Vs 5-series vs A6 vs cts vs E350

[klier]

P.S.
If it's the A6 then I reckon it's as much to do with it's engine as anything else.

But nothing beats the magical I6 from BMW, particularly no VAG engine.

To each his own

Without a turbo the E350 simply can't cut it in terms of performance and responsiveness.

E350's na engine should be most responsive without turbos...it does lack the low rpm punch though if that's what you mean?

Your usual anti-VAG BS. Why not answer the other question others are asking of you. lol

I vote for the car that in my eyes has the perfect exterior and the perfect interior. One of the best Audis out there right now; The A6.

I voted for it because of it's superior engine in this particular test.

 

[Benek]

A6 would be my choice for quattro, handling, equipment, quality and of course the underrated engine.

 

[Zafiro]

I would pick 5-series for design, driving comfort, heavy weight and its awful steering feel...

why is it superior?

 

[Deckhook]

^Well IMO it has the best sound, has the sweetest power delivery and regardless of the official figures I reckon it's producing the most amount of power.

and how would you describe its power delivery beeing sweeter than bmws? because numbers show that bmws engine has peak torque and power earlier and probably keeps it longer

I'm purely talking about my experience in both with owning an S4 and driving the friend's E90 335i, IMO the opposite was true in that the SCv6 had a smoother delivery that lasted long. No data to supply as proof just how each felt.

so your claim that it has a SUPERIOR engine is pretty far fetched

Is that your opinion from prior experience like mine or just an opinion?

no prior experience, its just that the fact that audi's v6 would be better than bmw's i6 doesnt sit with me well, so i try to disvalidate (is that even a word?) your statements as much as i can

Was I right about the CTS beating it`s competitors in the fun to drive category?
Here, it simply blows them away!
My only real complaint in it was the rear seat room, (about the size of the C-Class Benz.)

^Is it a surprising results for the Caddy, maybe it's typical US rags favoritism (j/k) or is the car simply that good to drive ?

Clearly the former. Well said.

LOL!! I laughed

I honestly can't comment if that's indeed true because I have no experience of the Caddy but it must be brilliant to be better than the finest from Germany.

You need to take this car for a spin one time before coming to that conclusion. (it is clearly ahead of the German competition in terms of driving performance)
There would be a 95% it would change your opinion. It really is that good!

As you can see the CTS beat the others with the highest "fun to drive" score. Nothing to laugh about there.
