The chassis is mostly aluminum except for the rear trunk area which is steel to balance out the weight of the engine. It's just a little bit over 3,000lbs with AWD, which is impressive. It is a haldex-based AWD system, which isn't the ideal system.
This...or buy a used S5 with higher mileage.

Here was my S5. Sold it because of MPG.
