Review: 2015 Audi RS 5 celebrates life, liberty and the pursuit of driving ... - New York Daily News

This Audi RS 5 Cabriolet is special. But all four of us have never taken a top-down ride at the same time until this Audi RS 5 Cabriolet arrived, complete with a back seat large enough to install a forward-facing child seat* and booster seat. Aside from providing this family milestone, this RS 5 represents a fond memory of a day spent endangering my driver’s license (without my family aboard). From their tasteful designs and detailing to their impeccable engineering traits and thrilling dynamics, a modern Audi is always a good time, and no matter the weather, thanks to Quattro all-wheel drive. My RS 5 test vehicle cost $86,575, including the $925 destination charge. The flat gray paint was an upgrade, as was the Black Optic Plus package and Technology package. It did not include the Comfort package, which would have added ventilated front seats and a neck heating system, and is an option that I strongly recommend. The only Audi rare enough to elicit a glance in places like Beverly Hills or Santa Monica is typically the R8. Nevertheless, this RS 5 caused people to stare, and to whip out their smartphones.
