S5?

Thinking about buying an S5 for a daily driver. I drive 550 miles a week.

Some questions are :

Are they reliable?

Fun 2 drive?

Anything I should look out for?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ice

you really can't go wrong with this car. it's a beautiful car.
also you should consider m3 sedan or coupe in dct. Sedan you can find for really good price.

S5 would be a smart choice, roomy, comfortable, 4WD... you really cant go wrong. For a serious DD a new M3 would be a mistake, the ride is pretty hard. Surely not at comfortable as the S5.

only issue (at least for me) is the lack of a sunroof, but that doesn't seem to be stopping people from snapping this car up...really gorgeous inside and out.

LOL, Yeah you know I need a DD so I figured I'd start asking around about the S5. I actually drove one and it drove great!!!

But in the end I ended up buying an R8. Should be here in 10 days.

I know Nick, you cant figure me out!!!

Hope things are well.

And another one we recently completed.
