RS5 should have a much better gearbox. Gearbox of S5 felt... girlish. It felt like MB CLK: very soft, easy to change gear. For more agressive type of driving it is not really suitable. It seems like the handle can be broken easily of you get too emotioanl when driving. The clutch is a bit too long. You need to press it deep. I would prefer it to be shorter.
Other than that this car is perfect. Just add more output and you get a universal car that is suitable for both everyday use and extreme and agressive driving.
You got me even more excited about the RS5 with this great S5 review! Thanks!
