Fast and smooth car. I had mine for 2 years it was a 2012 S5 prestige convertible. Service is too expensive. $2000 for a water pump at the Audi dealer. $250 oil change. The car is very heavy and takes longer to stop. My 3.0T supercharged engine blew at 117K and they want $7K for a new engine. Guys these cars are beautiful, fast and exiting but if you’re a regular guy with regular income I don’t recommend buying one of these. If you decide to understand you are taking on the responsibility of high maintenance and a stupid high cost for repairs. I am not going to replace my engine because it costs as much as the car is worth so now I have a boat anchor. If you buy one of these cars and don’t have 10K in bank on reserve for maintenance and repairs you will most likely fail at owning the car as I have.Jul 04, 2024
