I love this A4/S5 as well...very tempting

like others have said there is nothing to be sorry about. All the cars you listed are great cars- and you've just ended up with one of them. It's win-win in my book. Congrats!!

TMNT · 05-15-2007, 12:57 PM

The car is awesome. I have been following it for awhile now, however I cannot wait until late fall to purchase a car, especially at the higher msrp these cars will be going for compared to the 3 series.

However if the S5's gas mileage wasn't so horrendous, I would wait.

With 15 city/21 highway.......might as well drive a chevy tahoe.

Zshazz · 05-15-2007, 04:08 PM

After seeing the S5 I started to consider getting it... I think the interior looks superb and the seats are wonderful. I test-drove a S4 and nearly got it, but held back because it was a 4 door.

However, after carefully weighing the pros and cons, I decided against it and I'm gonna just get an '08 335i. I'm not usually the guy that cares about gas mileage, but the 335i gets better gas mileage in the city than the S5 will get on the highway... that says a lot. Plus with a proceed, the 335i will be a significantly faster car. Not to mention the price will be lower.

I guess I was destined to get a 335i :P

Ryan 330i · 05-15-2007, 04:39 PM

i too will be getting an S5 early '08... sorry BMW...

SoCal335i · 05-15-2007, 04:49 PM

Its a pretty car but its going to do high 14's to low 15's in the 1/4 at LACR... Im done with slow Audi V-8's.

Johnny Lin · 05-15-2007, 07:04 PM

That looks good. The only car I like for Audi is the S5. That is only car I like from them.

renasis · 05-16-2007, 12:41 AM

Dont be sorry man, i am sure you wont reget getting that car as a passed audi owner i was pretty happy with mine, good luck.

chicagolab · 05-16-2007, 01:00 AM

I saw two A5's in downtown Chicago a few weeks ago. They had Michigan manufactuer plates, one debadged the other had badges. One silver , one black. The car looks outstanding. They will sell less cars than the e92 and that may make them stand out or get noticed a little more. Overall it is a beautiful car and if I were getting a coupe it would be a top contender.

fire-n-ice · 05-16-2007, 01:47 AM

I think it's a beautiful car, enjoy it and be proud of your decision.

For me though, the inside/console area does remind me of the cockpit of a 747. Too much crap for me. I'd rather be driving then operating all those buttons!

Still, it's a beauty. I hope it's everything you hoped for.

E90ice · 05-16-2007, 01:47 AM

Great, but you never got to test drive the new M3 or the G37, right?

Good luck!

Chris.G · 05-16-2007, 06:46 AM

Yeah im in the same boat as well, i think ill be buying an S5. GREAT choice either way!

Greeney · 05-16-2007, 06:54 AM

We have 5 S5s on the forum comming soon it looks like haha

OH YEAH ON MY F'ING CAR. AHHAHAHA, I wonder where audi got their inspiration from...

actually audi had there nuvolari concept out waaay before the e92 came out, and the nuvolari is where the a5 gets most of its styling from, so if anyone is copying anybody, then bmw copied audi

exactly, most people don't remember the concept and just open their mouth, I wouldnt go as far as saying BMW copied Audi, but I see you didnt mean that anyway; you said "if"

The 335i leather I have is not as good as the hides I have had and seen in Audis. The plastic in my 335i does not seem top notch at all. I miss my Audi interior...however I do like the phone integration in the 335i. BTW, I dont like either the i-drive or Audis MMI systems.

Agreed.

I sure as hell not buying the 335 because of its interior. Its meh at best.

Umm...I don't drive an E9x....

Lightly moded and stock S4's beg to differ.

Always take things you see on the internet with a grain of salt, but those numbers look pretty solid and there are many examples.
