I'm looking to move from my 2017 RS3 to a new RS5. Found a lovely spec car in stock but it doesn't have the sports exhaust. What are people's thoughts on this? Completely avoid as its a must have?
Haha! Honestly, I'm getting to the stage where I'd rather not have the pops/bangs so I'm not too concerned.
I did however manage to find a stock car with most of the options I wanted including performance exhaust. Only thing I'm not too keen on is that it has a heated steering wheel (no flat bottom)... not sure I'm going to be happy with that but didn't think it was a deal-breaker.
any pics mate? LOVE the RS5Well I finally managed to collect my new RS5 last week (with sports exhaust). Obviously it's nowhere near as loud as the RS3 but I feel that's likely deliberate by Audi as its targeting a different market. My boy racer days are over! haha.
It's a big step up in refinement/comfort and although the RS3 was a fantastic all rounder, it wasn't a great long distance cruiser due to the exhaust drone, even in comfort. The RS5 by contrast is silky smooth and was a dream to drive at the weekend on a 200 mile journey.
It's deceivingly fast due to the refinement. You just don't realise the speeds you're up to until you look at the clock. For me, it's a better package than the RS3 but they both have their pros and cons. All depends where you're looking for.
