Audi S5.
What to Check Before Buying.

The Audi S5 is a premium sports coupe and Sportback that combines everyday usability with genuine performance credentials. Powered by supercharged V6 or turbocharged V6 engines depending on generation, it appeals to buyers wanting quattro all-wheel drive and upmarket appeal without stepping up to full RS models. Typical ownership involves higher running costs than standard A5 variants, and buyers should budget for premium fuel, performance tyres, and more frequent brake component replacement. Known areas requiring careful inspection include the dual-clutch gearbox on S tronic models and suspension components that wear faster under spirited driving.

⚠ Known issue
