2016 Audi S5

Pros

• Strong performance
• Luxurious interior
• High build quality
• Distinctive design

Cons

• High fuel consumption
• Expensive maintenance
• Limited parts availability
• Potential for costly repairs

Reliability

The S5 is generally reliable if well-maintained, though high mileage can bring issues typical of performance cars. The engine and transmission are robust, but neglect can lead to costly repairs, particularly with the turbocharger and suspension components.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial for the S5, with service intervals typically every 10,000 km. Costs are higher than average due to its performance nature, and the automatic transmission requires careful attention to fluid changes to avoid issues. Audi's service network in Kenya can handle complex repairs, but costs may be significant.

Parts availability

Parts for the S5 are available through Audi's authorised service centres and specialist importers. While common wear items are accessible, performance-specific parts can be expensive and may require ordering from abroad, especially for less common components.

Fuel economy

The S5's petrol engine offers brisk performance but can be thirsty, especially in Nairobi's stop-and-go traffic. On the highway, it fares better, but expect higher fuel costs compared to more economy-focused sedans.
