So just shy of a year and 7k miles the S5 is gone! It’s been a great car maybe the best I’ve owned with all the tech but my ownership experience was ruined by the issues with the sunroof, pretty much constant rattling and knocking - Audi eventually seemed to fix this in the past month by replacing the actual roof mechanism (over £1000 inc parts and labour - luckily I didn’t pay this after much arguing!) although even Audi themselves didn’t seem to think this would be a permanent fix and I didn’t fancy any more repair bills that I knew wouldn’t be covered under warranty.
A major service was also coming up and it needed 4 new tyres and brakes so when I got offered over 2k more than I paid for it I decided to part ways.
No idea what I’ll replace it with but I’m in no rush, I’ll likely wait a few months and see if car prices drop a bit. I like the A35’s and Golf R’s but I’m currently enjoying amazing mpg in a 1.4 8V A3 I’m sharing at the moment, admittedly missing the speed a bit
I’ve got a few bits taken off the car which will be going up on the classifieds if anyone’s interested, Audi Puddle Lights, Boot Liner and potentially my genuine carbon atlas interior inlays.
