2018 AUDI S5 SPORTBACK

Overview: A great sporty sedan Pros: Turbocharged engine, Virtual Cockpit, sleek design Cons: Telematics looks dated Value for money: Good for this segment

What I would change: A snazzier telematics system, one a little more Tesla, Volvo or iPad-like

How I would spec it: I’d get the Technik version with Advanced Driver Assist package as well as the Adaptive Suspension and Quattro sport differential
