RS5. Very nice looking car.
The good: 4.2 liter NA V8 with a 8200 rpm redline, 450 HP, 317 TQ. Bad ass 7 speed DCT, all wheel drive. VERY nice car. Drive it in any weather (would work well in CO), runs low-mid 12's bone stock, gorgeous interior.
The bad: Weighs 4000 lbs, gets shitty gas mileage (real world will average 15-16 mpg, maybe 18-19 on the highway), super low profile 20" tires look great but ride rough (suspension is not adjustable), runs only on premium, eats tires (need to replace every 15k miles or so and not cheap), only common issue is a transmission leak.
Make sure it has the optional Sport Exhaust (open the valve and it sounds like a damned Ferrari). Up to 15K miles she can get Audi Care which will cover all maintenance up to 55K miles (maintenance on Audi's is ridiculously expensive--this will cut the cost in half). Would not own one of these without an extended warranty... dealers are outrageous on cost, if she buys it PM me and I have a place to buy an Audi brand extended warranty for about 30% off.
I was seriously considering a used '14 RS5 coupe a couple months ago... only problem was for a few grand more you can get a '13-14 991 series Porsche 911S or a new 2 or 3LT Z51 Vette or GT350. All are better choices in my book.'13 Porsche 911S, PDK, every Sport option, Aqua Blue
'13 King Ranch F150 S'Crew.

LaserSVT is a vag. I heard he went out of his was several times to help some BLM poster boy. But that boy was too busy attending creepy sex conventions to pick up the phone and and cancel. So LaserSVT ended up losing time and money while he left a bay open. What a VAG!!!!

Try and find a decent diagnostic scanner for VW/Audi, ...no such thing.
Even the factory diag. tools sucksigpic
"Lookin' back in front of me in the mirror's a grin,
through eyes of love I see I'm really lookin' at a friend
We've all had our problems that's the way life is,
my heart goes out to others who are there to make amends".
