Interesting to read the opinions here, these are 2 of 4 cars on my list, what did you purchase in the end ?

The other thin with the RS4 is that its also considerably more practical with 3 seats in the back and a proper boot. Get the avant and you've got a real cargo wagon if you need it.
I have three children and all three car seats fit happily in the back with no problems. the A5/S5/RS5 is simply to cramped in the back to make it any use to me.
In terms of driving... sure, you could fettle the supercharger a bit and get similar straight line performance but the v8 presses all the real primitive buttons and makes your senses tingle when it's singing. Put on a miltek so it can sing as it should and you'll have a hard time remembering what all the fuss was about the s5. :)

Drive both, the RS is older and becoming more dated but has significantly better performance - it depends on whether you want to be looked at (get the S5) or want performance (get the RS)
Every S5 owner will look on your RS4 with HUGE envy.
No they won't.....they bought an S5 :assflash:
