2017 Audi RS5 review
don’t have to drive the rs5 for long to realize that this is a car with a dual
personality if you’ve got it in auto mode and you’re driving in a sensible
manner it’s pretty comfortable for a sports coupe eh and the gearbox slurred smoothly between
shifts if however you flick it to manualmode and then put it to dynamic –
Sheldon everything up make it a bit louder this is a very very fast car that
nought to 60 time of 3.9 seconds we can totally totally believe but while this
thing does have fantastic grip the steering always feels a little bit
lifeless and though it is very precise and you know exactly where the nose of
the car is so kind of makes you want to things off a little bit calm
down and focus on the usual aldi good bit so this interior feels wonderfully well
screwed together and looks great th infotainment system has a rotary dial
between the seats which makes it really easy to navigate and speaking of
navigation the sat-nav is really simple to follow even if you’re somewhere you
have never been before like here we’ve now had the chance to drive the rs5 on a
wide variety of roads from urbaenvironment to motorways to these
wonderful twisting roads what we can tell from that is that this is an
incredibly accomplished machine you can crews come to me all day long you can go
incredibly quickly in a straight line and thanks for the Quattro four-wheel
drive the traction you get out of these hairpin bends is truly incredible what
you’re unlikely to find however is that last degree of fun that marks out a car
like an m4 competition pact for instance still if you want an all-weather express
with some practicality and truly shocking straight line performance the
rs5 is definitely well worth considering don’t forget to subscribe to what
