Anyone tried / considered both?

Performance wise v similar. Better offers on the Audi.

Better sound from C43.

Audi better space.

Thoughts please?

Tried S5 coupe for 5 mins. Want coupe but can only get sportback.

C43 have to wait for Friday and likely 4 door when I want a coupe.

Hard to get a proper go in one

Test drove C43 and S4 back to back.

C43 Much better sound, louder more pops and bangs. Probably more engaging too. Smaller inside than a S5 in the cabin. And S5 cabin better quality.

Looks wise on a par I think.

Audi def. Less engaging and def wouldnt go for S4 as really bland. Is the S4 a little quiter than S5?

Both v v quick.

No deals on C43 though. £100 month a more! Tough choice.

Maybe i should buy a 2012 991!
