Audi RS5

“it's a brilliant engine has a red line here of some 8,200 plus RPM yet even low down at 3,000 like I am now it's got plenty of pull and a very distinct soundtrack”

“a 4.2 liter v8 naturally aspirated 450 horsepower 316 pound-feet of torque and an 8500 rpm redline this is one of the most sensational engines I have ever driven”

“The 4.2 V8 is a master piece. Anybody that has owned this engine in any form in any car, knows it very well.”

“the car's main issue really for me from a sports car perspective is the fact that when you go to turn in that initial response just well it just isn't good enough”

“The B8.5 on the other hand is smooth and sticks to the curves like glue, with its typical quattro set up.”

“everyone says this thing under steers like crazy and I'm not surprised because the engine is way out front of the car”

“this is one of the most sensational engines I have ever driven in any car ever”

“And the sound, is just an orchestra.”

“rarely have I driven a car that feels quite so good quite so tuned in as this on this particular Road it is loving it and so am I”

“The interior of the B8.5 is one of, if not the best interior that Audi has ever made.”

“it's absolutely luxurious enough to be a daily driver”

“it's a very nice interactive and Hefty feeling car to drive it has a reassuring solidity about the whole thing”

“I'm not sure that there is another car that you can get that has an engine that feels that special”

“Find yourself a lovely B8.5 RS5 Coupe or an RS4 Avant from the same generation. Take care of it well, cherish it, and you will have all you need from a car.”

“for £15,000 you'd struggle to get a car that makes you feel like this”
