I am 6'-7" tall. Audi builds cars that I can fit into comfortably. My 1998 A4 was the first car that truly fit me, and the S5 is just as good, if not better. see full Audi A5 / S5 review |

Obvious turbo lag, lacking power if trying to pass in high gear. Low gear acceleration is excellent though. see full Audi A5 / S5 review |
