Default My 2018 RS5

I just took delivery of my 2018 RS5 about 4 days ago, and I LOVE IT! My previous vehicle was a 2018 S5 Sportback and I got bored very quickly. I spent about 3 months looking for the one spec'd exactly how I wanted it, and I found it!





Some questions I had for any current 18 RS5 owners -

Is anyone experiencing a rattle when going over certain bumps, etc on the road in the driver side rear? Seems maybe in the trunk, or somewhere close.

Also, another rattle/vibration in the passenger side front towards the roof when getting on the throttle?

Other than those two issues, I love this car. In my opinion it was definitely worth the upgrade from the S5 Sportback. What does everyone else think?

Specs -
Mythos Black metallic
Dynamic package
Dynamic plus package
RS Driver assistance package
Black optic package
Fine Nappa leather package
Dynamic steering
Bang & Olufsen® Sound System with 3D sound

The car oozes sex appeal with a menacing look, like it a lot.

I have not noticed any of the rattles you mention. I have heard a squeak or two from the carbon ceramics though. The brakes seem strong even in comparison to my Porsche...

Very odd. I don't really want to take it to the dealer and have them tear it apart. Also, thankfully, no squeaking from the brakes yet. Hoping that misses me lol
Very nice car btw!

Great looking car! Congrats. I’ve also noticed minor rattles and vibes over bumps, etc. Definitely nothing bothersome and much less than I had in my Jaguar F Type S!

Hmm, I thought that the black optics with mythos black would be too much but it actually looks OK.

It looks great 18RS5! Can't wait till the RS5 Sportbacks start rolling out into dealerships! Mine will look very similar in Mythos Black with 4 doors!
Enjoy!
