Hi trading in my mercedes 2012 cls350 cdi amg with 97000 miles for a 2018 on a68 plate audi s5 sportback with 9000 miles. It has virtual cockpit, flat bottomed steering wheel and privacy glass ontop of the standard s spec. Picking it up on friday. Cant wait! Andy

Lovely S5 there OP. Bet that'll feel so much quicker in the rain than the Merc especially when pulling out of junctions etc

I had the S4 for 12 months and have to say despite average reviews it really impressed me.

Much quicker than the figures would suggest to the legal limit and makes cut and thrust driving easy.

Only annoyance was the gear gaiter popping off constantly

Looks great OP, good choice with the Alu trim as opposed to gloss black, my neighbor had the S4 Avant and the gloss looked a mess after a couple of months of ownership. No issues with the car mechanically and it performed well until he got rid.

Thanks guys- the merc was a great car only a coolant leak and a dpf failure in 96000 miles and 6 years of ownership. I liked the carbon trim but couldnt justify the extra price for it. The only other thing i would have liked is the adaptive suspension.
