Default 2016 Audi S5

Just left the Lexus family. Had the 2007 Lexus GS350, but moved to the Audi just last Sat. Loved the Lexus with the 400 miles to the tank, hate the Audi with only 275-300 to the tank. Only cause I am driving it pretty hard. Love the supercharge it has. It is a CPO 2016 Audi S5 with only 14818 when I picked her up.

Plans in this order: ceramic coating, clear bra front end, drop, exhaust.

Here are some pics:

Congrats! I had a 2015 S5 that I bought brand new and it was an excellent car. I see that you have the Black Optic package..nice! The supercharged 3.0 engine is superb and Quattro was awesome during winter.

No RC 350?

Admittedly, the S5 is the better performing of the two and I might have done the same. Lexus needs to get new engines desperately in their mass cars.

Enjoy your car!

Similar paths. I traded my '13 GS F-Sport for a '15 Audi S5 in Florett Silver (same as yours). It is an outstanding car! I've since traded it for a '17 A4, but I still remember what a great car it was. I understand what you mean about miles to the tank. I was filling up my S5 every few days, but hey... gas is cheap! Beautiful car! Congrats, and enjoy!

Still holding it's own well. But with the all-new S5 a few months away, I would have waited for the improved model.

OP got a CPO 16', not new one, so it should be very good saving vs a newly released S model from Audi.

Dudes, is that the Audi muscle car? What kind of HP does it have?

Probably about $100K to buy, right?
