New Member - S5 Cab
 

Hi All.........
After much deliberation (six months or so) I finally opted to go with Audi.
Looked at 335iS Cab, E330 Cab, E550 Cab, C63 AMG, Infiniti G37 Cab, even 135i Cab with Dinan chip but decided to go with a fully loaded S5 Cabriolet - Premium - B&O, Sport Diff....etc.

My reasons included:
Wanted a convertible (had one before and have wanted another one since)
Best of all worlds in regards to power/gas mileage/room
Better Power than E330
Better price than E550 (they're expensive)
Better gas mileage than C63AMG coupe (obviously not Cab but very nice just the same)
Better trunk space than 335iS (when top down - really)
Better size and overall room than 135i (with chip)
Better room, power and size than G37
Audi Quatro !!

Loving my choice so far.

Congratulations. You've made a great choice.

It also seems you've really done your home work which makes your choice that much more enjoyable.

I have no doubt you're counting the days to take the top off.

Congrats and Enjoy!

Thanks very much.
Nice people on here!!

Of the four times I've been able to drive it since buying it two weeks ago (we had some pretty cold and icy weather for a week - that's called Winter in Vancouver by the way) I have been loving it.

Cheers

Nothing wrong with bragging about the car at all!! You work hard and with that you can buy nice things. That's just how it works! Congrats and appreciate the specs. That v6 supercharged engine sure is nice. Light weight. New light ought frame design to helps it compare with the v8 while using better gas consumption!!
