I'd imagine a three year old RS5 makes more financial sense than a new S5.

As well as it being a nicer car.

I have to say, I really liked Nick's S4 Avant, wasn't too fussed by the S5, (looked like any A5 with more exhausts IMO) but this RS5 is luverly. :love:

Yes it makes more financial sense, especially as I love changing cars.

In five months the S5 lost 12k. I had to negotiate hard to get more for my S5. The RS has already lost the biggest wedge and ill actually have some equity in it when I come to change.

Very nice Nicky. Didn't see that one coming

I take it that you have plans already for a new car next year!

How does it compare to the S5?

I've just mapped my S4, so I reckon I could keep up in a straight line. Just never going to compete round corners or stopping by the looks of them brakes

We'd be neck and neck in a drag.

It's not hugely different to the S5 low down but up in the revs it pulls so hard and sounds glorious. Down shifts really make me laugh to myself.

I haven't pushed it hard in the bends but I reckon it will be much more composed than the S5 which was pretty damn good.

I'll get some proper pics and a write up posted next week.

I pick it up on Friday at 3pm.

What you done with your V Spokes?

Yes, that's quite a hit.

Over £2k per month though... wowsers!

Same as a lot of new flashy cars though.

Your plan with the RS gives you a better car for less suicidal depreciation.

Good move.

Not to mention, it's more rare/special.

Sold them already. Helped with the additional deposit on the RS to appease the mrs.

When you put it like that. Ouch! Certainly cost me a bit of money.

It is EPIC!

Looks very nice Nick,

I have done a few miles in them and they are great cars, and the sound!

Where did you get it from?

Oh and on a carefull run you can see over 30 mpg!

30 mpg from an RS5? lol lol lol

He couldn't get near 30mpg in the S5...

 

Glad you are enjoying it Nick.

£45 worth of fuel got me 90 miles.

Got it from Bath Audi. They have a dedicated RS guy there. It has a miltek on so is insanely loud in dynamic mode.

Looking very nice.

Very nice Nick, best of luck with it.  Looks very smart.

Two more doors and it'd be almost perfect.

I make that around 12-13mpg.

 

Must have been a good day.

The RS 5 feels very much like your GT-R the way it goes about its business, much different to the S5.

It would be nice to think Audi took the 5 and made the RS the best they possibly could.  So I can understand the feeling.

Where as the S is just to fill a gap in the range.

Make it better than an A5, but not too good to tread on the toes of the range topper.

That looks incredible. The seats!! Wow they look like they keep you in place

 

 

Kids are wwwwaaaayyyy to close for comfort lol

Nightmare getting out of them in my garage.

The doors look pretty big too, you must have a wide garage.

Lol my first thought too.

Nope. I have to hop out and in of it. Bloody difficult.

Dukes of Hazzard style!
