2015 Audi S5 Premium Plus

The S5 is Audi's sporty two-door, offered as a coupe or convertible, and it's the one to pick if you want a daily driver with real performance. It's quick and composed, with the Quattro system giving you confidence in corners and on wet roads, though the ride is on the firm side. Inside, the cabin feels upscale with high-quality materials, and front passengers get plenty of room, but the rear seats are tight for adults. Owners mention the cooling system's plastic parts can be a weak point, so it's worth having a pre-purchase inspection done. The Premium Plus is the mid-range trim, skipping the Prestige's adaptive cruise and upgraded audio to save you money while keeping the same mechanicals. Its 3.0L I6 makes 333 horsepower and pulls hard from low rpm, and the seven-speed automatic shifts quickly whether you're cruising or pushing it. The coupe's rear seats are tight for adults, so think of this as a 2+2 that's happiest with just two people on board.
