Never understood Audi's probably because I actually work on my cars and wasting money is something I don't like doing. Late 80's early 90's just absolute junk cars with electrical nightmares I can only imagine nothing's changed on them other than the people buying Audi's think they are something special?
That’s an outdated view. Audis are actually one of the most reliable vehicles these days. I’ve had more issues with my new 4BW that I did with my VW over 80k miles.
Maybe? I would still bet your 1000's off better with the Cadi @ 150k than VW/AUDI when everything is added up including resale. One just has a prestigious name?
I lived in AZ for 8 years. Miss those desert/mountain roads.
I had a 11 S4 for 8 years and no real problems of any sort and it was tuned with a pulley mod. The supercharged V6 engines make big HP and are known to be bulletproof. Very fast car running on E85. The B8 S4s have tons of aftermarket mod parts, way more than most GM cars of similar sales volume.
Great spec
If missing rock chips and chipped out windshields every other 3 months sounds like fun have at it! Those are some real trashy roads aka: Seven Springs Road I would take my truck out there that's about it.
What was MSRP on S4 from 2011 just curious? S4's have more aftermarket support than comparable LS's? I mean at the time they would be comparable in sales volume? Chevy SS, Audi S4? I would even go as far as to say they probably sold more S4's than Chevy SS
In 2011 I paid $52K for a new S4. I believe the North American production was ~8000 (US and Canada) per year. There were at least 6 companies making high quality catback exhausts and several companies making catless headers (I had EuroCode long tube). Plenty of suspension parts, I had KW V3s coilovers. Lots of tuning options and let’s not forget VCDS for customization. But, more importantly there are a large number of independent shops that actually know how to work on these cars. Maybe I was lucky, but I found some really knowledgeable people that did great work (mods and maintenance) on my car.
Interesting, I probably been sucking to much of the LS kool-Aid
I bet you were a hit with the BMW crowd.
Truth hurts sometimesI bet you were a hit with the BMW crowd.
I had a 2016 Audi S4 manual which I loved and wish I still had. Then I had an S6 which was a great car but lacked personality. Neither cost me a cent in repairs and I did ok when getting out of each of them. I love my 5BW but I have had a ton of issues and it took GM 9 months to figure out the problem and then get parts. I loved my Audis and would have stuck with them if they hadn't moved away from offering any manual transmission options. The S6 would have been awesome with a manual! emdough is correct, I love my 5BW but your view of Audi is a bit outdated.
