I would NOT buy any Audi or VW. Yes, they are nice looking inside and out with a great balance of performance. However they have major reliability issues. I have family members who currently work with Audis and VWs. They tell me all the time how poorly they are built and how many issues they have. Just my

It's true about the reliability of Audis... Also the maintenance costs are pretty high for little things. My friend has an S8 and it cost him like $800 just to replace the starter because of it's location requires like 7 hours of labor... But they are great cars in general, so if you don't really care about value or maintenance costs, the S5 is good. Personally I like the audi styling a lot and would get an S5 over an M3 just simply for looks alone and of course the RS5 hehe
