The S5 is a gorgeous car, but the maintenance is killer especially with the carbon build up so I chose the Nismo instead and couldn't be happier.

The carbon build up is true with the DI motors. Was tempted to trade in my a4 for an S5 but would of ran into the same problem with the motor so instead I bought another Z.

Some people get the build up with only 15k miles. Audi doesn't cover this on warranty even though its a known issue which is retarded. They charge $1,200 every time you want them to clean the carbon build up.

Long story short, I wouldn't buy another audi until they fix the DI carbon build up issue...
