They're gorgeous, anything against the automatic? Would strongly recommend as I'm sure many others would here.

Just a matter of preference i like that little extra feel from a manual. Also im trying to make the most of them while they are still around. :D
Most of the other S models are now fully auto.

Anyone had a Scirocco 2.0tsi and a Audi A5 2.0 Tsi ?
Or an Audi S3 2013 onwards model
Just wondering what they though of the differences driving wise.
Have test driven the S3 love the power but the steering is a bit disconnected though.
Got the A5 test booked in for next week.
But test drive is nothing on ownership.

Unfortunately not, however I'm interested as to what you think of the A5! I'm dead set on getting a facelift S5 later this year.

The A5 felt a bit heavy through the turns. The interior is also a bit dated was a 2013.
But the face lift interior is nice.
Saw a facelift S5 in the garage looked very nice!
The a5 Lacks agility of the rocco but outdoes it in a straight line.

2013 is post facelift, facelift happened on 62 reg models, I suspect the "facelift" you're talking about is the brand new model announced last year :p thanks for your thoughts though, it is around 400kg heavier than the Rocco so I can imagine it being a heavier feeling car.

RS3? But that will be a bit higher in price. Drove behind one yesterday and the 5 cylinder sound is really glorious, something unique it sounds much better in real life

Imo I would not buy another Rocco it's not like it's a bad car or anything but if I get to the point to look out for another car I'd definetly get something different maybe even an RS3/S3 but that will need some more savings ;)
