The audio in this video was recorded with in-ear binaural microphones. If you wear headphones, your mind won't be blown, but it will go, "woah."
I'm also the producer for the Winding Road TH-cam Channel:

TheTopher on TH-cam is the place where I share my personal automotive (and some other) adventures. Whether it's about any of my personal cars or reviews on weekly test vehicles, the goal is to give you an idea of what a certain car is like to drive and live with. Most of my videos are filmed in POV, with my clothes on, and (for like the 5th time) with in-ear binaural audio, - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

I know that she was going back and her home 🏠 she has to get home 🏡 she has to get home 🏠 night
Up and stuff stuff and I have stuff for her food 🥘 she will go to go go get back you can go go to go
So A and S Audi cars both get brembo's?
How much does it cost? (In dollars $)
TheTopher do u live in ann arbor i see my hometown in this vid
-Looks super sleek
-Sounds great for an inline 4
-Great acceleration
-Amazing gauge cluster, very configurable
-Dash board is dope, button layout looks ergonamic as hell
-Looks to be great at handling corners
-Brembo breaks
I want one
Whiskey Bottle Proper 12 whiskey is better
I’ll take the S5. Just can’t live with a 4-banger.
Same, maybe ill get a s5
Finally, someone that's not SCARED to push the car to it's limits and give a wonderful commentary! Nice video.
lol fro real man feel in love with that sound pedal to the metal !
@@veedog5384 its audio boosted but still:)
Not the first POV video I've watched today 😏
Rofl
Hahaha,nice1.
Andrew Schuster lol😉. I know what you mean
Andrew
Andrew Schuster your profile pic fits perfectly👍🏻
Audi is some of the best engineering, I'm impressed.
It is so until your DSG transmission goes bad. Had 2 VWs and 1 Audi and they all had at least 1 DSG transmission replaced under warranty(thank God) - my 2015 had to get that replaced twice over the course of 62k miles. Now I've had my X3 for about 57k miles and the transmission has never even jerked on me.
@LUKE SXHC How could you get it all the way through 300k kilometers without replacing the dual clutch? The owner's manual itself says it must be replaced every 200k kilometers(but I've literally never seen anyone get past 80-100k without having to get it replaced, to be honest).
@LUKE SXHC Probably you had luck and he had bad luck.
@@felipeteixeira7169 passat b7 2011 170hp, 2,0tdi with highline paket and DSG. 200k kilometers right now, and i dont have any problems with my DSG. the trick is to FLUSH the oil dont just change it you have to flush the dsg-oil. if you only remove the screw and let it flow out for example we have 10 liters in there, atlreast 4-5 liters will stay in. so the old oil is mixing with the new oil and thats not good for the dsg. so always flush it. here in germany i paid for everything (including filters and new oil, working hours were 3) 320€. and you really feel how good it shifts after.
@@felipeteixeira7169 You have to be preventative with that DSG bud
This is my favorite POV driving video ever.
5:00 - 5:30 is the best part of the entire video, wish that was me behind the wheel 😩
Perfect video to wake up to!! I just picked up my $400 dollar Civic and I can't wait to go for a drive by myself lol!
what?? you can buy a civic with $400 dollar in where you live? :o
Bron Karbunov I live in Canada. Well I got it from an old lady, it's in really good shape, no rust.. everything works, the only thing that sucks is the 12.2 second 0-60 time lol.
albert7139 400$? It must be from the 90s
55 hp im guessing xd
Hux nope, it's a 2000. Has 240,000 miles but has no rust interior is mint, ice cold A/C too.
Your video helped inspired me to buy this car, thanks. 2 years and twenty thousand miles in, best consumer decision I ever made.
Still got it? How is fuel economy on it?
I still get immense pleasure from driving my 3 year old 2014 A5. It's just such a satisfying car
this car is amazing! 4 cylinder sounds like it has a v6.
Audi ASMR
Forces de Libération du Québec lmao right
Looks amazing.
I can feel it how good its audi felt like while you drive...
I love this a car. Bought it 1 year old. Now has 36,000 miles on it and it runs like a dream!
You know what really grinds my gears?
Undertaking!!!!
I love that you kinda of thrash on these cars. Nothing gives you as good of an idea of what a car is like to drive than a solid POV! Yours are the best by far.
Silver looking car... gosh..
Makes cars look sooo much older
БΞΛТ ТłMΞ Black will be better
absolutely
БΞΛТ ТłMΞ I don’t see that... but okay
in a bad way?
Nothing could be blander , except perhaps a silver Camry.
Really couldn't care less what others say. This is my dream car. Love my good ol' S-classe, but there's something about the A5 that just makes me warm and fuzzy inside
You're right that the screen *should* tuck away. I've been saying this since I found out it couldn't do it. When it's off the cockpit would look so much cleaner without it.
+MrCarGuy20 the weird thing is the Q7 I have this week tucks away on shutdown and when you push the button. It does clean things up a bit, especially with the Audi Virtual Cockpit.
and doesn't the screen tuck away in the A3?
A3, Q7, A6, A7 - it does. New Q5,A4,A5 - it doesn't. Those practical Germans, they did it because they found out that people rarely tuck it away...big mistake if you ask me, I would play with it all the time lol
Hey
Screen doesn't hide. US regulations require that the reversing camera must be turned on as soon as reverse gear i engaged. Audi(and all other brands) in Europe also have a screen on top - by your law in the US we have this screen in Europe too.
Greetings from Poland.
Wait, cars are REQUIRED to have backup cameras now or what?! What happened to just looking over your damn back
That launch was impressive! Really good vehicle.
And this is how you review a freaking car! Great video.
Such a great review video. It felt as if I was test driving it. I love the clever first person view. I've been wanting this version of an Audi for awhile now and this video reminded me why I fell I'm love with Audis in the first place. Yes, this is also the car for me
Lacita Fleming Did you manage to get it? :)
I agree with what you said my dad bought an Audi A5 yesterday and we both love it
Will 1509 I wish I was blessed like y'all
the highway turn was so satisfying
this is perfect lol, i came to see performance and luxury and u showed me the performance and luxury... thank u lmao
Lmao love your comment
I like that this is not your everyday car review but that he pushes the car a little...very nice
Early evening sunset is the perfect time to review cars, Gopher.
It kills 2 birds with 1 stone. If I may
This convinced me I don't need to dish out extra for an S5
Wow. This just popped into my recommendation and I think I've officially found my new addiction. These videos are strangely satisfying to watch.
I agree. It’s calming! The scenery..sunset is beautiful Lol. And I feel like I’m in the car with him
The interior of these newer Audi's is really nice
Just picked up my 2019 A5 Sportback 45TFSI and its a blast. 10/10 love
I have a 2016 and it’s literally the love of my life 🤩
Had mine a week now, love it. Upgraded from the last A5, the extra tech really makes it for me.
Hi dou you have any accelaration lag? Ive bought a A5 2 weeks ago, without test drive, im little nervous
zeroWolf ive got 252, auto and Quattro. I absolutely love it. Initially I didn’t feel it was quick, but you soon learn how to use it. I am probably going to get it remapped, including the gearbox.
There is a little bit, but s-tronic is superb and I have zero regrets.
@@Shyted i mean i watched 100 POV videos and i didnt noticed any turohole, okay maybe a little delay is understandable but i thougt for a 245HP engine no worries, them a came across a vid and the dude coplaned about accelaration delay and i got worried, as long as it is not 2 sec or so is good
Ty for reply
zeroWolf what do you currently drive?
I love Audi’s and this car is just beautiful
I have the base (premium) Sportback A5 and it is a perfect all around car. Feels like a sports coupe, room in the back for home depot runs, looks amazing
These videos are way tooo addictive! I thought im not that much of a car guy, but man these videos are making me one
Wow....I like how, from 2.500rpm up it sounds like a V6!
v4 turbo its just a light car !
@@veedog5384 It is not a V4.
That sound, when you click on any button ,are so nice...
Sounds pretty good actually.
Great video! Keep it up
so many reviewers baby the car you did a good job showing its acual abillitly
Best car review I’ve ever seen, Hands down.
Thank God you actually test the car whilst show us the ar amazing vid bro
Just wrong how you get half a million of views and "only" 27K subscribers. Come on, let's give him some proper love, the guy deservers it!
Man, you really are doing some super nice work. Keep it up!
German technology is the best!
Good joke
Lmao
@@adamd.9127 Nope
Adam D. It may not be the most reliable or functional, but in terms of pure technology it is.
Mikaclaus stop it kid
I like how you treat streets like race tracks.
3:27 Every video I watch where you go around that corner my head goes completely sideways when you're turning haha love the sound of the engine though I keep expecting the DSG farts
Im getting the 2018 version of this in the 1.4 engine range! This video really has got me excited.
you right that it's easy to drive, my dad got an A5 too, but as a "sportback" with 270hp and four doors. So last week we went to a place were underage people are able to drive. so i could drive even i am only 16 years old (in germany you must be 18 to drive) and it was so mich fun to drive it! Btw you got one sub more, this channel looks awesome ;)
thanks for your great videos you inspired me to do POV driving videos as well but Im not old enough to drive yet lol so I do a gta 5 parody of what you do
hahaha, I just watched it - you ended in the parking structure and everything! awesome
Can you please do a review of the Enus Windsor?
larphraulen coming right up
You have to make sure you do a cabin space review, by getting a hooker.
Xenon Games q
Audi just has some gorgeous interiors.
Audi makes the best quality slick interiors
Still the best sounding turbo4 on the road in my opinion!
I like how you just rolled past the stop sig without stopping after you came off the highway, but still the Audi a5 seems to be a fantastic car
U mean the red light? That allowed in America,
For some reason this is very relaxing to me
It is a great car. My sisters boyfriend uses this car and whenever i sit in it its just awesome feeling
literally my favourite car now
Audi 2018 sports back, sunroof, turbo, 4 doors, white color a lot of safety options, stability super good, 60m/4 sec, CD players, radio, gps navigation map, best car to own and for many years, it also gas economic 30m /gal in city , 34 plus on highway, driving options sporty, comfort. Cannot have better car, extremely comfortable, enjoyable to drive., love it😉 vroom vroom...
I currently have a 2013, shes getting towards 115,000 miles but i love her :)
Ugh I have a 2009 A5 I’m so jealous but I still love mine and she still looks brand new 😍😍😍 great video man
Damn bro/ you take the car to the limit. WELL DONE
finally a guy pushes the car, subbed.
As a 19 year old someone who works at an Audi dealership as a lot attendant, I'm not allowed to take cars off the dealership lot for any reason because of "dealership insurance reasons" which is bullshit since I've heard of other Audi dealerships allowing 19 year old lot attendants to drive cars off lots on dealer swaps and such. But not me! I get to drive them at a maximum of 10 mph around a parking lot. But I get to drive everything. A3's, S4's, RS5's, SQ5's, everything at this point with the soul exception of the R8 (which is pretty good for only four months of employment). It's kinda refreshing seeing what a regular A5 can do on a road, I never knew the base model car was so quick!
Great video, first time I'm really impressed by the way someone does a POV-video. Thumbs up
Best review I've seen so far !!! Thanks !
Audi is in the top of the Car Market
I'm new here. This video had great quality. And me not too familiar with Audi, I've learned something today.
What a beautiful car. Love the power. What a dream
The best car channel ever! I enjoy your videos alot mate! Excellent review of the vehicle, detailed explanation and just fun to watch. Well done mate!
Hoping to pick one of these up soon for $25-30k with 40-50k miles. Seems like the perfect daily driver.
Wow looks like a great improvement from previous models
I finally figured out where my owner's manual was located.
That’s a beautiful car. The silver is gorgeous
thank you so much, i am a new driver and trying to buy a mazda 6 here, but at the meanwhile i like the engine sounds of this car(even though i dont know much about car haha) :3
Great sound for a 2 litre 4 cylinder.
Interior is so so beautiful
Top notch quality!
I want to see more of this :)
Just watched 2 of your pov vid's and imediately subscribed!
Best Camera Positioning Ever
Better than Mercedes in my opinion.
That random guy lurking in the comment section but not better than bmw because bmw ranks #1
watchout guys we got a badass bmw fan here :3
huh? have you seen the latest e class?? how is this any better or anywhere close to the merc
This is basically a vw passat with an audi badge and nice stuff. even the unreliable bmw is way better than this audi
hahaahahahahahah..... no!
I test drove the A5 and the S5 today, and even though the S5 has the extra 100hp, I liked the A5 more as a daily. Everything said in this video is true.
3:25 - 3:45 is just like ✅❤️
Holy shit that thing launches so fast? German 4-cylinders are crazy.
The S5 sportback is damn tempting.
very nice video, calm and good testing and showing.. thank you
That transmission is awesome.
Great video and lovely car! I'm a big fan of the new gen Audis, especially the B9 A4 Avant and the 2017 A5 Sportback! Great cars, the 252 is maybe a bit overkill but of course there's never too much power haha :D
danI43541 what are u? 252 horsepower is over kill? Jesus my car feels slow and it's more than double that... people need some balls
@@phillipberk5767 Right? I feel like this car should be at least around 350 for the price.
@@ratedm90 I would say 350 may be a little high for an A as S line is making that, but I would say a solid 300, and 380 for the S, as that is what the m340 makes
@@phillipberk5767 My a4 makes 200 and it’s so slow. So 300 is solid I think.
I like the 0-60 at the traffic lights.
This video best quality i ever seen
damn you really drove the shit out of it...nice pov man.
best review on yt
Great video. And the A5 looks great in silver!
Nice review 👍I ordered my A5 which arrives in August, looking forward to it.
A5's getting so good these days I don't know whether I should even consider getting S5 at all.
Picking mine up tomorrow!!!!
What a great video! Thanks for an outstanding review and drive.
Never cared for Audi in terms of looks, but these new models are very nice
The rs4 and rs4 have one of the best interior
You’ve got to get your hands on the RS3. It’s insane
AUDI is the best man!!
