2019 RS5 or 2023 S3 for daily driver

[SemimgVatic]

I’m in need of a new car as I’m going back to the office for work. I’ve been working remote since 2020 doing consulting remotely for Fortune 500 companies but now most if not all companies are back in office.

Currently I have an offer for:

2019 RS5 mint condition all major service performed. 41k miles. Price 47k after taxes & fees . 650 monthly payment after some money down

2023 S3 premium plus, good condition. Also all major service up to date. 30k miles. 43k after taxes. 591 monthly payment after the same amount down.

I would be more than happy paying both vehicles off and owning them forever if needed. I currently also have an SQ5 after my first child was born. My wife and I eventually will want another child also so I’m thinking a bigger car would be better to have vs the S3.

If both options above are stupid, I’m also debating getting an A5 with an S-Line package. Sadly this is also in the 650-700 monthly range.

What would you do?

S3, any day. If most of your journey are a commute, you cannot enjoy driving to a good extent.

Economy, cheaper insurance, consumables and a lovely place to be in the S3

What about an S4 Avant best of both worlds space for the kids and a bit of a lunatic when you want it to be
