Said good bye to the S3, and picked up the Ibis White S5 Sportback today from Belfast Audi.
As ever, perfect Customer Service.
Needless to say the photos do not do justice.
In addition to the car, the other half got a nice bunch of flowers:
and my 6yr old son got an audi teddy bear - he was more than happy.
First thoughts:
Exhaust note: love it, makes the S3 sound miserable
Power: completely different to the S3, comes in more of a surge
Virtual Cockpit: very good, but will take time to determine what view/setup I feel is appropriate
Audi Connect: a real PITA to get set up etc, but got there eventually
Audi Beam: they do actually look quite smart. They are the 4 rings not the word Quattro.
Extended LED: haven't actually had a chance to play with the colours, so can't comment.
I know you can't compare S3 vs S5, but the S5 just feels a more "grown up" car (or maybe just cause its new??)
I've yet to experience any substantial lag that has been spoken of, it will just take a while to get used to when the power kicks in.
One thing I have yet to work out, is......quite often I would drive the car in Efficient mode, when I turn the engine off and then back on again, the dash shows the word Efficiency, but the gear selection seems to go back to D1/2 etc.
Is there away of keeping the last one set?
thanks
