I might have commented early on that I think they look really great.

Performance is more in line with a prior model 328 coupe (added weight of AWD hurts and not really needed in FL) but when I last looked they were more comparable in price to a similar year 335 (may not be true for FL). The S5 offers more performance but at a little more cost.

Yeah, I'll be driving a rear wheel drive car for sure. No need to worry about weather making the roads slick down here.

I have 2 guys looking for a regular seat in the 335i. Should I test drive a A5 or is the reliability history too much for Audi's?

A5/S5 is standard with AWD. You may try test driving an S5 for the hell of it. If you like it then do a little research on reliability and see if its that big of a deal. Could be more from past reputation.

Maybe something like this:

That looks damn good. Do Audi's regularly go to 200K miles on a vehicle?

Not really sure. Think most of the German stuff might get expensive to keep running at some point and 200k seems like a ton of miles for a complicated luxury car.

Thats the buzz on the street as they say. Thats why I'm not too spooked to get a used BMW with 30K miles on it, figure I still have 170K to go.

You're in south Florida right? I have an 07 335i you can drive. You can check out my 09 Cts-V too.
