I love the A/S5 DRLs. Best in the Audi range IMO.

Some thoughts:

The kick down feature is nicer than the S4. It appears to tally disengage before shooting you off whereas the S4 started pulling whilst the kick down was engaging. It's only a little thing but it gives a wallop of torque with the passenger totally unaware. It feels slightly quicker and more planted. I'm enjoying having tech pack high as well as all the other nice options it has.

It looks a lot more aggressive as well from the front. I'd say on a par with the B8 RS4 from the front. I think it's the way Audi have designed the position of the mirrors.

Like for like there's not a lot of difference to the S4 and its mainly the spec which makes this S5 nicer. Overall I'm very pleased.

You were right about tech pack high being worth it. I'm really enjoying it.
