cost $1200. But was told by mechanic they could not guaranty that the valves were not bent. I had her for 3 years so I just got rid of her.😢 It was a fun car to drive!! 😍
@K X true I had nothing but problems with mine. But I still loved her. It's just something about those Audis... The clean lines and look...😍
I’ve got the same car 118.000 mls on the clock n we love it
I just have to wonder what you normally drove on a daily basis when this video was made....
I owned three Audi none of them automatic. The last one rolled it 8 times and walked away with a scratch on my arm. The moral story is
It's not for everyone it's for drivers who push this fine machine to the limit and still come out alive.
I've owned an M3 couple of years ago, the build and ride quality doesn't even come close to my rs5.. which is exactly the same body as this s5.. typical bmw driver review of an audi.. thumbs down
I'm telling Doug you're trying to be like him. Spoof
THIS
The 4 cylinder drives the way you'd expect the car to drive.
100,000 miles and you're complaining? If you take care of any Audi it will easily go 200,000 miles and still drive smooth.
Yo bro my audi s5 is fuckin sick nasty. I had it over 160. Still smooth as fuck at 30k miles...beast mode shit...better than the a8 I had.
ive got the v6t cabriolet, rapid and beautiful..i dont care that its 11 years old
Did this S5 you had really have a rev linter?
Reviews a big V8, claims 99k is a lot of miles lol
When you are driving on manual mode you kinda have to drive it not baby it
Wow bro you know so much about cars
DUDE, did she touch that stray cat???
Do some homework BMW fanboy
See how he was talking to that woman
Did you just say maintenance on a 100k mile S5????? Shutttt upppp
Check out what i did to my 2010 Audi S5 i did a lot of work on it cosmetically. The engine is great and i've never had any problems with any of my Audi. I plan on supercharging it to get it right about 600CHP.

lol I got an a3 145000 miles if a car is serviced properly it will go to like 300k or more and that's not just audis and by the way do Americans like buy a new car every year or something why is 10 years old such a big deal lol
Drove one a week ago after driving the 2013-2016 model. He's right about the clunkiness and the transmission.
Fluid or Gears not being new?? Come on man hahaha.
I had one!
Yeah that car is definitely not at its full potential the car has a limitor
who is the babe??
A beamer driver giving an audi review...if it's not an M series its obviously trash.
Rev limiter @ 4k ;-( are you kidding me....Try 7k Simon Cowell. My s5 6spd manual v8 4.2L doesn't have one? Are you sure you didnt rent an A5 3.0L? with s5 badges? I wanna say its not gonna blow your socks off because its a 10year old car? How bout this---- Hey v neck they make it in a 6 speed too you know when guys didn't sit down to pee, and paddle shift their sports cars . Im gonna say he didnt wind that out getting on the expressway to victorias secret? Wow it goes faster in lower gears IKR? True dat plus its heavy too because its AWD. Sweet Baby Jesus this is the guy i stand in line behind at starbucks ......double half caf soy latte extra skim breast milk with a little estrogen shot please.
Look at those likes 😭😂
Was just in ATL two weeks ago. Rented a 2018 Altima for 7 days, 139.00, incl taxes. 70.00 seems high for a ten yr old car, per day.
Your driving sucks. Stay within your lane.
It was my first time
It is but you aren't
Auto = Gaaaaaaaay! Lol
Drive a manual version and forget the low mileage haha
Hhhhanhhahhaha you are fanny 😂 it 160000 km the is notig men 😂 my last car had 400tkm newer hat problems wit the engine ....
🤦🏽♂️ this guy doesnt know anything..
It’s an automatic 👎🏼👎🏼
No clue about cars
Having had three Audi’s I can tell you that you are about to witness the destruction of your car from the inside. They are evidently programmed to begin self-destructing at 100k miles. Get your wallet ready.
"If you take care of the car, the car will take care of you”. Frank ‘The Transporter’ Martin.
worst review ever!!!!
Heavy, Overpriced, Underpowered! My best friend was going to get one new. They were 70+ grand new back then in 2009. He got a TT-S instead for 20k less.
Cincy_Supercar more of a luxury cruiser, not really comparable to the tt.
I have an a5 3.2 and it really isn't as bad as you make it, so I'm sure the s5 is just fine. Plenty of power for everyday driving
5s 0-100 is pretty damn good for a luxury grand touring car.
Audi’s are junk.
99000 a lot for a audi? hahahahhahaha
