    Just Bought a 2018 Audi RS5 For Christmas with Only 1,256 Miles On It!

    Been a long time member on the forum but was in the S6, S4, and S3/RS3 forums mostly but I bought an RS5 for one of my employees and after I test drove it, I fell in love with it and how it drove so I bought one for myself for Christmas... Video below with some beauty shots/b-roll...




    My question is, am I the only person that thinks the RS5 is the best car that I (or you) have ever driven?

    The RS5 is the best daily driver I have ever had. Such a perfect balance of performance, comfort and practicality. Best car I have ever driven is my 718 Spyder.....by far !!

    A bank I used to work at did the same thing. They would buy employees cars (and in one case a house) in lieu of cash bonuses.

    Agreed. I’m self employed. I do it for my employees. Not to that degree. But sending them on holiday for a week to Mexico with the family. Ect. More of a tax benefit. And I see it as I create memories for them versus money they may put to a cable bill and soon forget.

    If you wanted you could still get a cash bonus, but most people opted for the car, house, or whatever, for tax purposes.

    If you asked Alan Weisselberg, he would tell you either file a 1099 (which defeats the purpose), or don't do this.
