    How are these A5/S5?

    I was interested in them before I sold my S4, but I really needed a new car and went with the LGT. With the A/S 5 series being a new model I am curious as to how they are holding up thus far...

    5,000 miles on my A5, without a glitch (knock on wood). Only complaint would be the traction control is very moody on the 1-2 shift when floored, and will interrupt the power after shifting.

    Can you give us some pictures of the car as of for now (after 5k miles)? Which car did you own before the A5? how do they compare (speed, comfort...)? What is your opinion against people who picked the 335 instead of the A5?

    335 vs S5 is a better comparison.

    I drove EVERYTHING when I began my search back in October. 335, G35, G37, Saab's, Mercedes', you name it. Long story short, well worth the wait. The A5 never fails to turn heads, and in my opinion, the interior is second to none. I don't have an opinion against anyone. People arguing over cars they don't drive are idiots. That's my opinion. I bought the car for ME, because I like it, not for anyone else. It was a subjective choice, and I don't force that on anyone, nor do I welcome others forcing their opinions on others. Do you want the objective FACTS? 335 is faster.

    Before, I drove this:


    So, you want a comparison?

    No pictures of the car on this computer. Only thing I have done from stock was tint the windows and install a 3M invisishield bra.
