Picked up my S5 today !

[stimmers]

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

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

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.

There will be an RS5, not officially annouced yet, but they reckon 2 years time. Im top of the list though !!!!!!

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.

Parked next to a 335i BMW at the gym today. I don't think it looks like it that much at all. Maybe a touch from the side but not the back and certainly not the front

Car is getting a LOT of attention. Having tourists take photos of it more than when im in my 360.

Comments to add so far - Briliant car and loving it but if im being very picky, the steering is a touch too light for me (not a problem at all) and its deff a thristy beast !!!!!!

My Blackberry even works on the hands free bluetooth, which it hasn't in any other car !
