Evan you and I have the same car, except the dynamic steering and rear seat airbags. BTW: How do you like the dynamic steering have you noticed a considerable difference between an RS5 that does not have it? Your car looks awesome! Thanks for helping and inspiring me.

Congrats on the car! Do you have the Black Rings and Badges on order I didn't see them in your pics. I had very little experience test driving the RS5 Sportback and the S5 Sportback without Dynamic Steering. I honestly kind of just took the communities advice of adding the feature. What I can say is i'm not disappointed at all with the steering of the vehicle. Very smooth and direct.

Yeah, they are on order as that was part of the deal for me to take delivery on Saturday. Am I assuming you're waiting for the break-in period? I don't - as I have own Audi's most of my life and never had any problems. This car is so much more "grown up" than other vehicles in its class IMO - the practicality is crazy. You get challenged at a stop light, the people in the other car can ride with you and their stuff while you take them and go to Costco after. Plus, it checks the wife box brilliant.

Yeah i'm taking it light the first 1000 miles. I figure better safe then sorry. I'll have plenty of time to really push the car. I'm already at 209 miles so should only take about a week and a half.

Yeah Nardo seems to be a go to color. I see a lot of Nardo RS5 Sportbacks but I've only seen a few with the Black Optics and Black Audi rings and Badges. I think many didn't opt for the Black badges initially and have since ordered them.

I love Nardo! The color changes depending on the lighting condition. At night the color looks deep and darker, in the sunlight it looks lighter and pops. Definitely happy with my choice.
