I have gone through so many damn cars in the past five years that I wanted to try. Its actually embarrassing. My '06 CaymanS was the best handling car I have ever been in...just a bit underpowered for what I wanted. The new CaymanS is simply brilliant as far as I am concerned (for a fun, non daily driver) and one my wife wants me to seriously consider when the time comes for me to get back into a sports car. The C6 Vettes were a lot of fun but really lacked on the interior...especially coming from a Euro car background. The C7 has addressed this a ton. I still love the exterior looks of the widebody C6's though.
The S5 is a great daily driver GT type car. Nice around town power/tq. Fantastic interior appointments and layout. Love Audi's MMI system. Much better/intuitive than BMW's Idrive plus I hate the Ipad'ish Nav that looks to be just stuck on the new BMW M3/4. I was about to do the APR tune/pulley swap which adds nearly 100 whp to the car but then decided on the career change and elected to put the car up for sale. The S5 is not a car that I would have as a fun/weekend type of car. I said this about my former M3's as well. They are fantastic performance oriented daily driver GT cars.
