Just make sure that you store the settings ahead of time. If you bring the car in for service and someone moves the seat/mirrors/etc., you either have to hit the button that you used while the door is still open to return to those settings, or hold the button down if you've already closed the door. If you already closed the door, you'll see a message on the MMI telling you to hold the button while it returns everything to the stored settings.

Well I have a Cayman and an FD RX-7 she doesn't and can't drive, since they're both manuals. So I gotta let her drive something!

She has a '18 MB that she likes (but doesn't like it as much as she likes the S5) that she drives, so, she's ok. she used to own an A4, yrs ago. Honestly, she'd rather have someone drive her to work and back, but that's not going to happen

This is a combination of about 100 "little things" in the car design, but I continue to be amazed at what a smooth commuter the S5 SB with adaptive suspension is when set in comfort or auto. Even with the 20" rims, it is 90% as comfortable as the D4 S8 I used to own, and far better than the B8 S4 with DSG and fixed suspension. It's a really nice place to be when stuck in traffic.

I love the way my garage smells after I get home and park my car in there. It's got that racing scent.

I agree, and I compared the ride to my B8 A4 with sport suspension and 18"/19" wheels in another thread. With 19" wheels, the S5 in both Comfort and Auto is more compliant than my A4 with 18" wheels. In Dynamic, it is somewhere in between the ride of my A4 with 18" and 19" wheels. The suspension does a very nice job of soaking up bumps while limiting body roll to an acceptable level.

Just discovered when you press the little odometer button the odometer and trip meter flashes for a second in the VC regardless of which view you're currently on.

Markings on the back of the summer or winter mats identify where they belong!

I knew the front reading lights dimmed by holding them down but my kids just discovered that the rear lights do the same if you hold down the button.

Just purchased a 2019 A5 Sportback about 4 weeks ago. Second Audi after my 2016 SQ5 so now have an eight ring garage! Cool feature is the foot motion open/close feature for the rear hatch as well as with the Smart Key. Makes it easier when you've got your hands full and need to open or close the hatch.
