Audi S5 Coupe Review

There’s nothing quite like the feel of a turbocharged engine, and the Audi S5 Coupe ranks right up there at the top of the list when it comes to satisfying that urge for power. This high-performance luxury coupe is ready to take on anything with a supercharged 4.2-liter V8 that puts out a stunning 354 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque – and it looks incredibly gorgeous while it’s at it.

Driving enthusiasts will find the Audi gives them plenty to love. The heavier set of the car makes it feel almost like a touring vehicle, but it handles so sharply and precisely that the feel is more sporty than sedate. The traction is fantastic with AWD, and the power steering is extremely responsive, needing only a touch to get you cruising down the right road. The acceleration feels amazing, and it’ll get from zero to 60 in just under 5 seconds.

Though the S5 certainly holds its own when it comes to the engine wars, when you buy a luxury vehicle you’re in it as much for the looks of the beast as the feel of the drive. Thankfully, the Audi S5 doesn’t leave you wanting in either department. The exterior is so sleek and beautiful you’ll want to keep it in your house as a piece of art, while the interior simply oozes luxury, with napa leather upholstery, heated power sport seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a sleek dash-mounted control system with satellite radio and auxiliary jack.

The front seats are part of what make the driving experience of the Audi S5 so good, with a low seat and a high cowl that are ideal for cruising. The rear seats have been given a surprising – and welcome – amount of attention, considering this is a sport car. They’re not terribly roomy, but they have their own sets of climate controls, and the rear seatback folds down for more storage space. It’s not often you come across a sport car that thinks of utility features like being able to pack a larger suitcase, but part of luxury is having your car do whatever you need it to do. Audi delivers on that desire with aplomb.

If you’re looking for extra fancy features, we can hardly think of a one that the Audi S5 has left out: it comes with power heated exterior mirrors, tri-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, electronic parking brake, rain-sensing wipers, xenon headlamps, 19-inch alloy wheels, foglamps, Bluetooth, and Multi Media Interface with an extremely convenient control system mounted on either the console or the steering wheel. And that’s just standard – upgrade to a higher trim level and features like navigation systems, a Bang & Olufsen sound system, driver memory functions and more are available.

Short story: when it comes to luxury cars, the Audi S5 simply can’t be beat for looks, luxury or performance. There are cheaper cars, sure. But you weren’t looking for cheap – you were looking for priceless. You found it. Check out our latest Audi promotions at Holberts today.

Audi and Philadelphia – Enjoying the Lap of Luxury

There is a good feeling that comes with driving your Audi cars around town in Philadelphia. You get looks at stop lights and you simply appreciate the luxurious appeal that only Audi can provide. It’s also the best way to get to your favorite elite places throughout “The City of Brotherly Love.” Here are a few places where class and luxury abound in Philly.

Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts
This upper class facility has a “discreet brick exterior” that goes up to a glass vaulted rooftop that extends another 150 feet. The views from the top are absolutely extraordinary, but the real fun happens every weekend because you can either catch a jazz band, the Philadelphia Orchestra or some other live event that you will enjoy.

Rodin Museum
For art lovers, the Rodin Museum offers some of the greatest works by the 19th century sculptor for which the museum is named. Some works include the ever-popular The Thinker, The Gates of Hell and Eternal Springtime, just to name a few. In addition, there are more than 120 works from this French icon.

These are just two of the elite facilities you can appreciate any time of the year in Philadelphia. When you arrive in your Audi cars, you know you will fit right in!

Some Tire Terms You Should Know

Taking proper care of your tires is the best way to get the most life out of them. But do you know what people are talking about when they use “tire lingo”? Here area some common terms you may run into when talking about tire care so you can care for them properly.

PSI – The abbreviation PSI stands for “pounds per square inch.” This is the way tire pressure is measured. When you use a tire gauge to measure pressure, it shows the number of PSI. The recommended PSI is also shown on the sidewall of most tires to take out the guesswork.

Valve Stem – This is probably the most well known part of the tire because it is the part you use to add air. It is the little rubber part that sticks through the wheel.

Sidewall – The sidewall of the tire is just that – the side part of the tire. This is the part where all of the information about the tire is listed, such as the PSI, the tire size, manufacturer and more.

Tread – This is the part that makes contact with the road. Keep an eye on the tire’s tread to ensure your car has enough traction in various driving conditions.

Learn the proper terms and methods for maintaining your tires because the better you take care of the tires on your Audi cars, the better they will take care of you.

Audi dealers will undoubtedly want to participate in the Carfax Service Link program because when they do, their contact information is displayed next to each service record. This helps dealers keep vehicles in their service cycle. Currently, about 6,000 dealers of various brands participate in the program. And since millions of car buyers rely on the Carfax website for their research, participating in the program gives dealers more exposure to potential customers.

Vito DiMarco, a sales manager at a New Jersey Audi dealership, said the Carfax program has a “tremendous impact on revenue” from the dealership’s service bays. He states that many of his first-time customers came to his facility simply because they saw it advertised on the Carfax Vehicle History report they received online. Joining the program, he said, “was one of the best decisions we made to help expand our customer base and make more money on the service side.”
