Been looking at getting the S3 but I love the A5 coupes so much. Was originally gonna get the 3.0tdi and then add mods etc but there's so many issues these days with diesels with swirl flaps, EGRs, DPFs etc that I dropped the idea and decided on the S3. I only do a 25 mile round trip to work on mainly B roads/country lanes anyway so a diesel just isn't the way to go. Looking at the S3 and it looks to be average of low 20s MPG if driven mainly normally but sometimes sporty. So I don't do more than about 500 miles a month and some say it's about 250 miles to a tank in the S3 so £150ish a month on fuel is OK.
As I'm saving though I can't take my eye off the S5s and they are about the same money but they're so much nicer looking and you get so much more of a car. The only issue is that I don't really want to be doubling the amount I spend a month on fuel. I don't mind say spending 200 quid a month, maybe even 250 with the option to put more in should I do a road trip or decide to have blast one day but I don't want to be always be putting 300 quid in or more every money.
Does anyoone know if they are comparable to the S3?
I hear they do about 20 MPG but does anyone know how much it is to fill the tank and how many miles on average they get?
TIA
