The S5 is a mature adults vehicle, and for that purpose it does everything as required. If someone wants frantic high speed thrills, living life on edge well then audi is not for them. The majority of people who will buy the S5, and have the money for a S5 will not be racing enthusuiasts. Its like how at my dads work place the car parks are full of ferrari's, ferraris that only get driven every other month
