S4, S5 or RS4

I need a new daily drive and have worked the list down to S4, S5, (both V8) or RS4.

I do a lot of driving around europe as well as a daily commute. I haven't looked into running or service cost yet, so any info on that would be nice.

I'm interested to hear what you guys think.

Are you going to use the back seats?
* No: RS5.
* Yes: S4 Avant.

RS4, with the B8 S4 coming in second. I'm not much of a fan of the S4.

Meant to say that I'm not a fan of the S5.

If you don't need a lot of space and want a panty dropper: S5
If you want 4 doors and enjoy something a little more rare yet still fast and stable: B7 RS4
If you need more space and like a cult car: B5/B6/B7 S4 Avant (Not a pantry dropper but awesome FYI)
If you want a warranty and very modern and comfortable car with 4 doors: B8 S4

Personally B7 RS4 is where it's at for me. My perfect garage right now is a Ford Raptor 6.2l 2-door and a B7 RS4....game over

Note: The chassis designations may be different for you in Europe.

I have a B8 S4 for my DD and it is almost perfect after installing a SSK and revo ECU.

Get a new(er) car, the new S4 or the S5.

Here's a comparo between the new S4 and the old RS4.
