For a similar price or more, nothing beats a Nissan Skyline GTR.

Impressive performance from the RS5 certainly but as a driver's car, the M3 is still the one!

RS5 is a serious contender for M3 but considering how it came out years after the M3, I would expect a bit more differance...
Last 4 seconds of the video, sums up the winner...

Happiness is not around the corner, it IS the corner !!!

Hard for me to really make an informed decision having never driven an RS5; but i've done countless hours behind the wheel of the M3, both in coupe and sedan form and it would be VERY hard to sway me over to the Audi.
