That makes it even worst. Its people like you that give M3 drivers that douchey stigma. Learn your manners - if you got nothing nice to say about someone's new toy, then just grab a yourself a San Miguel, smile and shut the f up.

RS5 is siiick, great looking especially while rolling. The new Cayman S however is badass and has really gotten me excited about Porsche again. Even though I have an Audi if it were me I may lean towards the Cayman S, but its a tough choice. My .02, drive both this weekend and pick the one your heart tells you to go with, not what we say LOL. Either way you go post pics on this thread!!

Holy hell I was driving down the street the other day in my R8 and saw a black/black RS5 approaching me in the opposite direction. It looked so good I gave HIM a thumbs up LOL There's just something about it's stance and those front lights rolling that are mesmerizing. However the body on the Cayman S is unmatched in the Porsche lineup, until you get to the GT3 status. Oh the choices of the first world [problem] Good luck I'm glad I'm not in your situation! Get both problem solved

Having lived with both M3 and Cayman S for 1 1/2 yrs.
M3+ engine, engine, engine, amazing sound and power. Good tech, comfortable. M3- poor range due to lousy gas mileage + small fuel tank. Expense is not so much the issue as convenience, it sucks having to fill up more than once a week. More intervention from traction control. Cayman S + handling, balance, overall feel. Great traction due to rear weight balance. Surprising size of boots, no problem with grocery runs. Cayman S - somewhat underpowered, but more than adequate for most situations. RS5 seems like more of an M3 competitor than a Cayman rival. Similar power, high-revving V8, etc. Not much to compete with Cayman at it's price level. Mid-engine rules. |

The car currently has 730 miles and here are my impressions so far:
The cold start is much smoother and shorter than the M and it does not happen all the time only the first time you turn the car on. It pulls faster than the M from stop however I have a vert so my comparison might not be accurate. It handles the curves better than the M but you have to push on the car so the Quattro works. The oem sport exhaust sounds very good when the valves are open and defiantly is a must on this car. It drones a little but it doesn’t bother me. The car is fun to drive in dynamic mode but boring in Comfort or Auto mode it becomes more like a luxury cp. The Dynamic mode has to be set every time the car is turned on otherwise it defaults to Auto (kind of annoying). No adaptive suspension and the ride is hard, it doesn’t bother me but I can see some getting annoyed by it. The transmission is 7 speed double clutch it shifts very smooth in both Manual and Sport modes. It is very quite not like my DCT. The only thing that bothers me that it has only one setting not the like the M. The Steering is disappointing (like all electric steerings). It doesn’t give the feed back I’m used to get from the M but I’m getting used to it. I still didn’t push hard on the car as the break in period is about a 1000 miles. Once I do I will write a detailed review. I have a bad cold so excuse any typos Last edited by Race_Doc11; 06-21-2013 at 01:41 PM.. |

I got $3800 off the sticker price but I never heard of such a deal ...you can push for 2.5% off the sticker price. Test drive the car first and if you do make sure to put it in dynamic mode. Would I buy Audi again? ...Yes but it has to be RS or R8. I'm not regretting the purchase at all. By the way it gets attention everywhere even from guys who are driving Ferraris (mine is red )
