The 2010 Audi S5 Cabriolet is by far the quietest softtop convertible I have ever driven. There was no howling wind noise or cold air coming through the tight seams; the S5 Cabriolet really drove like a fixed-roof vehicle. Surprisingly, the driver's rearward visibility isn't hindered by the top; the car has slightly larger blind spots at the C-pillars, but the lack of a B-pillar more than makes up for it. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to lower the top while driving due to the sub-freezing temperatures outside, but unlike other convertibles on the market, the Audi S5 Cabriolet is still a stylish ride regardless of where the top is positioned, especially in this color scheme, with brilliant red paint and a black top.inline_mediumwraptextright26436296/reviews/editors_notebook/0912_2010_audi_s5_s_tronic_cabriolet0912_01_z+2010_audi_s5_s-tronic_cabriolet+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue

Myriad intriguing technological innovations and new engines and transmissions mark the sixth generation of BMW's 5-series. Developed in parallel with the 7-series, it shares all suspension components, resulting in a switch from struts to a multilink layout in front. Most suspension components, the front fenders, the doors, and the hood are aluminum. The optional active steering uses electric - instead of hydraulic - assistance for additional fuel economy benefits.inline_mediumwraptextright31746612/features/news/1002_2011_bmw_5_series_6_series_four_door_coupe1002_01_z+2011_bMW_5-Series+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue
