S5 Convertible - Buying Advice/Ownership Experience?

[SiT]

Looking for a 4 seat ‘performance’ convertible with a Jekyl and Hyde nature. Have a shed for commuting but would like a nice convertible for weekends and holidays, ability to ferry around wife/daughter occasionally but equally happy on a Sun morning blast.

Had been considering E93 M3, B7 RS4 but my head has been turned by an Audi S5 convertible but don’t know enough about them.

I have seen the Chris Harris video of S4 Avant which shares the same 3.0 engine as S5 with a little remap magic it eats a B8 RS4 so I assume the same could be achieved with S5??

Always thought the S5 was a well proportioned car and with canvas roof it keeps weight and complexity down, benefits from Quattro which is nice.

Any thoughts on these??

Don’t know much about the S5 but convertibles are normally about 100kgs heavier than the tin top version.
My S4 2004 weighed 1840kg
