Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Audi S5 than the Ford Mustang. The Ford Mustang will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Audi S5.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Audi S5 as you will with the Ford Mustang, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Audi S5 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Ford Mustang, which has a much lower MSRP.

Since the Audi S5 is much slimmer than the Ford Mustang, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. The Audi S5 is slightly shorter than the Ford Mustang, which may make it easier to park.

Powertrain
