2012 Audi S5 Review - Buy it, and buy it now

- Sitting in traffic, an E550 Coupe crawls onto the highway and parks just a few cars ahead and a few lanes over. It certainly is original looking, but you can't help but feel a little sorry for the folks at Mercedes. How can you compete with a car as beautiful as the Audi S5?

I remember watching this video when I was considering a S5. Bought it 2 years ago and yes, I am glad I bought the Audi S5.
Me too. Love my 2010. No regrets. Not even terrible on gas (when I'm a good boy).
johnnyd83 2010 great car my boy
its pretty hard to resist not to drive a maniac on this when I got a AWE exhaust system
Byronic Tonic, can you tell me a bit more please, I’m looking to buy one soon, I need advise on what to lookout for and which is more reliable manual or auto? I’m in the UK. Thanks
@@ImperialHDGaming manual is allways more reliable, faster and just so much fun.
Last S5 with a V8. That alone makes me want it.
Last S5 with 6 speed V8 sounds even better to me:)
Trash car
@@100cvcv8 A trash car go from 0-100km/h in 5 sec.
It's actually 354 HP with the V8; he switched the 5 and 4 lol.
I just bought a 2010 S5 six speed manual with AWE track exhaust ... sounds sick
I have the AWE exhaust also on my 09 S5. Sound amazing. I love it.
Any engine problems?
I have a 2011 S5 4 door 7 speed automatic with dual clutch and s-tronic shift. 333hp v6t. Love driving it!
"Which will cost you an extra $5900 bucks". I could get a daily with that extra $5900.
DZL or a 3.2 Audi a5
Audi is not for you then, friend.
I just paid $1,199 for 75k service and $600 on top for what issues were discovered along the way. And that's normal for Audi.
Just saying.
"You should buy it" you know what you are right. I am 21 years old, full time student, on my way to the dealership right now! Wait, my bank accounts has 3 pennies. Do they accept nonexual love as payment?
Hahaha. He did say several times "If you're in the market..."
I’m a 21 year old full time student, 4 years after this comment posted I just bought one lol
Ok who asked
@@sugabopp your mother.
@@mschrage618 lmao bro good stuff, I just got into pharmacy school, and 3 years ago bought an IS350, but I was so close to buying an S4
Who’s here in 2019?
Now you can find these all day under 20
😂
@IAmKing720 how you planning on doing that? They only way to get those numbers , is supercharging it. Those start around $10,000 us. Unless you get the V6 model.
2020 and in lockdown
Big fax copped one for 17 😤 u can get these to 450 with headers, downpipe, Tune, full 3inch exhaust. Im grabbin magnaflow shits crazy madd flames these have rs5 potential
The v8 engine is bullet proof. You will still see these with 100-120k miles and still worth nearly 20 grand.
Thats right, i consider bying one of those beauties, there are a lot on the market with past 300k miles, so you know this engine is awesome.
For around 20k bucks, i think this is one of the best V8 GTs you can get on the market.
oldsql which market ?
Pre covid they used to be 20k Australian dollars now they go for 32-38k I'm heart broken haha
Bought a 2010 Cabriolet in Moonlight Blue with the gorgeous Sienna Brown/Black combo interior. The Sienna Brown is more like a brick red. I get whiplash looking at the car. Simply the most gorgeous - and hottest - thing on the road, hands down. Nothing touches this car in looks or performance.
Can't afford this one, but I am buying an A5! I'm excited like a little kid over it, too! : )
No doubt that Audi is sooo much nicer than ANY BMW inside and out!!! Classy lines and a throaty exhaust. BMW is starting to look like a car an 80 year old would drive in the slow lane.
I just bought one and I love it!!
HawaiiRebel how much was it in your country?
Can we appreciate the fact that this was like a legit movie trailer in the first 40 seconds 😂😂❗️
Simple, elegant, high quality interior. And no, i'm not a big fan of the new one, THIS version is the one i fell my heart into
Ontario represent !
I just bought one nearly identical to the one in the video. I pick it up tomorrow. Can't wait.
Update: THE WORST car I have ever owned. 20000kms of sheer, unbridled misery.
As of January 9, 2019, I have had the car for 165 days. 43 (and counting) of those days, the car has been off the road for repairs. That is 26% of the time I have had it.
Check engine lights, misfires, random misfires, wheel bearings, fucked up repairs by audi, new battery, blown ECU, motor mounts, coolant bottle, new spark plugs, new coils (still misfires), proximity key sensors in both doors stopped working, audi doesn't update the nav on the older ones so that is useless as well. At the moment, with a blown ECU, I am staring down the barrel of a $2000 second attempt at a REPAIR. If that doesn't work, I am looking at $3000 plus tax for a replacement ECU.
It gets the best fuel, the best oil, oem or better parts, rust proofed, fully detailed regularly, and, maintained by a shop that specializes in audis.
So far, I have spent more on repairs, than I have paid off of the loan to buy this PIECE OF SHIT.
I wouldn't take another audi (brand new, or used) if it was free.
At this point, I can't wait to pay it off, so I can get rid of the fucking thing, as quickly as possible.
Be warned!
@@eat_a_dick_trudeau How many miles does your car have and what problems have? I'm really interested because I'm looking to buy one! thx
@@Kaiser911GT2RS 157000kms (97000 miles).
As if today, I picked the car up 181 days ago. 59 have been spent in the shop. 32% of the time I have had the car. It coudln't be driven.
Currently it is out of commission for a blown stock ecu. They attempted to fix it twice, and, it won't work. A new one is $2900. With the work they already did, plus the new one, and, programming it, I will be out roughly $5000. I haven't seen my car in 37 days now. They estimate it will be ready next week.
The scary thing is; they don't know what caused it. It could blow another ecu ten minutes after I pick it up.
It always has misfires, and check engine lights. I, and, the shop have gone through it with a fine tooth comb. There is no reason for it. Wheel bearings go frequently on these cars. My proximity door locks stopped working, randomly. Blind spot switches itself off at will. Codes, codes, errors, errors...it never ends.
Can you afford to have a car that maybe works 68% of the time? Can you afford $3000 ecus, which the 4.2 S5's eat for breakfast? Can you tolerate a car that constantly has CELs on, random misfires, and, electrical gremlins? How about wind whistling from the windows, which don't seal? Navigation, they won't update? Keys that randomly de-program themselves?
Audi themselves say they just guess at fixing them. They also love to say "we recognize there is a problem. We don't know how to fix it, and, we aren't going to try."
These cars are beautiful, but, they are CRAP.
@@eat_a_dick_trudeau Thank you for the comprehensive reply! I'm sorry to hear all these problems. It seems that it has all the common issues of the S5 and more.. I wonder if a sub-100k km car is a safer bet or not, but i'm not to sure at this point. Anyway I hope you can sort out the main things and enjoy a bit that big V8!
@@eat_a_dick_trudeau i was just about to pick one of these up 115k miles. had most of the maintenance done but needs rear differential drain, fuel induction cleaning service, tramsission drain and fill service, spark plugs, strut assembly front and rear. Do you still do not recommend this car?
For some reason, I feel like this reviewer is saying a lot but not telling me anything, possibly because he's talking so damn fast.
@vlurton correction, I visited my local Audi dealership and they informed that for next model year 2012 the V8 will be put to rest also in the A5 model as it has already been done in the A4 and Q7 range. The 2012 model coupe S5 will also be powered by the supercharged V6
its just me or is that steering wheel super fat?
all girth no length.
Ronn Lukaku lmaoo i thought the same
I've never seen this reviewer, but good job
I must have this!!! Priorities re-aligned... Initiating
I'm not anti BMW, but you don't buy an Audi just for the HP or 0-60. You buy it because it's an Audi. It's classy, it's not a little boy's M3.
Lol. BMW shits all over Audi in every category.
Matt Budesa you made his point
Matt Budesa I have had BMWs in the past and switched to Audi a couple years ago and can say yes, Audi’s are better. Just my opinion though
@@Bigboycase That's ok your entitled to your opinion. I've had some Audis in the past too. BMW makes better drivers cars. Specifically the M cars. Not sure what BMWs you owned. I'm assuming lower trim cars. Just depends whats more important to you in your driving experience.
great handling car really impressed.
was not impressed with the power.
drove one today on a test course.
@DvidzS5
I agree mate, I have the 3.0V6T supercharged engine in mine, less BHP but more accessible power makes it faster then the old V8 engine. But overall I think she is a great looking car but I have decided to chop it in for a Mercedes C63 AMG coupe which I am looking forward to getting.
Bought one last year and I love it. Mines the convertible model.
Beautiful car! Being a convertible lover, I would definitely go for the cabrio and that wonderful dual clutch tranny. Thanks for the good review and the hat tip to its little brother the TT. This might turn out to be my next car, but that is years off since my TT continues to make me SMILE!!!
Some of the best roads in Toronto.
You literally drove past my house in this vid. :-p
JDOG1337 wait where is this in toronto? Scarborough?
Make sure you get the later ones with the direct injection redesign. The first cars with direct injection were plagued with carbon built up on the intake valves every 25K miles or so.
www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/336187-S5-FSI-engines-doomed-due-to-intake-manifold-carbon-build-up
does the diesel motor suffer from it too ?
2 doors. AWD. 6 Spd manual. N/A V8. The perfect recipe. I think I found my next car..
get it its awesome. i just got mine.
@@wilkinsonyachtbrokerUK How is the reliability on this one? I considering buying one oh those, i earn just over 3k a month after tax, i think the 4.2 is one of audis best engines yet. Littlebit afraid of maintanance but i could do a lot on my own
@@oldsql725 I dont earn that much and it's fine. Its just the mpg that attacks the wallet. Best I can get is 25mpg on cruising. City is 15-20mpg. Which is pretty bad. It's expensive if you drive far. Maintenance is minimal, VAG cars are solid. Mine is 92k and touch wood, shes very good.
@@wilkinsonyachtbrokerUK Thank you very much, i drive like 5k Miles a Year so this should be finde :) Getting it till march 2020, very excited!
Beautiful car. My neighbor bought this, and I am so jealous right now.
@evans4you The 2012 Coupe is still a 4.2 liter V8. The cab is a supercharged V6 (as it has always been).
Pretty cool everyday driver. I can't think of one that's much better, especially for living in a region with stupidly snowy winters.
winterstellar,
I bought a 2013 A5 a few months ago. It's a great car, but if I had to do it over again, I'd get the '13 S5. I test drove the '13 S5 and to be honest was a little underwhelmed by the power and I just didn't see $13k difference between that car and mine, but I guess I want it now for the prestige of it. Let me know if you have any questions on the A5. Good luck finding the one you want!
last sunday i finally went to have a look at an s5 am thinking s5 or bmw m3 my brother has always bought bmw..for me bmw is a fantastic machine any class..a far from a bmw hater i love them cars...but on sunday i went to the car dealer sat in the car i fought this is me and when i turned on the v8 we became lovers..i will not look at any other car..audi s5 v8 black will be on my drive soon...around the end of may..truely magnificent class of its own
@stackinbenjis What? V8 is 354hp and 325 torque. V6 is 333hp and same 325 torque and turbo lag. Not to mention no glorious V8 noise.
V8 all day long, baby.
the v8 is amazing but tbh im not sure what i would take, both engines are good but i know the v8 is better. but Audi chassis simply cannot take the extra weight over the front axle, it is already unbalanced and prone to understeer with the v6 to begin with.
also you truly do have no idea what you are talking about. the v6 makes max torque sooner then the v8. supercharged engines dont have "turbo lag" they dont have any lag at all. you sound like a moron
analanalyst
Childish name calling on TH-cam, that's a new one. Stay classy.
But you're right, I don't know why I mentioned turbo lag in reference to a supercharger. I posted the comment at work so it must've been around 4am!
But the figures are accurate. Supercharged V6 torque maxes at ~325 ft/lbs identical to the V8, but has about 20 less HP.
It's up to the buyer whether they want to lose the guttural "soul" of the glorious 4.2 in favor of a V6 and better MPG.
To each their own.
Also, one of the A5/S5's chassis design features is the front axle pushed further forward of the motor, vs a standard Audi's more engine-forward design.
Not to mention the available electronic sport differential.
Both of which team up to dramatically reduce understeer. Which, I've never experienced in my S5...partially because I chicken out before "Raudi" ever loses her grip. I'm beginning to believe it's impossible to make her lose grip....:)
And by the way, unless you own and daily a S5, your opinion is subject to suspicion....but maybe you do....
Jweeny Pwee the audi v8 is amazing, its a great engine but i would have to drive both and see if the extra weight over the nose is worth it. this is why i prefer BMW's the front turns in much sharper
We can all dream to test drive all the amazing cars out there! :)
im debating, the v6 looks to have a ton of after market potential.
2013 and on have the 7-speed dual clutch S-Tronic. Incredible little auto - seamless shifts even at redline! I test drove the S5... but bought the A5 S-Line instead... slight regret but loving the A5! Ignore my username, since that car ('08 G37S Coupe or JDM Skyline 370GTS) was sold months ago in anticipation of a new car... gotta change it... thinking "Audi Nuthugger" now... :)
I hate those kind of comments too. Volkswagen builds great cars, and it annoys me when some BMW fanboy try to use that as a witty insult towards Audi. Lexus is built by Toyota. But that doesn't mean Lexus isn't a respectable luxury car brand. And with all the iconic cars Volkswagen is responsible for, that'll be more of a complement than a insult.
Last of dying breed refers to the V8 and also probably the 6MT. Both are on the way out. Audi has gone to the Supercharged 6 for the 2013 model S5.
Haha I liked how they whipped out the dubstep when they demo'd the B&O system.
Considering getting a 2008 Audi S5 soon.. Any serious problems or reasons I shouldn't? Thanks
I have this car, but with the 6-speed auto. I absolutely love it and it's outright gorgeous. I have 41k miles on it now and the lease is up so I need to decide if I will keep it or go with something different. The worst things about this car are its weight, it's a guzzler, and the steering is schizo (super easy or super stiff, with no feel either way). Looking at a 428i Gran Coupe now which is lighter, better mpg, better trans, but without the V-8 growl and grunt.
Hey I had a question I was looking into buying or leasing this car what is leasing really I already have a ford I'm paying for but I would really love to lease this car instead of buyign it I just don't really understand the benefits of leasing
Thud Oof If you are like me and tend to want a new car every 3 or 4 years and don't do more than 10k to 12k miles per year, then leasing is your best bet. With a lease, you essentially pay the depreciated value of the car. The monthly payments tend to run anywhere from $200 to $500 less than a traditional 5-year finance. It really depends on what the dealer and/or brand is offering. You can typically negotiate how much money down you need to place, but that would obviously also affect the monthly payment. At the end of the lease, you can just give the car back, pay the disposition fee (approx $200-$350) and pay any excess mileage (can run anywhere from $.20/mile to $.30/mile over the allotment. With a lease, you don't really want to do any aftermarket modifications because if you intend to just move on to a new car at the end of the lease, then that's just money lost. And you also don't want to risk the warranty. At the end of the lease, as I stated, you can just give the car back. If you decided that you want to keep the car, then you would just have to pay the residual value (which would be stated in your contract) by either a cash payment or through a used car loan. If you do keep it and pay the residual value off, then you avoid the disposition fee and any excess mile fees. Hope this helps!
KEEP IN MIND - Audi typically doesn't offer strong lease deal off the bat.
Good luck!!!
Thank you so much. That was very helpful! I am definitely going to go with leasing. I appreciate the response back! Have a good day!
if you think BMWs turbo 4 is going to feel better than a N/A v-8 you will be extremely dissatisfied
The seats look awesome. I'm saving up for the M3 tho
BMW all way ✊🍻
Bi turbo would be insane. But sick. And insane.
6 speed manual. That's the only choice in my book. What's the point otherwise? Just get an automatic Jetta.
only other option iwould consider would be the S-Tronic.But since they don't offer it with the coupes, then manual it is.
@Rock7132 The 2012 coup is still a V8....the headlights look the same to me...the audi rep said there was little difference between my (late year) '09 and the 12 when I was at the dealership last month.
@DvidzS5 That's the one thing I'll really miss, plus you can always put money into it, and a V8 could potentially have a lot more power than a V6
@gar4ett3141 ok you are partially right. In USA you still got the V8 while here in Europe the new S5 got the V6 engine. (We also used to have the V8) And probably sometime in the future the S5 in USA will also have a V6.
@FitnessSurrender I already answered this once. In USA you still got the V8 for the S5 while in Europe they have already put the V6 in it.
I'm so used to them I hardly know they're there now. Maybe if it was a clear reflector it would be better. What messes up a look of a car is those dark gray plastics that Audi used to put on the outside of some of their cars in like 2002ish. They had them as side skirts too ugh
I know that abandoned shipping warehouse, it's in Oshawa - I taught my kids to drive there. Sadly, not in an S5.
Check out the C class and E class Mercs. Lots of plastics there too. Btw, the plastics in audi's, bmw's, merc's, etc. are not "cheap."
I have an A5 and I have had problems with it, electrical issues, water damage from sunroof seals that where defective, control arms that wore down at 60,000 miles. List goes on and on......
I'm actually really worried about reliability issues since they are pricey to fix.
I'm thinking of getting an S5 or RS5 that's 2-4 years old but I'm coming from Japanese cars like a Honda Civic, Acura TL and now a 2013 Subaru WRX STI.
Absolutely no problems ever with those and they have been really driven although not abused. My dad got a newer 535i xdrive last year and only issues. American cars break down too but they would be cheap to fix at least. Euro cars breaking scares me. lol
ciph3ro Just get a 2013 CPO S5 nicely equipped for under $50K with a 6 year/100K warranty.
Ovi Wan Kenobi
audis are great cars ,as long as you take care of the car youll be fine and yes they can be costly to fix but great cars overall,go with that rs5 :)
kevjones72 mine won't slip in first gear
MaGG LoC hey I’m considering buying one which is more reliable auto or manual?
The old '03 RS6 is a nice alternative if you can't afford this, and don't mind used. Same engine but bi-turbo. Quick ECU upgrade and it'll do 0-60 in just under 4 seconds.
i always listen to dubstep in my car,you have chosen good exaplme for those speakers,thanx :D
I think you can get the DCT in coupe form but not with the V8 it is paired with the same V6 Supercharged motor that is in the Cabriolet.
it goes for 10k euro where i live, im 19 and awrealy have 8 saved up, i woud totaly but it,.
or bmw 335I
You sounded like a wise kid..... untill the bmw part.
What did you get? Or still saving up ?
AJyfm700R no really those stock turbos are not reliable
Get the Beamer bro
I have so enjoyed watching your videos, but I would work on the use or usage of the filler word 'AH', You used the filler word 'AH' 49 times in 5 minutes and 58 seconds, which can really be irritating over the coarse of about 6 minutes...In public speaking the usage of the filler 'AH' is actually considered lazy. But your information about the vehicles, and the filming of the car in motion is very good and entertaining, thank you for your presentation!
I have the 6-speed DSG in my 07 A3 and I love it! Yeah a new user name is in order!
@stickdiggler, my 2012 CDN model S5 just arrived at the dealer. It does not have the new style headlights. They could of course still update sometime in the fall, but mine IS a 2012 model year (this was the first one ordered at my dealership back in May).
Kicks butt is a drastic over statement. Not to mention, even if your 3 series does outperform an S5, it's only worth about 20$ after purchased. Where as used S5s practically sell for list with 20k miles.
ive always loved this car but the complaints about over stear have certainly caused some concern. all and all still an audi fan boy
Thank you very much. I haven't found "the one" yet, so I might be asking you some questions before I decide.:)
This looks really old fashioned the new one looks great
Is it RELIABLE that is the only thing I am interested in knowing.
Light Surfer no
Heck, it’s a VW. What does that tell you? Nothing good. I have had my own share ( 4) of VW.
Jeez. Never again
Last Passat I put so much money into it, spent probably 5 weeks at the dealer, and yet couldn’t be fixed. Electrical problems that would shut down the engine or mess the ECU
Audi are the same. And also, slower than a Passat ( because of weight)
ughh. right now i'm deciding on whether to get an 09 A4 for practicality, or an 09 S5 for its amazing looks and sound!
i know i should get the S5, but the thing is it has really high miles, and idk how much money i'll be putting into it over the next year or so. uuughh im so torn between the two. someone help me decide :(
The V8 in the S5 has carbon buildup issues that are going to cost you a lot of money on a semi regular basis. Get the A4 and save yourself from a lot of headache
+Jordan F thanks for the help. But is it really that bad? Can I clean it myself with seafoam?
flintlights I'm having the same situation. I'm stuck between an a5 or s5 both with high miles and I don't know which one to get 😩
Not until 2013 in the United States. Only the cabriolet since 2011 in the US market.
Bugatti is also a glorified VW.. Oh, and Bentley.. as well as Porsche... and don't forget Lamborghini too, because it's owned by Audi, which is owned by VW
This guy must have the best job in the world!!
3 more years and this is mine!
hahah lucky you!
Tom Young did you get it ?!
DID YOU GET IT???
Did u get it??
did you get it??
copilot7777: As he mentions in the video, you can get the 7-speed S-tronic dual-clutch transmission in the Cabriolet model, which is what I just bought.
Thinking about a 2010 s5 110k miles everything done except control arms and water pump and engine what do you guys think?
I really like your reviews, thanks a lot !
How's the maintenance? And is it reliable ? I'm new to Audi and German cars
I found one of these hiding behind a business and I have been searching for the owner frantically. It looks like it was parked then forgotten or maybe the owner passed, the only number I have to track down the title holder is the VIN. I need tips that go beyond the obvious, I have been searching for 2 months with only dead ends. Thanks in advance , also the car is located in Central FL.
Just like a Rolls is still a Volkswagen and Bugatti is still a Volkswagen, right guys?
i really disagree i feel like people who guy luxury sports coupes are the people that care about all of the things he dismisses in the beginning of the video. people who don't care about practicality would just buy a roaster of sorts or a supercar (for those who can afford it)
I don't know about that...if you're looking for four seats, who's gonna look at a two door coupe? Also, if you're looking for fuel economy, are you really looking to achieve that with a V8?
Tungi Martyn
I can get up to 27 mpg in my manual 2010 S5 V8 being a good boy doing 65.
johnnyd83
Lol, I wish. Last time I saw upwards of 20 mpg on that car is when I'm letting off the throttle and coming to a stop. Fun car regardless
Amazing car here in 2024 hey 354 hp not 340 lol and it is the most beautiful Audi especially the 2013-2017 but just opinion based on the the day time running lights 🤷🏼♂️next to the r8 haha
0:30 that understeer lawllll bodyroll too
this guy has the best job in the world....
Great review, thanks Autoguide!
i kept trying to figure out why you prounce Audi the way you do, and then noticed the license plate midway through the video.
good cinematography
Just got one a week ago and I love it
What year? Currently looking at a 2010.
@@dontworryaboutit7817 2011 Premium plus
How many miles?
A very professional and helpful review! Does anyone know up until when exactly did the V8 S5 was produced in Europe and USA, prior to the restyled, downsized and ugly S5?
Cheers
Hahahahaha. I am one lucky guy I got to say I bought one of these s5 and man did i get so many positive compliments 👍 Great German V8
Leo Moretti would you recommend it over the 2013 v6t
Future classic
Doesn't Audi 4.2 V8 have the potential timing chain guide/tensioner issue that costs at least $6000 to repair? Or ones in S5 different from S4???
yeah.. get that despite that massive oil consumption what these cars tend to do! What a joy indeed..
This is my next car! Can't FUCKING WAIT!!!
I bought one and then
I WRECKED IT !!!!!
lol how did that happen? too fast?
huiunit Drunk !
man i will kill for this car.
@BigCivic - Correct - so far at least! Maybe there will be a 2012.5 model year in US/Canada if you've seen different pictures showing up though? Who knows (see my other post below)
yes
@jsmithd305 It has a moonroof, but it just props up and down.
How is this car long term, am about to buy a 09 but it has like 266km is this a good buy or walk from this car?
isn't the 2012 s5 a supercharged V6? if not i'm disappointed because I was looking forward to owning this coupe with a V6 otherwise I'm buying the S4
great reviewer, already subscribed to this channel :)
Old audis has issues. New ones are as reliable as a honda. I have a 2008 A4 with 115k miles and it's given me 0 issues apart from having to replace the ignition coils for ~$100.
I've heard too many bad stories about reliabilty and audi's, shame cos I was considering buying a s5
***** reliabilties of audis???? thats the most contradicting statement ive ever heard comparing audi to most other brands audis engineering is far past many others and there clutch system far exceeds any not sure who you talked to but they either drove the vehicle in the worste conditions all the time or had bad luck audi is not a CRAP name ive had my audi s5 two years and just went stage 2 on it and it runs amazing no problems at all got 72k miles on it right now i beat the living hell out of that car and compared to my mustang i used to own the mustang was junk i ran into issues all the time after beating it
I buy my Audi at 12000miles and now I got 199200 miles on my S5! Same engine, change the clutch only for a better one, I take care of her! Reliability? You can tell by yourself ;)
M.Dafutur I’m considering buying a S5 between 2007-2011 model, which is more reliable manual or auto?
