    Daytona vs. Monsoon - I need input

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I am pretty much set on upgrading my 2012 S4 to a 2015, and I've been deliberating on color. I want to be done with black for a while...currently on my 3rd black car in a row and I'm tired of all the work to keep it looking clean. Ibis white is probably my #1 choice but I can't find any with the options I want in circulation, and do not want to wait 3 months to build one. So I am vacillating between Monsoon and Daytona. I know personal preference of aesthetics is a major factor, but I'm trying to bring as much logic as possible into the process to help steer my decision. So far I have the following list of thoughts (random pros and cons) for comparing the colors, and I would like anyone with either color to chime in with any relevant commentary: (when I use relative words like "less", "more" etc I'm comparing the two grays unless otherwise specified)

    Monsoon:
    * Should show less scratches / swirl marks / dust / dirt due to being a lighter shade of gray
    * It appears a bit more "bland" compared to the deeper Daytona color
    * It is very close in color to various gunmetal wheels (e.g. OEM Audi 5-arm rotors), which makes for very little contrast when running that wheel color
    * The lighter shade of gray helps to show the lines/creases of the body in a more pronounced way than the darker gray
    * May show less of that residual wash/rain water trail from the window weather stripping and down the front doors below the mirrors due to the lighter shade of gray

    Daytona:
    * Will show more scratches / swirl marks / dust / dirt due to its darker color, but should still fare better than Brilliant Black. Not sure by how much, though. (I'm most curious about this point!)
    * On the B8.5 body the darker gray looks more "business" while the lighter gray looks more "sport"
    * It is dark enough to have adequate contrast against bright silver wheels (obviously) as well as gunmetal/anthracite wheels like the OEM 5-arm rotors
    * Darker color makes lines/creases in the sheet metal look less pronounced
    * Darker color offers better contrast between car body and Alu-optic accents
    * Hard to picture the potential of this car when lowered, tinted and with aftermarket wheels fitted because there aren't many out there yet (at least not in B8.5 body style). There are plenty of modified B8.5 A5's / S5's / RS5's out there in this color, and they look great, but the color seems to work a bit better on the '5' body than the '4'.
    * Since Daytona is newly a standard color for 2015 S4's, there are less Daytona's on the road than there are Monsoons for the time being. So there is a short-term rarity factor

    Are there any other points I should consider?

    Avus silver IMO!

    DG will me muchhhh MUCH easier to care for over BB.

    After seeing DG in person several times lately, I say MG for sure. DG can have a dirty/green tint to it. I always though it was a pure grey. Nope. It's a bit too dark for me too.

    I also saw one in person last weekend on a B8.5 S4 at a dealer's lot. It had the standard chrome trim (which I would plan on having, too). I agree that the DG takes on an almost green/brown tone in certain lights, which is not appealing to me. Meanwhile I do like the stark contrast between the DG color and bright silver finish wheels which I typically run. The Monsoon color offers less contrast in this department, and in comparison looks a bit "washed out".

    You're right, I am thinking too hard. But it's one of the few things on the car aesthetically that is not affordable to change.

    Monsoon in my opinion too but Mops and I might be the minority.

    Here's my non-scientific answer, Daytona, it's more exclusive and IMO looks better.

    There was a thread about this with actual comparison photos in decent lighting. I still voted Daytona :)

    Yep, and the Daytona exclusivity is shot. Avus or Prism IMO.

    I should add, I'm definitely not considering paying a premium for a non-standard color. This is probably a ~3 year car for me, so I will live with a standard color.

    I say scratch both options and go for Suzuka Grey. BUT, since that's not an option unless you order it as an Audi Exclusive color, I'd go with Monsoon as well. Daytona just isn't my cup of tea.

    Monsoon for me.. allows you to play around with the wheel color a lot. In my opinion atleast.

    Monsoon with the Alu-optics package won me over and will give you the contrast you may be looking for. Daytona is just too dark in my opinion and not much different than Black when it comes to keeping it clean and attempting to hide swirl marks and other imperfections. In addition, the metallic in the Monsoon paint really looks great in the sun. Good luck with your decision Steve and please get the coveted sport differential to keep Swank off your back!

    Gotta love that Monsoon Works well with both black and silver. I'm definitely getting black track wheels once I can save up the cash.

    ^ I've been looking at your track photos daily. There is no denying that Monsoon looks incredible in overcast/rainy/low-light conditions. I'm more concerned with it looking bland or washed out on a sunny day.
    Maybe I'm being neurotic and I should just pull the trigger on the Monsoon one and try something new.

    I love Monsoon, has more variety in the color depending on lighting to me than Daytona. Daytona is still nice… yeah it used to be more exclusive, but that isn't the case anymore… and I also feel like it hides the body lines more than Monsoon does… just doesn't do it for me like Monsoon...

    I think both look great, but Daytona for me. I prefer the darker color. On Daytona, I feel like black optics is a must. On Monsoon, you can go either way.

    I think the paint on the Monsoon looks great in the sun. The metallic "pops" nicely.

    I also think the interior of the car would stay cooler with the Monsoon since it's lighter. Not sure if you care about that or not.

    That is an important aspect which I have considered. When I was on the dealer's lot last Sunday (about 80 degrees and sunny out), I put my hand on the DG S4 and the MG A3 sitting near it, and to the touch they were similarly hot. I was actually surprised that the MG wasn't cooler to the touch. But in any case, it should be cooler than Brilliant Black.

    That is surprising. My last car was black on black and I decided never again. Just too darn hot in it all the time.

    It's much better but it hasn't been as hot. On a sunny day that car was an oven even when it was 50 degrees outside.

    Daytona in bright sunlight. (Taken with a dedicated camera)




    Daytona in shade. (Taken with a cellphone)



    In reality I believe the color is between the two tones you see on both pictures. I know it's hard on choosing a color. It was a headscratcher for myself aswell. However happy with my choice! Can't go wrong with either one imo.

    Either way is fine. Aslong as it helps you with making a choice! :)
    I'll see if I can post a few more.

    Monsoon is a great color and a more "stable color" in my opinion. Daytona has more richness to it but is more finicky depending on lighting. Good luck in any case!

    I like daytona. I don't like that monsoon looks blue or green in certain light. I know daytona has a tint to it as well but its more of a pure gray in my opinion.

    I own a 2012 Monsoon and love it, BUT I would have chosen Daytona if it was available.

    I'm on the opposite side of that spectrum. It's all about what YOU want. You can request opinions about anything. Just get what you want and what YOU like the best. My $.02. Cheers s4nAri.

    Monsoon is a sharp color but I would say Daytona looks a lot nicer sitting side by side. My folks have a Daytona A5 and Monsoon Q5 so I see them compared frequently
