Title says it all.. Decided to give Audi one more chance..Just traded in the beast and will take the keys of a brand spankin new 2013 S5 tomorrow..
Checked out the RS5 but honestly, having had 450 hp for the last 10 years the only place I got to use it was between stoplights..
Hopefully this will be a trouble free machine.. lord knows, I deserve it.. finally..''
So, thanks for all the help over the years, I will now be calling the S5 forum home..
Hy Octane..
Over n out!!
Congratulations and BOOO at the same time (but with your share/lionshare of the issues, I am suprised you lasted this long...)

I drove an RS5.....after that the S5 does not do it! LOL...unless it's an S5 Cab, but the RS5 will be out with a convertible top.
The Sound of the RS5 engine is just nice!
But you'll love the S5....

Dang!- hate to see ya go ol timer..Enjoy the new ride
210K miles rolled
If you keep one key or the owners manual, you're still with the old timers....perhaps keep a rear floor mat, or a chunk of the DRC...

Sad to see the 6 gp, but the replacement isn't bad either.
Congrat's and Enjoy!
Interesting route you choose, 2dr after 4dr.
That 3.0 T is cool engine, I love superchargers, even do Audi is starting to replace it with 3.0 bi-turbo from next year.
In Europe, there isn't manual option for S5, I presume that in US is the same...
congrats! tune that thing
I understand the power issue. I have about 570-580 and use it fairly seldom.
Best of luck, I am going with Porsche next round myself and have had 1/8th the issues you have (as I now knock on wood).
