S5 for sure. Better looking, more powerful and more luxurious.

Re: Audi S3 or Audi S5 will be your choice?

A (very good) friend of mine who has an 2003 VX 220, took the new S3 for a test-drive and he came back disappointed. I asked him why he was so underwhelmed and then he replied me with with a rather upset voice tone:
"F****** turbo-lag ruins the whole car!"

So I guess all the reviews were right, the S3 indeed suffers of an awful load of turbo-lag; one has to wonder how badly the turbo-lag in TT-S will be as it is even more powerful than the S3.


Definitely the S5.

Re: Audi S3 or Audi S5 will be your choice?

If one can afford the S5, why would even consider S3? Or of course get 135i and get S5 performance for S3 price.
