What they said the S5 is more of a cruiser the M3 is a high reving beast

 

My pick - M3

I know they're notoriously biased (they even acknowledge it several times in the newest issue), but:

i heard a lot of people say this. Must be true....
the s5 looks great, but if i had to chose i would go with m3.

 

Depends on your needs/wants. The S5 is much more comfortable, more refined, and better looking. The M3 is a little louder, a little stiffer, and maybe not quite as elegant looking, but much more fun. Do you need awd?

 

Drove them both...like the M3 best. Today, drove the MBZ C63. That was fun.

 

Yeah, I mean, we can't really help you unless we know what you need and want from a car.

In my opinion, unless you are driving in a lot of low grip situations (i.e. rain, snow, wet leaves, etc.), get the M3. The coupe has better lines, but the sedan is really cool in its own way, and the backseat, although somewhat limited room wise, is still usable.

Also, consider the lease rates on Audi's are notoriously bad. The S5 is a less expensive car than a comparable M3, but it's going to cost substantially more to lease. I live in the NW, and even if it was my only car, I think I'd still do a 24 month lease on an E90 M3. It's just a really great car in every respect.

 

I've been in both. I'd get the S5. Plenty of power and it's a lot less boy-racer than the M3.

 

I would say M3, even though the S5 is a great car especially in bad weather (like M5Kid said).

 

S5 is the correct answer

 

Did anybody see Hitman? It sounded, and looked good in that movie.
