What was the dealer like?

Terrible. Turned up to collect the car on a Sunday, sat around for an hour and then eventually told the car hadnt been taxed and the PO wasn't open on a Sunday. Was told that the cruise control had been fitted as requested, but it wasn't. Salesman tried to fob me off that its part of the indicator stalk - hello do I look that stupid??

Quattro 4WD epic in the wet and snow. Pretty quick, but the steering lacked proper feel.

Quite difficult as the S5 coupe is almost as long as the A6.

Big comfy leather lumbar supported seats.
