In the end, "they were left wanting more". They wanted more acceleration, more snap to the steering response, and more front grip. They said they would keep their eyes out for version 2.0.

Pick up sept/oct issue (white supercharged 560 Audi R8 on cover) to read the whole review.


That said....the S5 and the M3 are 2 different cars.

I do think the S5 looks hot.....but I would rather drive the M3.

Every word of that is spot on and is why I am considering a new car.
