Their engines are suspect....the 3.2, 2.0, and 4.2 direct injection motors all get gunked up with carbon on the valves. The 4.2 in my B6 is prone to cracking chain guides and tensioners and scored cylinders. I'm putting off Audi's until they prove that their direct
injection engines don't get gunked up. That said, 3.0 supercharged V6 in the B8 S4 seems to be ok, after having issues with water pumps going bad.

German cars, great under warranty (mostly).....not so much after its over.

S5, the launch of supercharger and awd is amazing, puts you back in your seat more than the others

my friend actually got rid of his m3 to get a s5, the s5s are pretty sick, his was white with red interior. dam that **** was boss! :tup:

I'm really leaning towards the s5 it seem to have the full package. The isF is also towards the end of its life and once the model changes mine will depreciate like crazy.

Once the South Florida Auto show comes around I'll get to see all the cars in front of me and then I can drive them to see what feels best. I would love an M3 but I feel they are to expensive for what you get. Great track cars but I don't live on the track lol

yes get the S5! :tup:

Lol I'll let you know what I decide, it's just the s5 is mod friendly also. A pulley, exhaust, and a tune and I should easily be in m3 or isf territory. I am really excited about the torque I hate how the Z has low torque.

My dad has a 589 awhp and 596 awt gtr and god I love just always feeling the torque there same with my moms cls550.

ISF for sure anyone can own a BMW or Audi beat box

I hear ya, w.e. you decide just make sure you are happy with it and post pics when u eventually get it. :icon17:

How old are you?

22 my dad owns a seafood manufacturing company the I help him run and I'll do more once I finish my bachelors in a year.

Would've been done with school already but I switched my major and had to take different classes.

Friend of mine just bought the 2013 S5. Gorgeous inside and out. I'd go for that one.

I used to be an Audi lover. You understand lol. :tup:

The S5 is a very grown up car. I've driven my cousin's car on a few occasions and it definitely packs a punch. Still it lacks the "feel" of the Z, the Z gives the driver a better driving experience. I guess its best summed up like this, my cousin will more often ask me to let him drive the Lotus than I will ask for the s5 because of the fun factor.
