Been looking at all sorts over the last wee while, test drove a couple of C63s (both of which weren't that great) and missed out on a nice white estate facelift for under £18k by a matter of minutes. Drove an E92 M3, as fun as they were to drive I just didn't think it felt "special", maybe it's because I disklike the E-series BMWs and my view was skewed. Drove an RS5, was really nice but the maintenance costs are eye watering. Drove a V8 S5 which was nice but had very high miles and felt it. Then, someone posted this on the classifieds thread and although I didn't really have an interest in the V6 S4, I went and drove it anyway....and to be honest it blew me away! Very highly specced, feels special from the drivers seat, running costs aren't astronomical, nice and quiet when cruising, then when you put your foot down it goes like hell. In manual shifting it just eats through the gears. It's MILES quicker than the RS5 I drove. I've started playing a lot more golf again recently so the 4 doors are a lot handier
2013 S4 Black Edition
Loads of spec, still trying to find out exactly what through MyAudi, but getting there!
Anyway here's a few pics I just grabbed tonight:
And the poor Golf which is now sitting surplus to requirements:
As far as plans go, I'm getting old now so I'm not immediately throwing coilovers into it. I might down the line put some springs in, but I need to do some research on whats best to get. Apart from that, I'm just going to enjoy it! My folks have a house in Donegal so I'll be there a lot in it, great cruiser. Plus brilliant for a quick blast using the paddles. Absolutely loving it so far to be honest, and it wasn't even on my radar a fortnight ago!
