Question Q5 or S4

Hi Guys, great forum and great posts!

So i cant decide Q5 or S4. I do alot of outdoorsy stuff like kiteboarding where i need to drive on the occasional beach or muddy area but i think the S4 would be able to do that although the Q5 would do it better. i also love the pano roof for both in the city and out and the Q5 is very spacious and great choice. actually its the more practical and smarter choice

but the S4 is a bullet and after two 1 hour plus test drives i cant get it out of my system. its a bullet but it grips the road like no other car ive ever owned (ive had a jetts, a MB CLK 320 Convertible, a BMW 318, and the S4 blows them all away) most of my driving is in the city, and for the occasional weekend getway im sure would be fine, but foir sure the extra space and the pano roof will be sorely missed ... its like having a convertible but without the hassles or noise.

i know they are two different cars but what would you get. any help would be appreciated.

Thanks all.

First off let me welcome you to the forum.

You need to have a conversation with Warcity. He is one of the Moderators here on the forum and has owned both. I can't think of a better person to give you perspective in terms of pros and cons for both vehicles.

Again, welcome and enjoy the forum. Stick around.

from the audi.ca site, the seat options (colours, padding) for the S4 seem more luxurious than the Q5. In fact S4 seems to have more seat colour combos than S5 or S6.

Welcome to the forum!
Warcity is your man for info on that one. He recently switched from Q5 to S4. I'm sure he'll comment as soon as he checks this post.

Who told you to get a conscience? I would agree to your proposal, but i would probably want the S4 all the time, and then you would be with the Q5 in which case you may as well just get the Q5 for yourself. If i were you I would go with the S4...waaaaay more fun. What about an S4 wagon? seems like that would fit all your requirements.
