Audi S4 or S5?
« on: May 17, 2012, 05:28:01 pm »
so, i turn 24 in 6months time and after doing some research it turns out that an S5 becomes easily within insurance distance, in fact its 200 pounds cheaper than what I'm currently paying for the GTI at 23yrs old. so i was wondering if any one has any experience with them? comfort, drivability, sound, specs etc etc. i don't need the centre seat in the back, i don't have kids or a family nor plan on it soon so was wondering what everyone else's thoughts on them are? cheers  :smiley:

Is this the really really fat S5 that represents a barge on wheels with an engine that carnt be tuned or the new S5 with the 3.0 charged lump from an S4?

If the latter then good stuff although id take the S4 personaly.

There is a thread on this already iirc :happy2:

It's the 4.2 supercharged V8 :) I don't really want another golf such as ed35 or golf R as for the same money I can get a nicer Audi :/ and I found that with this lump it can be tuned very easily to 450bhp with Audi R8 territory torque levels  :evilgrin: and the noise is superb...

Still a barge, albeit a fast barge...

Supercharged 4.2??? Are you sure?

The original S5 was a V8 N/A 4.2 and the 3.0 Diseasal felt quicker. The new ones are V6 3.0 Supercharged. :confused:

the early 4.2 V8 were not supercharged mate. Only the much newer 3.0 v6 was supercharged.

The V8 is no where near as tunable.

the S5's I've been looking at are stated as 4.2 supercharged? i wouldn't get one if it wasn't due to whats been said by yourself and others, that they aren't very tuneable. main reason i didn't get an R32 was they're crap to tune

If so then buy it immediately as Audi have NEVER done a 4.2 V8 with charger from the factory, if you do find one it will most likely be the MTM conversion which was insanely expensive but awesome in equal measure..

Luxuries? You're 24 man. You should be balls out in a Caterham. Everywhere. In every weather.
