Finally got to see the S5 today and was a bit dissapointed overall. Don't get me wrong, it is a beautiful car, and I will probably still purchase one; but I think my expectations were too high going in.
My biggest gripe is with the interior. The plastics on the dash just look cheap for a vehicle costing $58k. The cupholders also look like after thoughts and could have been designed better. The nav screen was smaller and not placed as well as it looked in pictures, and even the buttons next to the gearshift didn't have the tactile feel I thought they would.
The good news is the LED's on the headlights were better looking than in pictures and the exterior as a whole is gorgeous. The car was in Meteor Grey which is nice, but I am sure it will look even better in black.
Anyone else feel letdown after seeing it for the first time?
