How would you spec it?

We can have image captions now?

I’d have mine in Mythos Black Metallic, with the 7-Speed DSG, Technology package, Sports dif and the adapting suspension. All for $56, 475. (Yes, I would have the automatic one, the DSG is amazing.)

whatever’s left when I immediately sell it and pocket the rest. S4 just doesn’t do it for me. Way too tasteful!

(joking), I’d spec mine with the DSG, Moonlight blue metallic, brown leather, and the 5-spoke rims.

The only reason the S4 is even still relevant is because it’s one of the very few AWD sports sedans still offered with a manual. They havent REALLY changed it in a dog’s age. I’d love to have one with a manual, but without it, why not get something newer.

Svend > jkm7680 02/28/2016 at 13:14

The S4 is ‘TBC’ on the U.K. site. I can spec an A4 but seems the S4 isn’t configurable on the site just yet.

So I will take a Skoda Octavia vRS, 2.0TSi 220ps manual.

The equivalent A4 2.0TFSi 6 speed is £3,000 more and 30ps down on the Octy.

Not really an issue, because the only reason to use the car would be to get out of the city.

Sport suspension from the GLI. Front and rear sway bars and lower I think.

Viper Green. Manual (if they even offer it).

Just Viper green would be fine, really.

CounterTorqueSteer > jkm7680 02/28/2016 at 14:33

Estoril Blue, DSG, Carbon interior trim, same wheels as you, cross stitch bucket seats.

CounterTorqueSteer > jkm7680 02/28/2016 at 15:03

The S4 is one of those rare cars where the automatic is CLEARLY better than the manual. When I worked at Audi, I hated the feel of the stick. Slushbox.

jkm7680 > CounterTorqueSteer 02/28/2016 at 15:09

Agreed, it’s a much better transmission in every aspect.

I dunno. I quite like the new B9 A4, but if we have to do the S4, I’ll do a Premium Plus with the Auto in Ibis White with the sport diff.

That's not a new one so it doesn't count.

Pretty similar to yours except added the black optics package, plus I’d go get the windows tinted as dark as possible.

$62K plus tinting.

jkm7680 > Galileo Humpkins (aka MC Clap Yo Handz) 02/28/2016 at 16:51

Car companies should really offer tint as a dealer installed or factory option.

Galileo Humpkins (aka MC Clap Yo Handz) > jkm7680 02/28/2016 at 16:53

I agree, I feel like there are very few dealers that do still. I haven’t run into one in a long time, and even then I think it was just something that they could/would do if you really wanted it.

jkm7680 > Galileo Humpkins (aka MC Clap Yo Handz) 02/28/2016 at 16:57

I believe BMW did it for the 7-Series a few years ago, but I haven’t heard much else.

I’m also surprised that the DSG is so popular in this thread. I honestly think it’s easily twice as good as the manual.....

I think those are his winters (winter in Seattle ha ha) because I've seen it on some set of Vox or something similar

Spaceball-Two > jkm7680 02/28/2016 at 19:49

Not bad. A little for my taste and the matte gives it an orange look. But to each their own.

Galileo Humpkins (aka MC Clap Yo Handz) > jkm7680 02/28/2016 at 20:07

I think given that it’s an S Audi and their modern manuals have a rep for being a little lackluster and the autos being top notch, I’m not overly surprised. Being that it’s Oppo though, it is a little shocking.

When I bought mine I couldn’t find one in the color I wanted with a sports diff so I went without it. However installing a bigger rear sway bar and end links as I just did eliminates the problem of understeer for the most part. I also understand the sports diff repair cost if it fails greatly outweighs the $1100 for the initial upgrade.

I would spec it as an RS, with a manual, so I can have fun AND be faster

I had a B8 S4 with the stick and it was phenomenal. Better than my 335i was.

Every VW or Audi I’ve driven with the DSG has been worse for it.

American version:

Canadian version(since I live there):

Interior is the same on both, also I did two different ones cause you Americans can’t these beautiful 5-spoke rims.

Daytona gray, red leather inserts, black optics, sport diff, adaptive damping...and 6MT.
