i tested the RS5 multiple times in my shopping process.... i think folks would be surprised how stiff the ride can get with the optional DRC dampers. Obviously the main selling point is the daily livability esp in Sportback form, but imo at fairly similar prices where I am, the value proposition is not even close...

I found the exhaust sound to be quite good on the Audi as a sidenote. Audi been doing the fake DCT like farts on upshifts and pronounced burbles on overruns, which does help mask the lack of drama of the ZF8A otherwise.
