Just came back from test driving an A5 3.2 quattro, as a "possible", albeit very slim chance of replacing my Z. But alas, let's just say I was delighted to get back and drive my Z again. Though the A5 was sleek, I was not impressed with the cushy ride, soft clutch, spongy brakes, long shift throws, and slow performance. My Z was the opposite of that. It was just more "raw", which I love.

Chalk one up for the Z.

I LOVE the look of the A5/S5 and would have bought an S5 if I could have afforded one. I won't be mad if you switch.

Im sorry to hear that you had a dissatisfying experience with the Audi, but on the flip side.....

BACK TO THE Z SIDE!!

Assuming that you would leave us behind...you would be sorely missed on the boards. I know, I know..go ahead...you guys can begin the flaming! Here, I'll even get you started!
