I have a 2019 RS5 sport back and don’t hear any rattles, I’ve had many cars that did, but one of the many things I like about this car is the quality fit and finish rattle free interior
I have a 3+ yo 2019 RS5 SB with 33,500 mi (54,000 km) on the odometer. The build quality is superb. I don't have any of the squeaks and rattles that Jason mentions. I have a few "complaints" not worth mentioning (because they are more personal than universal), but the issues of the tuning of the suspension and the transmission are items of note. Those tunings aren't bad; they just aren't quite up to the superb standards of the rest of the car. Otherwise, the review is spot-on. As a DD/GT, I don't think this car can be beat. I know of folks who track the car bone-stock, and in the hands of a capable driver can beat the pants off an M3/M4 or an AMG C63s (I'm not one of those drivers). And, as far as looks, he is right on all counts. I know I am not the only B9 RS5 owner who can't resist turning around and admiring their own car as they walk away from it. Finally, let me state what I think is the most beautiful element of the cars styling and design, that I have never heard anyone else say: that hood line. With its sharply sloping nose, it makes it look like the engine compartment is swollen and about to burst. It screams POWER! to me. I guess it's clear that I love my car ....
My 2018 (B9) Audi S4 has 55,000 miles on the clock. No rattles, no visible wear on the leather, and zero unscheduled maintenance so far. This is a welcome contrast to my previous 2010 (B8) S4. I traded that one at 80,000 miles. The cabin and body were in great shape and it fetched an unexpectedly high valuation, but it had issues with a failed water pump and a finicky DSG threatened to become an expensive nightmare. Dodged the bullet on that one.
I own a 2022 S4 and love the car, but it has the same rattle in the passenger seat that you mentioned, and I'm wondering if it has something to do with the massage gear that's in the seat. Just a guess... It's a great care though..
I have a 2019 F82 M4 with 37k miles and I have the same complaints about the interior buzzes and rattles. There's a particularly annoying buzz that comes from the drivers door trim at certain rpm's. I had an older F32 430i that was absolutely bulletproof, not a single squeak, creak or rattle so maybe its universal across manufacturers that they're cutting corners and not building such solid cars anymore?
Him: The car is stunning! me: Those aftermarket rims *are not* stunning, they make the car look cheap. Aftermarket rims are suppose to make the car look better, but in this case it did the opposite.
They may look ugly but those are Advan GT racing wheels that will set ya back almost $4K for a set. Super light and strong and will make the car handle much better with less unsprung weight.
My guy. Its your money, buy it. No explanation needed. If you’re taking care of the kids and your wife and all their needs and wants are met then go ahead and buy yourself this car. Your wife is your wife not your mother and you ain’t 8 years old.
@@supermagicblackhole agreed! I have a 2011 IS-F and they continue to appreciate in value. Plus it won't give you any headaches 5 years down the road like the Audi will. The RS5 SB may be the perfect car to replace my MK7.5 Golf R.
Not sure this guy knows what he’s talking about. I’ve owned 3 Audis, and my current car is an M2 Competition. The Audi build quality and interior is far better. That’s the common knowledge and also my personal experience, yet he’s acting as if it’s the opposite. And AMG? Forget it, they’re nothing but rattles and squeaks Just look at reliability numbers. Audi is far ahead of the other two.
Hi , I’m curious about whether to get a rs3 or rs5 or an amg 43 or 63 interested about your opinions and real life experiences with them if you’ve downed them , your feedback is appreciated
RS3 for sheer speed and mods, RS5 for a great balance with ride and lux interior, C43 is great in between if found at a great deal. C63 is pure beast mode and the only RWD car from the ones you listed.

How is it holding up now? Plan on keeping it until 200k?
I’m also wondering. I know it’s been a year since you commented, but I’m curious if there have been any issues.
Honestly out of all Three, Audi is the most reliable by far.
B.S !!!!

What a perfect comment! Thanks for sharing and keep enjoying your car!
Love the car but those wheels are hideous.
You meqn the rims. Yeh the rims are a crime.
@@pepsicherry6389 rim is often used but wheel is the correct terminology

Love this car, honestly does everything well
Gorgeous car
Not gaudy, not overly-styled
The RS5 Sportback is a Swiss Army knife. Great review as always!
Thanks!!!!!
You are quoting the StraightPipes review, aren't you? But you are right, the RS5 SB is the Swiss Army Knife of cars.
Audi always gets bashed by overzealous narcissistic bmw and Mercedes owners. The Audi driver is more content and not into bashing the less fortunate
Good to see Bautista still working since leaving Miami Metro
Lmao!!!! Good one ☝️

Great review. I learned some things. I have a 2021 RS 5 and am extremely happy with it, but like you say it certainly is a little bumpy.
Him: The car is stunning!

Agreed. They look like they should be on a toyota camry
@@Swishseb666 I don't even think a Camary would go to that level lol
i cant agree with u more, that after market rims, kills it. what is this buyer thinking
They may look ugly but those are Advan GT racing wheels that will set ya back almost $4K for a set. Super light and strong and will make the car handle much better with less unsprung weight.
@@thomaswhite2007 Yeah thats total waste of 4 thousand dollars lol
I LOVE this car! You need a garage for it!
Thanks for an informative honest review. Time to start saving $$$$ to buy one.
You and I both :)
can you upgrade the rear lights on these to the 2019 + rear tailights? @@MotorPressReviews
what are those wheels/rims?
Trying to convince my wife to let me buy one! It. Will replace my 2011 Lexus IS-F.
Just buy it and say it’s for her. That’s what I always do 👍
My guy. Its your money, buy it. No explanation needed. If you’re taking care of the kids and your wife and all their needs and wants are met then go ahead and buy yourself this car. Your wife is your wife not your mother and you ain’t 8 years old.
Hopefully you made the right decision and kept the car that will/already is a classic, Lexus ISF

Great review!
dont like the rims... :( those are for cheap tuners
They belong on a Civic.
The passenger seat rattle is probably caused by the loose seatbelt. It's a common complaint.
It was the seat back. I buckled the seatbelt to eliminate it. Once I held the seat back, the noise stopped. Other cars have the same issue.

Name of the owner of the vehicle
It was a lease and now the vehicle has been returned.
@@MotorPressReviews oh damn do you guys know the owner
We know the former owner who leased the car, but he returned it the week after we did the video, so we don’t know who has it now.
Aeeeeeee fart prrrr aeeeee fart prrrr
No one says the build quality isn't as good as merc or bmw lol btw those wheels are horrendous and ruin that car
why would you fit alloy/rims like that on a stunning car like that.....why?? they are hideous and cheap looking.
How bout the mechanical ?
Interior …bla bla bla
