Another technological piece that I also need Auto Hold. 5. I feel Audi wants so as to add is direct TPMS. In 2019, not understanding what my tire strain is with out having to measure all four individually is inexcusable. If BMW and Mercedes are in a position to do it, I'm fairly certain Audi has the means to do it as well. It is a minimal cost within the grand scheme of issues. 7. The suspension on the S5 is absolutely incredible for a day by day driver. In comparison with the F30 and the Mercedes when it comes to consolation, I do not assume it is even fair. The S5 loves eating up the miles and does so with out sacrificing the comfort of the passengers. Now, that comes with a a small value. Personally, I believe the S5 must be a bit stiffer particularly in Dynamic. I additionally assume the S5 has no right being the identical experience top of a standard A5 coupe.
The S5 is suppose to be the 'sportier' choice. Lower it my 10mm or so to provide the S5 that sportier feel. What I am going to complain about although is the truth that the engine is means too far ahead of the front axle and there is just too much weight over the entrance wheels. The new diff coupled with the tie into the traction management system has considerably lowered understeer and keep the car impartial, however it remains to be there. The automobile actually does err on the facet of 'comfy' however I think it might be barely too comfy and it really takes away from from the sportier feel of the S5. I might honestly place the S5 proper in-between a BMW 3 collection and a Mercedes C Class. My private desire would just like the automobile to be just a tad more sporty in each mode, however especially Dynamic.
The wheel also needs extra weight in Dynamic. It is a bit too mild for my tastes in that mode. My largest complaint is that there is no such thing as a sense of emotion. You don't get any burbles or any drama. You get a 'fart' in between gear shifts and that is provided that you are flogging it. Driving a sporty coupe should be an occasion. I need pops and bangs. 8. Audi is lagging behind its primary opponents when it comes to performance choices from the manufacturing unit. BMW and Mercedes both have complete efficiency catalogues for his or her sportier vehicles just like the M340i and the AMG C43. If Audi would not want its clients to go out and purchase an aftermarket exhaust for example, it ought to provide it. I simply do not want to get flagged with a TD1. Audi's efficiency Catalogue is mainly carbon rear diffusor and carbon mirror caps. That's it. That's the extent of it.
LOVES to understeer. Even in a gradual corner and this car understeers. It's Really annoying. 60% of the load over the front axle doesn't to this automotive any favors. 10. Steering weight is horrible. The steering is simply too light. Feedback is alright however steering is too light. Again, sports coupe. I want a sportier really feel to the wheel. 11. Connectivity - Sucks and it is nugatory. The Audi Connect App is a joke. 12. The Voice recognition system is Worthless. Does your S5 have the Dynamic Steering? Is that why it feels as light? I really didn't thoughts the RS5 being light, since if I'm slogging by means of DTLA traffic, I want not having the car overwork me. I used to be ready to listen to some minor burbling but you are proper, at the least regarding the RS5 it's totally quiet, muted and I used to be barely in a position to choose that up when I used to be driving. Even the RS5 didn't have plenty of emotion to it, the tranny was a ZF but as my complaint with the F90 M5 is identical, ZF8 tranny is boring.
