D4V3 GT4 Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Hi everyone (not been on for ages) Hope everyones well!! It's been a while since I sold the Z and had a couple of motors since but nothing worth mentioning. A Golf GT (that sounded like a tractor) which I had for about 8 months then a Clio 197 cup which I had for about a month (loads of fun, but very very basic) So I've finally got back into the world of V power only this time with an 8 instead of 6!! Was very close to getting the new M3 but fell in love with looks of the S5 (mainly the interior) I know the M3 is a better drivers car but I just fell for the S5 .... and I love it, sounds awesome!!.

Andy Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Good choice, would take this over the M3 myself any day of the week. Quote
M13KYF Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 welome back Dave, good to see yo again. I'll look out fo ryou on Chester road now I know what car ya in Quote
JT1703 Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Good choice, would take this over the M3 myself any day of the week. Agreed. Very Quote
tmJak Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Nice car, i'm a bit of a fan. How do they compare in performance to the Zed? I burnt an S5 in a 1.8 Vectra once, but he'd missed a gear Quote
nixy Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 i love those - far less 'reppy' looking than a Beemer. Quote
D4V3 GT4 Posted March 6, 2009 Author Posted March 6, 2009 They don't really compare, they are so different it's hard to make a comparison. The S5 feels quicker off the mark but that will be the four wheel drive, it actually feels a lot quicker than it really is. three of us went out the other night for a bit of a raz and I struggled to keep up, granted the other cars were a Bentley GT Speed and this monster....

Andy Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Without wishing to offend, the 63 is far to try hard for me, the lines on the car are very aggressive! I would still have the S5 due to its sleekness and subtly. Quote
mwalker56 Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Without wishing to offend, the 63 is far to try hard for me, the lines on the car are very aggressive! I would still have the S5 due to its sleekness and subtly. I agree, i saw an SL63 in Stratford today and it looked a bit pimp-my-ride with funny shiny bits of plastic! S5 is much better choice. Quote
tmJak Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 S5 looks cooler, one of the better looking 'subtle' car around IMO Quote
D4V3 GT4 Posted March 6, 2009 Author Posted March 6, 2009 Haha, I wish I had that sort of money to even have the choice of buying the SL63 (which I wouldn't) That actual car is a hire car, one of our far east suppliers hired it for the day £500! and I think he got some heavy discount as well!! Does look very imposing in the white, and like I said it sounds amazing, with him and the GT sport next to me I was like the poor cousin. But do love my S5...... even with the 13mpgs! sorry I'm still a tight arse!! driving everywhere in 6th gear :lol: Quote
Digsy Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Hey chap! How goes it? Great choice. A pal has one of these and just the sound of that V8 is gorgeous! Quote
marzman Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 I'll go against the consensus here - i cant stand audi's as i think they all look the same (apart from a white TTS i saw a few weeks ago, which had me waivering for a minute). But at least you've gone for the S model, which i will at least give some respect to...! Quote
bronzee Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Not a bad looking car at all. One thing I will give to Audi is their cars do still stand out a bit in a crowd in terms of branding, not such a Mc Car like a lot now. Quote
Lou-Lou Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Good choice, would take this over the M3 myself any day of the week. Oh hell yes Love the look of that, really nice looking car.. such an evil front end Quote
D4V3 GT4 Posted March 8, 2009 Author Posted March 8, 2009 Alright Liam/Digs nice to here from you guys again!! And Marzman thanks for your respect it means a lot :lol: Quote
NWZ Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 13 mpg, what's the crusing mpg then? Nice car, I like the sprint blue S5 (same colour as the RS4) Quote
marzman Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Alright Liam/Digs nice to here from you guys again!! And Marzman thanks for your respect it means a lot :lol: I mean it in the way that the driver of an s model is obviously into his cars, so he's not an automatic **** like most audi drivers (according to clarkson!).

D4V3 GT4 Posted March 10, 2009 Author Posted March 10, 2009 13 mpg, what's the crusing mpg then? Nice car, I like the sprint blue S5 (same colour as the RS4) I reckon at the moment it's probably about 19-20ish mpg. Quote
