BradyCat Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 That's the car I was deciding between when I bought my subie back in September. But the 6MT's didn't arrive until a few months ago, so I would've had to wait all winter, and I don't own snowshoes.... No regrets though, I think I would've been a little disappointed with the A4's top end power.... but still a VERY sweet car, congrats Did you opt for the Audi Drive Select thingy? 2013 Ford Taurus SHO 2009 Spec.B SWP Stg 2+ Airboy tuned 2010 Toyota Sequoia Platinum 5.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGT Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I love how they look and would have considered an S4 Avant but the maintenance/warranty issues was a deal-breaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tide Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 wife only drives 3-5k a year, its meteor grey / grey with prestige. didn't get audi select as its not a car I'll drive on my own. it's plenty of power for her. what you give up in power the interior imho makes up for it, it really floored me. basically its the family car for the next 6. and i can do what i want to the suby http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2009/03/buick-jaguar-unseat-lexus-atop-jd-power-reliability-study.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradyCat Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Audi's reliability has come a LONG way, and the 2009+ A4 platform will be another big leap forward. Overall reliability actually has been excellent in the A4's since MY'06+ especially in the 2.0T. The new A4 based S4 (3.0 V6 Supercharged/Intercooled 333 bhp) is not out yet and I would venture it will be a huge improvement over the old S4 (4.2 L V8) in terms of reliability, not to mention fuel economy, with a slight increase in performance a well. Besides, my early experiences with my first Subaru (original car = engine blown, second car = speakers buzzing, squeaks and rattles everywhere) haven't exactly helped win me over yet; and when the time comes to choose my next car, hopefully not for a few years, the S4 may just get my vote.
