Buying Advice
The 2014 Audi RS 5 Coupe is a powerful and immensely fun-to-drive coupe in its segment. There is only one trim offered while there are plenty of optional features and some packages available to equip. We recommend the optional Driver Assist Package for its adaptive cruise control, adaptive steering system, etc.
