Default Considering S5, have question

Hi all,

Im considering an S5 but Im completely new to audi and seems to me the dealership doesn't really know all the details on the car. If someone can help, would be greatly appreciated. Also, the Audi USA web site does not show enough details!

- Should I get the damper control? Standard suspension is fine for everyday driving?
- What will drive select adjust?
- What's the cost of maintenance? I know is free the first year, but how about after that?

In order:

- Well, I have no problem DD the RS5, which has a stiffer suspension than the S5, but comfort is a very subjective matter. Only you can decide.
- Depends on your optional equipment, but at a minimum steering assist, throttle response and artificial engine sound.
- Only the 5000 miles service is free. After that you can buy Audi Care, which covers the 15k, 25k, 35k and 45k service. I think for the S5 it runs around $850.
