Default first time in an audi

hey guys, after 5 straight BMWs i got bored and decided to get two firsts; audi and a convertible. loving the car so far. the tech is awesome. getting used to a more relaxed ride (coming from a 17 M3 6spd) but loving it so far. still getting used to the audi MMI (cant search for a song on my iphone?? really?? lol) but overall seems pretty intuitive (other than the well known bug of top view reverting to a graphic instead of camera). details are 2018 S5 cab prestige. no DAP, kept going back and forth on that but decided against it. Coming from a BMW i wish the HUD had more functionality (music, phone). but overall loving the car

Still have my bmw water bottle 😬

Well what's not to like...that's a stunning color combination...but then again, I may be biased!

Default Audi's tech sucks...

Despite the enthusiasm of the Audi fans it is feature-driven, non-ergonomic and buggy. But these S5s are just plain better cars than the BMW 4 Series.

Welcome to the club. Have you discovered that there's nowhere to put your owners manual yet?

Not sure if it’s on all S5 models, but I have the sportback and there’s a small little “secret” compartment for the owners lower left of the steering wheel. Pretty nifty spot!

I keep mine in the trunk. Tucked into one of the elastic strap holders on the side. That way I can use the secret compartment on the left of the steering wheel to hold things that are actually useful when driving the car.

Not for cabrios....there's additional frame bracing that intrudes into that compartment JUST enough to make the manual not fit.
