Are you going with a fully loaded Carrera as well? If so, I'd go with the Porsche. If it's a zero-optioned Carrera, then I'd go with the S5.

As the owner of a C4S, I'd have to say the Porsche

Tough decision. Agree with the above about the purpose of the car. If it's just you and you need a daily driver, then the S5. If you have a family and an SUV (or the like), the C4S is an extraordinary second/weekend car.

You do realize that one costs nearly twice as much as the other right?

Drove it everyday, sometimes even in the winter.

Get the S5, and with the extra money you saved over the Porsche you can get a Lotus Exige for the weekend!

The C4S has plenty of headroom. The car is quite roomy.

That said, the S5 is more practical for everyday use if you need to load 4 adults.

It would depend on what you need it for.

Given a choice, I would always pick my C4 to drive, but the A5 is quite good as well.

2 different driving experiences. Go drive them, and then go with what works better for you.
