The 2008 Audi S5 Is a V8, Manual Beauty

Mmmmmmm, pretty gurlz…

Bought a 2015 S5 with the supercharged v6 and its amazing. It has a split personality, sporty when you want it, and a cruiser also when you want it. This car does everything you ask of it.

I am thinking of getting the car but 2011 v8. 15k for it. I’m expecting to repair it. Thoughts on it?

I have the 2013 S5 V6T with custom exhaust and its amazing. It drives great, i’ve put on 50k miles and its on 140k miles now.

I also have carbon interior elements, flat bottom steering wheel, and apple carplay touchscreen (build in like its from the factory). I think those give the interior a real boost.

Its a dream

my headlamps stip things used to run all the time

I had a 2011 in 2011 Black on Black this thing was classy classy class and had a few unexpected situations that it easily handled 😅 Took sharp corners like a Boss . And the honeys were all about it too ❤ big value mine was auto but it was toight like a tiger 🐅

The car's designer is Portuguese, not Italian. A beautiful, classic/timeless design IMO 👍👍

Back when they were interesting and better built

Having red seats are not that bad man.

Come on doug, why do the 156 like that, there's nothing terrible about it. Ever actually driven one?

Another doug video another miss, not only do you put the key in that receptacle it also can be a push to start button. Also you can leave the key out of that receptacle have it in your pocket and just push the round button in the console. I love that I can count on Doug for door handles and funny clips good on everybody for making him wealthy for not much else

Manual v8 with AWD 🤤. It would’ve been legend if they had produced a rally car version. Perhaps a good project car idea.

Do an A6 TDI s line. 5.3 second 3l diesel. Go ahead, you'll actually like it

Alfa 156 was car of the year and had by far the best suspension and powertrain dynamics in its category for front wheel drive cars. Walter da silva is spanish. Clearly you are either misinformed or did not do your research but I guess its always easy to downgrade an Alfa cause it sounds like you know what you are speaking about. A5 is a great car btw.

MT still the best anti theft system in America.

i have a 2008 silver on red, auto

Still looks beautiful even today, you can also count regular A5 Coupe in this statement. I feel like car design reached it's pinnacle like ten years ago, and it's just random SUV's and ugly futuristic looking electric cars now.

Long term reliability? You know Tyle had to put thousands into that thing to make decent

Coil packs are an issue. But replacements are $28 dollars USD at the time of this comment.

i have a black on black with the six speed 09 s5

Which aftermarket exhuast is that ?

Audi goes hard

You should do a review on the 2010 automatic model

"They still make the S5, but you can only get it if you're a bee-atch, driving a V6, with a slapdick transmission!" - What Doug wants to say

Wow. The equivalent of a Camry from 4 years later in terms of interior

Still one of my Favs. Had a black one for a few years, but made space for kids. Mine had red/black interior though, those all red seats are kinda hideous to me.

I want it in black.

Walter Desilva, the design genius, all of his cars are timeless. Alfa 156, Seat Leon mk2, Audi A5, etc.

just bought one of these lol

That video was very interesting ! I'm planning on buying one of these this year ! I live in Canada East, if anyone has any recommendations or tips you are welcome !

Also , what other car can compare to this one ? I love the v8 manual 4WD but my knowledge is limited, especially for European cars.

My 2016 Passat has that iPod connector 😂

Was never a fan of the silhouette of these, always felt that they looked like a 4 door design with 2 doors cutoff rather than a purpose built 2 door..

Great video

gorgeous? it s fugly

I always loved this car, and preferred it to the RS5. This was the perfect daily driver, especially if you only can have one car.

Please review the rs5 v8

I have one of these with an auto. Wish it was manual but love everything else about it. Also the back seats aren't that bad, I have short friends and put them back there all the time

Someone was pretty tough with this car. You can tell they never bothered to condition the leather seats or anything. Lots of wear all over it. The interior would looks 10x better on a more well-kept example, literally.

i have the Audi A5 2014 Quattro and i love it.

does every ugly car, which has an V8 and is manual and european is a beauty? :D
Doug, the most european vehicles are manual.

So glad Doug finally decided to review this car. I love my '08 S5 😊

I have a 09 a5 with the 3.2
Very problematic, but damn it looks good so i baby it. Dream car is the older gen rs5.

Now do the 3.0 TFSI so when I buy this one it’ll be a future classic plssss daddy doug 🫣

No hate but the rs5 2008 in europe comes with a manual

This car proves the car industry is a dumpster fire

I drive this car and I had no idea the center console is adjustable

Owned a 2012 s5 v8 for 4 years. What an incredible vehicle. Shockingly reliable to boot. Only problem with it was you couldn’t look at it while driving🤣

Agreed even the original Quattro ur is still a thing of beauty

Definitely was one of my favorite looking cars back in 2008 & it sounded exotic with a aftermarket exhaust. However they were just too damn slow
