Test Drove the S5 today for like 30 minutes
Today, I went for my 25,000 mile maintenance with the A6 Avant.
While I was waiting for them to finish the service, my salesman asked me what I wanted to test. I said - there's an S5 there, how about that?
He said - just give me your driver's license and the name of your insurance. I did. He started the car and drove the S5 to the back, and he said "Take it and go for a joyride, just don't get a ticket".
The S5 is rated 4.9 sec 0-60MPH; while the S6 is rate at 5.1 sec from 0-60MPH. Boy! Boy! Boy! I was up 105 MPH in few seconds and I was pretty careful as cops were all over for the Thanksgiving road trips that most people do. If I had my Valentine One, I'd probably hit 120 MPH for sure. The S5 was pretty comfy for long rides. The back was a little bit cramped (I was expecting a more spacious legroom). The trunk space was big enough. Downshifting from 5th gear to 4th gear on the highway was a blast. That little V8 engine was just awesome.
