RS5 Owner from today

Post by Silverfox42 » Tue Jul 28, 2015 8:03 pm

...but been on this forum for many years with my RS4!!

Loving the first day of RS5 ownership, and the ABT zorst is awesome sounding...

Much more up to date inside and very comfortable and sedate, yet ferocious when you want it to be. B&O system better than BOSE in the B7 IMO.

One poor picture to start - more to follow when the paintwork has been sorted.

Given her a clean today after a few hundred miles this week - really pleased with the paint and how the Grey reacts with the sun.

Only minor issue is a very slightly warped rear disc which the dealer is going to sort for me this week along with sorting the alloys which were not as good as described.

Otherwise, really pleased and although not as hardcore, I am preferring this to my old 4 already - I must be getting old!

Not as hardcore as the B7? In what way? Gearbox?

Gearbox is awesome, but this car is bigger and heavier, so handling not quite as sharp. Power delivery is breathtaking and ABT exhaust is just right.

One of the best moments in my life when I had mine Audi. I was top of the world that day. Have a great Audi life.
