The guts of the S5 are fashionable and they complement its accurate and predictable helm.
Although the S5 is more bite than roar, its subdued exhaust note is a change of pace in a segment with a lot of buzz and thunder. Audi’s Quattro all-wheel drive is standard equipment, and so are a pair of burly six-piston front brake calipers. Every S5 gets a 349-hp turbocharged V-6 with an eight-speed automatic transmission, a substantial leap from the A5’s 261-hp turbo-four. The meaningful differences hide behind the S5’s nose. You might have to squint to tell the high-performance 2023 Audi S5 cabriolet model from its standard-issue A5 counterpart. Here are the best convertibles for other model years: 2022 | 2021 | 2020 | 2019 We’ve lifted every storage lid, pressed every button, and studied these droptops as part of our intensive testing regimen in order to determine the difference between a great time and a compromised driving experience. The answer depends on the length of your commute and the weather that defines the area you call home. Comparing the two against each other pits apples against oranges, but both convertibles are capable of raising your heart rate.Īt the cost of a little chassis stiffness (not to mention the additional equipment required for track days), convertibles do away with some of the interference between the tailpipes and your ears. The Mazda MX-5 Miata is a go-kart for adults, but it pales in comparison to the violent rawr of the 670-hp Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Like tanning lotions, convertibles come in varying strengths. Still, it’s tough to worry about what could’ve been when the sun’s shining on your face. Some of this excitement comes at the sacrifice of rear-seat and cargo space. These cars pull the dread out of the everyday and fold the roof down with it. Convertibles are best enjoyed while wearing a Hawaiian shirt.
