I like the A6 but just drove the M5 tonight. I can't imagine an A6 being better.



If you're comparing, drive an S6. Comparing an A6 to a M5 is two totally different levels of car.

Better yet, drive an S7.

Audi's new virtual cockpit is too cool to not have if buying a new luxury car.


That looks pretty cool on youtube and probably better in real life but I couldn't imagine basing a decision on a luxury sports sedan on the freaking nav screen.

Then again, if I were to ever spring for a Tesla it would most likely be because of the big screen tv they cram in the dash.

Gaston, this monthly thread is full of people making judgements on vehicles they have never driven, know not much about, and probably won't ever own...so take that into consideration.

I like my S5, so I'd say Audi.

Well, I was just bringing the car in for service so I decided to explore the option of trading it in. The A8L hasn't been updated St, but the new once should be out in the next few months. If I'm going to spend 100K on another car, I'm going to wait a couple months for the new tech.

'14. I've been thinking about doing that. A buddy has a stage 2 on his S6, and it hauls arse.

My last two cars have been BMWs (335i and currently drive an M3) and I've also driven an A6 and Q5 quite a bit - fiance's old cars.

Audi vs BMW is a very different experience. I think Mercedes is a better comparison to BMW when it comes to luxury and performance. Audi is just different. IMO Audi doesn't perform the way BMW does unless you go really high end - like a RS7 or RS5. Even then, their high-end models still come up short on the track when compared to BMW and Mercedes. Audi is more comparable to Infiniti. They make for a really smooth ride though.

You should. The S5 is averaging 110-120 horsepower increase at the wheels with the tune (engine mapping and increased boost on the supercharger).

Audi undertuned the ever living shite out of the supercharged V6 engine in the S4/S5.

Obviously you need to research Audi's racing history... They are legendary. Quattro is king ?.

Personally, I have a 16APR Stage 2 tuned S3 and it is an absolute pocket rocket... I blew by an M3 the other night

Without question, i would get an Asian vehicle over a German vehicle, no matter where it is actually assembled.

Second hand Nissan GTR. 2013 or newer with <18k miles. While 2 door, it does have a back seat and it is an absolute fricking beast.

Do. It.
