| Re: EVO drives the S5 S5 has fallen short of some journalists expectations but A5 is still a great car.  |

| Re: EVO drives the S5 I actually thought the S5 got a fairly good write up in EVO, certainly a lot better than many of the other reviews. I think a lot of the reviews have been pre written, it all harks back to the same thing, poor handling, nice interior blah, blah, blah. The same with the quoted Audi engineer who apparantly confirms to journalists that the handling could be a lot better but it has been designed to act like an Audi by the marketiung department - Sorry but I just dont buy it. It depends what you want from a car, The A5/S5 is there to go head to head with the BMW 3 series coupe, Merc CLK etc. What are the pre requisites? It looks good doesnt it? Performance I would have thought comparing with the competition is excellent. I do believe it has been pulled back slightly to allow the RS5 to come in and compete withthe new M3 - but is the S5 really that far away? |
