which is better and what are the pro's and con's of each?

 

s5....it just is

 

S5... just cause...

 

are you ******* kidding me?

 

S4, just cause.


Seriously though, search plz....there are a kazillion threads that show you the differences, opinionated and non-opinionated. The FAQ has some good info.

 

This thread is going to go nowhere fast.

Cliff notes for the OP since he has obviously not dug up the thousands of S4 vs S5 threads from the past.

- S4 has better minor electronics (ex. window switches)
- S4 has a healthier differential (the clutch type LSD is a popular upgrade for FD guys)
- S4 has replaceable balljoints (huge plus)
- S4 has steel sway bar endlinks un like the S5's plastic dogbone pieces of ****

Thats most of the majors. As far as looks of the body and the changes made there between series, its all subjective so debate is useless.

 

ha okk. im sorry ****.

 

I'd take an S4 for a track/weekend car and an S5 for a daily driver.

Just do a search.

 

S4 are more reliable, S5 are also built with cheaper materials.

 

if u can stand those automatic seat belts.....go for the s5...i cant....so i have the s4

 

the new s4 comes with a 40 valve na v8 with quattro, but the older ones react great to mods.

 

s5 is prettier, but the s4 is more reliable

also, the s5 wastegate is like 2x the size of the s4, which makes it a lot less prone to exploding, which is always a plus.
