OK I guess putting this in the A3/S3 section I might guess the answer !
The performance of the S3 is attractive , but the 2.0 TFSI Quattro is no slouch either . Adding some of the spec to the S3 as the same as the A5 the price is fairly similar.
The S3 has serious performance , but a bit of a boy racer image ( I live in essex).... The A5 is perhaps a little more subtle. (thinking of the Sportback on both).
I am not changing till end of the year ,early next year ( have a TDI 170 Quattro sport A3) so will have a good look around , will also have to look at the build times for both.
As to the technical side / any imminent changes would be interested on thoughts. Also which options are very important /should be avoided.
I would like parking sensors/Adaptive cruise control. Missus (who drives it more than me) does not like Auto box or Leather seat ., So would look at manual and Alcantara/Leather.
Not so bothered by sound system , have found the standard Audi pretty good already.
Colours , I was thinking of dark grey (gunmetal) pearl ...
Might have a look at the Jag XE , but not keen on boot only config as like hatches
