The 2011 Audi S5: before you buy

Before you sign for the S5
NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Owners filed 13 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, power train and unknown or other; have those parts checked. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
What the specs mean
The 3.0L 6-cylinder supercharged does the work, through a 7-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 35 litres, from its 11.8 L/100 km rating. A 300 km weekend costs about $61.95 in energy at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,100 a year for 15,000 miles.
Practical details
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. The EPA lists 283 litres for luggage, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who rents the S5
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country.
A longer test drive
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. If the S5 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$4,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $206.50 at our price setting.
Choosing the right one
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Within the 2011 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
