Which would you rather have?
« on: 15 July 2011, 11:03 »
Hi all,

Am looking to sell my car in the next few months and cant decide on what to get. I have narrowed it down to two cars, the Ford Focus RS (New one) or the Audi S5. I know they're totally different cars, but I have no kids and dont use my car for work so am not bothered about economy.

Which would you rather have?

I know this is no help at all but I would be very happy with either, perhaps it's more about what you want from a car ?

Well i've no doubt they're both fast cars. The S5 has more power but will probably be heavier as it's got a V8 and is a bigger car. The RS is also stunning and also quick. The RS is more likely to sell easier as it doesnt have a V8 which I imagine would be less desirable?

Has to be the S5. Waaay cooler than the Focus.
Not low enough mk5
Not on the road enough mk3

Neither does the Audi V8...I've never seen one make the expected figures yet.

Would the RS be better for practicality if you ever needed it, looks a bit more spacious than the S5 to me.
