2019 Audi RS5 Sportback Review: It's almost too good

As it turns out, there's such a thing as a car that's too good. The 2019 Audi RS5 Sportback is one such car, and its valedictorian antics are almost frustrating in their pitch-perfect execution.

The 2.9-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 puts out 444 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque, and the eight-speed automatic transmission shifts quickly. Even though the $3,350 Dynamic package adds a sportier, louder exhaust system, it's still quiet enough to sneak out of the neighborhood on a morning drive.

Second-row comfort is the tops, with ample headroom and legroom for a six-foot-tall passenger behind an equally tall driver. The body doesn't mess with visibility, either, offering plenty in every direction. The cargo space is fantastic, its hatchback offering depth and height that competitors like the Mercedes-AMG C63 and BMW M3 cannot.

Can a car really be frustratingly perfect?

[howardginsberg]

Just got this car and he’s right. It’s perfect. Worth every penny. It’s basically a beautifully designed fire breathing dragon luxury cruiser autonomous driving hatchback all wheel drive piece of perfection.

Enjoyable reviewer and a great car. But the “buffering” style video on action shots was pretty annoying.

The “even the carbon fiber doesn’t go too hard in the paint” is a reference that made me genuinely happy. Thank you, good sir 👌🏾🫡

Andrew does a great job to make relatable reviews. Lots of energy and adequate dialogue makes me want to watch more of him.

I don’t understand people who don’t like the sound of V6’s

When he cursed and honked at the same time lol I almost died

[spillow]

Why not let us hear how the 'ones and zeros' sound in the cabin? You intrigued us and never actually demonstrated.

Beautifully crafted review. Precised and to the point. Make more Audi videos.

Is anything standard in this car ??? I think base price you buy only the engine and the wheels !!

[samsharma]

Unfortunately, at the price these lease at (around $1600 p/month), it's in M5 Competition territory, and that thing would dust an RS5 easy.

[bshwayde]

The only problem with the RS5 is the price and the interior. Inside it’s pretty much the A4/S4 with some carbon trim and nice seats...it’s just not special enough for the price.

There is only Zuul? Is that what he said at 6:02?

My goodness

I came here for a review not a commercial!

[jakeclayson]

Just bought a 2021 RS5 Fastback in Nardo grey. I can’t stop smiling!🤙🏼

I'm surprised hankook is quite a top pick for lots of car brands as factory tires. I had used them before and wasn't impressed with durability
