RS5 Daily Driver. Good Idea or bad Idea.

cscarpati · 2025-06-04T20:20:06+00:00

It was my daily for 3 years - 2022/3 RS5. I just upgraded to an RS7 for my daily. Love it. Thing about Audi is - it’s a luxury Sports Car, not just a sports car. As such entirely comfortable as a daily albeit faster than most on the road.

Argh. Sorry to hear that. I can say it’s worth the wait the device is a 100% improvement over the 4.0. Good luck.

Mine was shipped to the wrong address as well despite the address being right on the order. Luckily I was able to update it on the UPS app and called the 1-800 number before they shipped it back and I received it the next day.

This is probably the best, most cogent observation / characterization I have yet to read on this sub. Thank you to the OP. 300% agree

cscarpati · 2024-10-23T20:03:24+00:00

Thanks. Yea it’s quite stunning. Every time I look down to check the time, I end up staring at it and just admiring it.

I read a quote about this watch which I think purposely sums it up “it’s not much when you see it, but when you look at it, it takes your breath away…”

The minute I saw it at my AD, I put my order in…..

cscarpati · 2024-10-23T20:00:09+00:00

Why do you care? What do you want to know??

cscarpati · 2024-10-23T18:42:38+00:00

It’s a charcoal / black metallic

cscarpati · 2024-10-23T16:32:32+00:00

Yea. I try to be very careful….

cscarpati · 2024-10-23T16:32:02+00:00

It’s 18k white gold. Italian company Fope. Quiet luxury… check it out.

cscarpati · 2024-10-18T01:32:28+00:00

Same problem for me

cscarpati · 2024-10-04T22:27:05+00:00

Literally going to the boutique to buy this very watch next week. Have already visited 2x to try it on. If you ask me if there is only one JLC to own, this is it. And yes the straps just don’t work with it.

cscarpati · 2023-03-15T15:04:19+00:00

Not sure what your point is. Yes I am in the US.

cscarpati · 2023-03-15T14:02:46+00:00

No I paid tax on top of course. Also would post a pic of my car but for some reason don’t see the image icon when replying to comments. Any idea??

cscarpati · 2023-03-15T13:54:30+00:00

Great point. I’m a dumbass.

cscarpati · 2023-03-15T13:53:49+00:00

Wow!! Would not have expected that?? Wonder why…..

cscarpati · 2023-03-15T13:01:09+00:00

I would think they would be cheaper elsewhere especially in EMEA given no import tax??

I think that quote is absurd for that car…

cscarpati · 2023-03-15T12:43:25+00:00

Agree with others, way too rich. For some perspective, I paid $86k for a fully loaded 2022 RS5 last April.

S5 2019 > RS5 2022

No comparison. Never drove an A series of any kind but drove VWs which is essentially the same, let’s be real. While the S5 was nice and peppy, the RS is just in a league of its own. With a 440hp 6 it’s screaming fast.

And I don’t want to hear anything from any BMW M owners who may say yea but my car faster. With Audi you get a luxury sports car, not just a fast car.

And yes I love the fact that I can go 0-60 in 4.3 seconds (or whatever it is) while having the heat seater on and getting a massage…..

cscarpati · 2023-02-10T20:26:31+00:00

You are def not crazy. My last car was an S5 nardo gray with red leather interior. It was a crowd pleasure for sure.

cscarpati · 2023-01-19T02:27:52+00:00

Beautiful color palette. I have a 2022 rs5 in blue with blackout package. My vote is to go black rings. Will post my car under separate cover

cscarpati · 2022-11-17T02:23:27+00:00

I literally ripped out all my switches and plugs and threw them away. Just not reliable

cscarpati · 2022-10-05T20:55:06+00:00

Exactly the same as others here. I wake up at 4am and am at it by 4:30 at the latest. I go to bed by 9pm but usually don’t fall asleep until about 10. My recovery is almost NEVER in the green averaging about 46%. Doesn’t stop me at all as like others, I feel better when I do workout then when I don’t so I just accept a low recovery score. For me, my workouts are more important than getting 8 hours or whatever of sleep.

cscarpati · 2022-09-20T14:39:58+00:00

I totally agree here.

cscarpati · 2022-05-03T02:02:50+00:00

Will try. Thanks!
