People should only be allowed to read during the first 60 days theyre members. Alot of things made it heaveir. Mostly some parts of the dash had extra bracing.

They also lack the lightweight spare/jack of the S4s.

the chassis on s5s is braced in more place than a s4. it makes it stiffer but also adds a little weight. don't care if it weighs more, i still like the s5s better than s4s.

The extra weight (again) came from re-enforcements to the A-pillars, B-pillars, dash structure,(those first three all for the extra support of the lame mouse belts), the mouse belts and electrical for them, the gas tank, and the dropping of some of the light weight parts that were standard on the S4.
