Not everyone drives like a rally driver you know.  |
The E92 gives you all that PLUS class-leading ride and handling.
As i've said, dynamics is very important for a sports car such as the A5/S5, maybe not as important for a luxury car like the A8, but in this segment, drivinf dynamics is the key.
Some key quotes:
"This feels a big, bulky car"
"The improvement is not immediately obvious"
"The steering is indeed more accurate... but it still feels aloof from the road"
"the A5 is disappointingly inert here"
"There's no joy in hustling it through bends" And finally why the A5/S5 is this way: "Why the dull dynamics? And why waste all that effort in developing the new platform? Audi's chief chassis engineer agrees with our assessment and would like things to be different, but Audi's marketing department insisted that the A5 must feel familiar to existing Audi owners"
