Enough upvotes on this video and my brother and I will make a sick Audi S5 Coupe versus Audi S5 Sportback comparison video! Thanks for your support

I updated the grille to an RS5 Style grille: kzread.info/dash/bejne/amGkpcWeebzLcZM.html

Great video! Thinking of getting one of these next. Currently have a C7 RS6 which is phenomenal but I do miss the tech in the newer Audis

Nice Video John! I love my 2018 Audi S5 Sportback.

Great job with this 🔥

Great video! True points. Ive had mine for almost 6 years now and its treated me greatly! Maintenance costs are significantly much lower when you dont go to the dealer. You definitely need to be willing to pay more in maintenance to keep these cars running and in good shape, but theyre worth it imo. You get a lot of car for the money, especially second hand. Especially if youre in a place that gets snow. Awd is needed. The coupe is more practical than you think, ive fit 4 wheels and tires before and actually used it to move and pickup furniture haha.

Great review

Good stuff man! Wish I had your patience when it comes to modifying instead of going full derp on everything from day one lol

as someone who grew up all-round the car industry and dealerships... the comment above money is correct. Now, sometimes that is easier said than done, but always remember; it is easier to stay out of debt than it is to dig yourself out of it. Don't take on a payment you cannot afford.

Agree with the coupe 👌🏼🤛🏼

This is a great review. I bought a 2017 A4 with no mods…yet. Thinking about doing an IE stage 1 tune. I’ve thought about changing to a S4/S5. Thanks for the review. I’m also a Penn State Alum. Go State! Wish we pulled a W yesterday against OSU

Would definitely recommend stage 1! The one I have got an update and now there's even more crackles and burbles but the extra power is definitely appreciated. In regards to PSU: they hung on long enough to give us hope then got intercepted.. the defense is amazing but the offense is inconsistent and unfortunately we've lost too many times this season to make anything of it. Maybe we'll have a nice bowl game though.

Great video crazy how we have the exact same spec and also from the same exact area in pa 😂😂

Yoooo! I've seen your car parked in the town (I don't wanna name it) as I walk to one of the small bars. I recognized the "OBAMA" license plate, and even took a photo with my buddy of it! Look out for a C7 A6 with some supercharger whine! Enjoy the drive brother!

Hey how are you doing? You have a fantastic yt channel. May i ask you a little question? I'm a pa student in Germany and i was wandering is my degree valid in order to practice as a pa in the states? Do you have any information about it? In case let me know thank you very much 😁❤️

Nice ride

youre the first reviewer who called out the non integrated infotainment screen. It doesnt look like it fits the dash. Like its an aftermarket part.

was the stage 1 tune a plug and play at home install? easy to do? did it affect any reliability with the car? or only perform better? thanks in advance, loved the vid, great review

@JohnThePA

Жыл бұрын

Yes, Stage 1 is a plug & play home install. You just need a laptop and the cord/software they provide. My brother did Stage 2 on his S5 Sportback and that required some modifications on the car itself.

What is your coverage with geico like they quoted me 525 a month for 6 months yours is only 625 for 6 months!?

@JohnThePA

Жыл бұрын

Currently $701.32 for 6 months now. I have full comprehensive & collision with a $500 deductible. $300K for bodily injury to myself / $300K injury to others. $100K property damage coverage. $300k uninsured or underinsured motorist. $30/day car rental reimbursement ($900 max). Emergency Road Service coverage. Geico applied $372 in savings to my account for paying in full once every 6-months, a good driver discount, and a few more things. The minimum coverage in Pennsylvania is $15,000 bodily injury; $5,000 property damage; under/uninsured motorist of $15,000/person so my plan definitely exceeds those minimums at a price that works for me. I could always apply up to 500k or more for some of those categories (or remove the deductible) but then that comes with higher premiums. Insurance costs will vary heavily depending on your area, gender, how old you are, etc.

The coupe looks far better than the sportsback.. I hate the look of the sportswagon... i mean sportsback
