Looks like the Coupe has been forgotten again, EVO reckon these are the best sounding 5 cylinder engines in the latest issue: Audi Sport Quattro Audi TT RS Focus RS500 Volvo 850 T5 VW V5 Maybe its time to offer Harry and the team a normally aspirated Coupe to listen to

Seems pretty daft that 4 out of the 5 above are turbo charged (maybe 5 not sure on the VW) Anyone should know an NA engine of any variety sounds better than a turbo - as the exhaust note is not being strangled BY the turbo!

Really odd as the "Best Sounding" Five pots are generally the ones without a Turbo and a CAT!
Gone Audi mad!

I'm sorry but out of all the 5 pots, the Quattro and the Coupe's are the most epic I've heard!

Interesting - having owned a Volvo 850 T5 I can confirm that the Coupe (even in turbo form) sounds far better. The turbo 5 cylinder is faaar better sounding IMO, N/a is a beaut, and with a turbo is mmmmmmmmmmm
