No idea how to post pics, any help ?

Only driven the car from Surrey back to London, but it was pissing down. So far the S5 does not have as brutal acceleration as my S5 and initially i think the M3 might just have it, but the power comes very quicky and very smoothly in the S5. Its very deceptive. I'd look down at the speedo and realise i was doing, er, eum, 70mph very quickly. The power just keeps coming too. Not had a Audi before, using it in the wet was a real joy compared to the M3. Had to always concentrate in the Wet with the BMW, with the Audi you can do what you like and it just does it. Not had a chance to stick it into bends yet.

Car is stunning in the metal, better than in pics and i have some really great options, which im very pleased with. All in all, a fantastic car, more than my expectations and im very happy with my purchase. Looking forward to the RS5.

Now, how to post some pics, hmmm

Use this http://photobucket.com/ it's quick and easy to post pics. Congrats by the way, having read about the S5 in Car magazine all I can say is PHWOOOR! Suprisingly Evo dindn't like it. It really does look good especially in white. The only car that I could imange owning if it wasn't the S5 would be the RS4 or the Alpine B3 Bi-Turbo. Not that I could afford any of them.

Awesome car, very stealthy indeed.

Got converted to Audi this year too after buying a black A8 4.2 with big wheels and sports kit.

You must be loving that interior after the M3. Have to say though, the M3 is a great car, just a little dated now.

I reckon you'd be faster in the real world in that than the M3, just on account of grip

M3 was more fun in the dry and on a track. The S5 has it beaten in every other area. Much much quicker in the real world. The grip in the Audi is incredable, but having never had a 4 wheel drive car, i would say that.

Interior in the Audi is wonderful and the build quality is the best i have seen.

Great Car

I bought the A8 because I am 6'10".

Any chance I'd fit in an S5? A4 is too small, but oddly LHD A4s are ok.

Thats a much better looking car than the new M3, just nicer proportioned. Saw a 'normal' one yesterday and it looked great. Are they doing an RS5, that would be an M3 killer.

Very nice but still looks very much like a BMW with an Audi badge to me. Prefer it to the new 3 series / M3 though.
