Then let's flip the sound score from 8-6 to 6-8. That brings the M4 to 233 and the RS5 to 231. Much closer. The m4 would still have the edge but mainly due to its track performance. That's how I would score it but I of course am biased..

Everyone's biased.
The point of those "scores" are to apply a veneer of objective legitimacy to an obviously subjective evaluation. Just like with video game reviews, wine reviews, or movie reviews, the numbers are not valid or reliable (statistically speaking). You can be sure that the outcome is preordained based on the subjective, and then the "objective" is tweaked to produce the final result. "Yeah, that braking is really much better, let's shift a point there" etc. Or, they change the weighting "braking is now worth 20 points, not 15."
