It's all a matter of what you want. I drive longer distances to work every day, and often in rainy/snowy conditions. I don't have much open road (or the desire) to be punching the car in 3rd gear all that often. And, when I do, the S5 was plenty capable of passing in all situations. It's nearly as fast as the 335 in dry conditions, and is actually faster in the conditions I drive the car in because of the inclement weather.
Sure, the 335 'feels' faster, but so long as you're not a stop-light racer, I personally find that the S5 is a more comfortable, aesthetically pleasing car for my personal use/tastes.

s5 vs 335xi
My friend has the s5 and i have the 335xi. I love my car but love the look of the s5. Everytime we race I woop his ass. Off the line he takes a small lead and then I catch and pass him. Beside all that the S5 interior and out side look are supirior in all aspects. I love the dash and the interior style. If you want to win a race the 335 is tops if you want to have a great solid and modertly fast car get the s5. If I had to choose again I would get the audi! but i still love my 335xi

Of course from a drivers perspective I'd rather be in the 335 over the s5. If I bought an m3 I'd have to replace the hood. Can't stand seeing it from inside the car.

To 99% of the population the M3 is indistiguihable from a 328 or a 335. CA

Try to compare RS5 vs M3, instead of S5 vs M3. http://www.bmwblog.com/2010/02/21/au...-war-rages-on/

S5 is okay - if you don't like BMW - move along.

I like the aesthetics of the Audi but not the "experience" I really didn't want a VW. I'll keep my sleepy brand.

lol i'll never understand that argument. yeah, it's an expensive vw.. it's also a cheap lambo. The interior shares a more in common with the gallardo than a jetta

pretty much in between. the gauge cluster is straight out of the current gen audis the ac controls on the lambo are straight out of every last gen audi. (see the last a8) the 3 circular vents are closing versions of the open ones in the last gen rs4. there's also this thing called an r8 which bares a hell of a lot of resemblance. lol

Totally agree with everything you guys have said. My sister loves the S5 and wants one for graduation. We took it for a test drive and were both underwhelmed. It's beautiful, but to drive its really rather boring and soft. I think she should get a 335 or the new S4 if she really wants an Audi.

If I had to choose one, i'd pick my 335 without question. I wouldn't in stock form, and I wouldn't if I were older (I'm thinking 35 will be my mod-obsession cutoff point). But whether or not i'm a huge fan of the 335 (I am! my e90post join date and mod list speak to that. I'm never selling my 335.), I can't say that the S5 isn't the nicer car.
