Sweet car! Unfortunately you are experiencing the joys of owning an Audi so if you're not a fan of having little things go wrong with your car, an Audi might not be the car for you.... Hopefully it's nothing major!

Thanks for the comment.... I think you have not read through the entire post..... I love my S5 and resolved the vibration problem... The reason why we might be looking for a trade is because this is my first MT car and I love it but my fiancee cannot drive/enjoy it also, so we are looking to trade for another S5 but in AT. I have owned MB's, BMWs, Audis', Lexus... They all have their issues... no car is perfect and I know it..... But I originally thought my Fiancee would learn how to drive a MT but in the end, she is being stubborn....

No, I read your entire post my friend and I have owned numerous German cars as well including two Audi's and they were both plagued by mechanical/electronical gremlens. No car is perfect i agree, but at nearly 25k on my IS-F other than scheduled maintenance my lexus is completely trouble free!

Thanks, I got lucky actually.... I was at the right place and time.... I still myself just looking around for pricing and you cannot get these types of prices...not even now.... I check ebay, autotrader, forums..etc..etc... They are still selling in the 50's..... So i feel very lucky... and what tips it all is I LOVE my S5!

i'm only speaking for myself here so please dont get too offended

i've owned the unreliable germans .... and i've had a great reliable lexus (no ISF however)

i'd rather take the bus than own another soul stealing Lexus :/

i'm sticking with the unreliables for now and smiling all the way

I actually have both the S5 and GS350. My Lexus has its issues... I had to change out the brakes and rotors at 32k miles... I had an annoying dash rattle that couldnt be fixed up until the 4th visit....Brakes sweaking really bad... but i have to admit, other than that, the car drives solid.... My Audi is another animal... I have only had it for a short period of time, and the only thing it had been in the shop for is oil change, and control arm swap.... So its all good boys!

I thought the same thing until I heard the the dual stage intake and exhaust note of the 5.0 liter yamaha built engine in the IS-F.......I'm really hurt by your comments

soul stealing? That's a little harsh
