Hi

I’m missing a V8 in my life...well, one I’m not gonna go mudplugging in!

Always wanted a 4.2 S4 (would probably go silver, avant, manual)...but do like the S5.

I assume either can be made/let to sound like a V8 should sound? It’s all about the sound.

I’ve not driven either. Anyone done so / had both / any suggestions.

S5 is obv newer but I do like the 4...2003ish model.

The V8 in the S5 is most likely the FSI one - that means a few issues that reduce the power of that engine drastically.
For this reasons - Id stick to the S4
