S5 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A5.

Don't like their rear seat. Looked at one a long time myself.

 

[redlineguy]

I have owned an A4 and drivin an A6, If you have the $$$ go with the S. Audis are fun Cars.

they sure are fun car (owned 3) but i wont ever buy another one. GOOD THING i bought the extended warranty on mine, ****er was in the shop like every other weekend. really not up in reliablity if you ask me. i think for the money there are much better ones.

S5 or S4. Owned an A4 for 3 months. Fun car, and I do miss it regularly, but if you're buying, buy an S model.

S5s are a blast! handles really nice too. sucks to be the dude who gets to sit in the back. other than that, they're pretty cool !

Personally, i like the A4. But, shoot if you can afford it go with the S !

Wife drives a TTS rag top. Loves it and has never had a seconds problem. Waiting for the 09 TTRS to come out.

A buddy of mine just got a ice silver R8....holy super fast....total chick magnet......

Hmm, reliability is an issue with these things. Was looking for a new diesel pickup, scratched that idea, I already have a truck, was looking at a car

What would everyone suggest if not the Audi A5 or S5? They have about the same price as some Vette's, but those things are everywhere, and insurance SPIKES like a mofo. Just looking for a fun fast car 2 door coupe preferibly, and yah, shes gotta have nuts and get to speed fast

Anyways, thanks for the info so far guys keep it comming

um, Audi and BMW are equal when it comes to repair costs...both are expensive as chit!

Bought the wife an A-6 Quattro a couple years ago. I almost scrapped it after 50k because it kept popping O2 sensors. Not a cheap fix on those cars but apparently the reason they kept popping is because the mechanic who was doing the job didn't install them correctly. I ended up going to a dealer in Minneapolis who fixed it right and even though it wasn't cheap I haven't had a lick of trouble since.

Got about 105k on it now and it still goes down the road like the day I bought it.

It handles snow really well which is comforting since my wife hauls around the kids quite a bit.

If you want "fast" just get an Audi with the turbo engine...lots of power.

JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SRT-8!

probably wouldnt be a good vehicle for winter time but, hey if you like 8 MPG!

Ummmm but the BMW consistently ranks in the top 5 for reliability and customer satisfaction for having the least amount of problems, and Audi ranks on the lower end of the list.

BMW includes all maintenance up until 50,000 miles, Audi doesn't.

This includes, brakes, wipers, all fluids, all scheduled maintenance and any issues that come up.

Problem is the nearest BMW dealer is like 400 miles away LOL! I'm on my own, I wonder if I can get the leaste amount of warranty possible and just have them take $20k off the asking price
