Though no major auto manufacturer world-wide uses DOT5 to my knowledge, there are quite a few advantages especially for seldom-used cars, especially museum pieces, which have been well discussed at length.

There really aren't any significant disadvantages that I'm aware of, except that DOT5 will find a leak in a system that DOT3 or DOT4 wouldn't find. I've often heard the comment about a softer pedal but have no experience with that one way or the other. I've used DOT4 for a long time in the 56 Carib with complete satisfaction.
