2013 Audi S5 - CNET
Available with adaptive suspension, an active differential for its Quattro all-wheel-drive system, a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and a supercharged engine boasting 333 horsepower, the 2013 Audi S5 sounds like it should be a... However, Audi's little coupe tends more toward agile weekend sport driver than track day superstar. As a tech car , the 2013 S5 is near-perfect, exhibiting the kind of engineering and electronics that earned the 2012 Audi A7 CNET's Tech Car of the Year award. Cabin tech and driver assistance systems are both innovative and useful, the kinds of features that you miss when driving a lesser car. Although using a smaller LCD than in the A7, where I first saw this feature, it was still completely engaging to see a satellite image of the road on which I was currently driving. Audi highlights the roads on the imagery so as to distinguish them from the photographic cacophony of buildings and landscape. These satellite maps come to the car through a live 3G connection. The car also comes with a complete set of standard navigation maps. Using Audi's MMI controller on the console, I could enter addresses or look up. Source: www.cnet.com
