Yes, I know the 335 is more mod-friendly, etc. However, Audi seems to have just gotten everything "right" with this car. Just starting it up, and listening to that quad V8, quad exhaust rumble, is enough to get your blood flowing.

There was a light rain the day of the test drive, and the Quattro system kept us firmly planted on the ground. The car is one of the best looking coupes on the road. The interior is very nice, and while I didn't have time to really test out the navigation system, I can't imagine how it could possibly be any worse than the BMW one. That's the worst nav system I've ever used.

If I were choosing today, I would pick the S5. And this is coming from someone who still loves their 335i.

And yes, my co-worker went back the next day and bought the S5.
He bought one, and I still cant find one!!!! :sad0147::sad0147:

They use the Quartz now on other cars. I thought it looked a bit bland. It is down to two. Phantom black with silver leather. Ice silver with magma red leather.

Ordered or bought?
Yes Greeney a drop and wheels would be the first order of business.
Our owner is down the hall with some guns from L.A.
If this deal goes through, I am going to take him for beers and ask for the OK to order. Fingers and toes crossed........He already sees one as my desktop background.

One thing I wish I had done was pick a colour that was exclusive to the S5. Over here that's just the Sprint Blue which I might add looks unbelievable but sadly at the time I ordered mine there wasn't one available to see and though I lived it on the S4 they had it didn't blow my socks off, but the other day I saw a S5 in the colour and it is the best colour to pick bar none.

Ummm. I have never had a blue car much less a BLUE car.
I might tire of that after a while.
Colors of my long list of vehicles.
6 white, 4 black, 2 silver and one red 240Z.
Pretty exciting huh?

Changing the wheels on that thing would be pure blashpemy in my eyes. They're too good to change!

...Unless you swap em out with M6 reps...no...I'm not joking
