I realized this morning that I haven't spent nearly enough playing with the Audi Drive Select program on our 2009 Audi S5. Somehow this coupe always seems to come to me on a night when there's nothing more than freeways in the forecast.
Last night I thought about how much I like the precision and lightness of the Audi's steering, even if it's not terribly rich in feedback.
This morning, though, it occurred to me I could have reset the steering to "Dynamic" mode (rather than leaving it in "Automatic") and perhaps it would have felt even better. Damn. And then it was time to park and go to work. I have the keys to the Audi again tonight, though, so I've got another chance.
As an aside, the Bang & Olufsen audio system in this car is easily the best in the fleet. NPR's Carl Kasell might as well be in the passenger seat telling me about how things are in Afghanistan.

... or listening to Carl Kassel on Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! :)
On topic, I am debating whether or not to get the ADS package when I get my S5, so I'm definitely open to feedback and experiences. I do know that I will order the S5 with the upgraded rear differential.

Specifically better than the Lexicon in the Genesis? It must be good.

Ok, seriously, you listen to NPR while youre in this thing? It's either no windows down, radio off, or somekind of music. Geez.

Great pic. That's about the angle I see them at when driving along. That's why they often look better in person than in photos.
