Hi All,
Currently in the process of deciding what to upgrade to from my current 2015 S1. I’ve decided I want something bigger and that is the only criteria thats needing met.
Everything else is completely up in the air.
Two cars that have stood out have been the RS3 Saloon and the S5. I am aware of the differences of these vehicles and they are tailored for different demographics however I am impressed about how both can be GT cruisers and B-Road thrashers all in the one package!
I am due to go to my local Audi in the coming week and test drive the two consecutively, however I would like some points and tips from you helpful people...
Sports exhaust on RS3- is there a huge difference between this and standard exhaust on the FL RS3? In terms of sound and theatre, that would be quite important for me. As much fun as my S1 was...it sounded like a Dyson.
S5- Is the abandoning of the S tronic DSG unit in favour of a single clutch unit a good move? Personally I love the instant and brutal upshifts that come from a DSG box and wouldn’t be sure on whether the ZF Auto could offer that same crispness.
S5- sound. From a quick look around some videos on YouTube I must say I am impressed with the grunt from the s5. In your opinion what sounds better...s5 or RS3? I am a grown man but sound is still oh so important to me, unfortunately.
And finally...which car would you rather have and why?
Appreciate your feedback, and go easy on me..it is my first post after all!!
