An RS5 Appreciation Post

I still can’t believe I own it. 6 months, no issues. More gas but more smiles :joy:

It will be a year for me in November, still like day 1. I’ve never suffered even an ounce of buyers remorse.

@Annual-Duty-6468 Have not had any issues. As far as my research went, the engine is pretty robust. Since it’s NA, for city driving the engine is never stressed. Lots of them over 100k miles (mine has 70k) for sale which is a good sign. I am still waiting on some audi electrical issues but no issues so far

Make sure to clean out the drainage holes in the sunroof. I have never done this maintenance before in the billion cars I’ have had prior, two of mine are having issues — and my rs5 is coming to the tune of 6 warning lights, probable ECU (I think ours in the spare tire well) or a multitude of electrical modules with water damage.

It was between a B8.5 RS4/5 & D4.5 S8 for me (I know, who cross shops that?), one day I’ll have a go in a B8.5 haha. Such good looking cars, and incredible sounding engine.

Honestly, for a more plush ride I can see the S8 being unreal. This one is a little stiff but I guess it’s the price you pay!
