The S5 2009 2010 is a great car. Outstanding looks, excellent interior, material quality and finishing; High tech, with everything to be expected from a Audi. When you enter this car, you just forget about the 335i/M3 seriesThe things that should be worked: A AWD sports cars is never as good as a RWD. The AWD makes the car heavier, compromising the balance due to heavier front; the acceleration and high speed performance besides increasing fuel consuption. Besides that, in my opinion, the big V8 could be replaced by a bi-turbo V6, lighter, with the same output or more, being lighter and faster, with better balance.In general, when AUDI understands that the S and RS cars must be RWD, with compressed engines (compressor or bi-turbo), they will come to a position where BMW and MB will be out of question. This way, they will have lighter cars, with better balance, acceleration and high speed performance, with much fan to drive.The 2009 S5 is a 2-door, 5-passenger sports coupe, available in one trim only, the Quattro. S5 is equipped with a standard 4.2-liter, V8, 354-horsepower engine that achieves 14-mpg in the city and 21-mpg on the highway. A 6-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard, and a 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is optional.
