I know this car has gotten some bad press on this board but I was able to pick up a new one for what I feel was a very good deal so I couldn't pass it up. I just wish it wasn't black, I'm going to be spending A LOT of time detailing....
Here are a few photos, it goes in Tuesday for a "clear bra" and light tint.
Not actually ours but so you get the idea of the interior...
We had been looking at getting an S4 or S60R for a while. I liked the performance of the S4 better, but the interior of the S60R is so much nicer than the Audi. Plus it gets better gas milage and was over 10K cheaper than even 05.5 S4s are right now.
We got the manual and it is really fun to drive. I love the ability to electronically control the suspension. At first I thought this was a gimmick but after going quickly through several 90 degree turns near our house with different settings you can see a really feel a big difference between "comfort", "sport" and "advanced".
The turbo is really smooth. Torque is around 295 ft/lb from 2000-5000 rpm. And 300hp is plenty fun. The 4 piston calipers at least look that they can stop the car quickly, although I haven't tested that feature yet...
Overall I really like this car. I just wish she would let me drive it more
