Hi all. I just picked up my first Audi....a 2001 S4. I've only had it for 4 days but I'm lovin' it. I just finished the lease on my 2002 Acura RSX Type-S. I loved the RSX but it's time for something a little more solid.

Any advice for a new owner? The car has 50K miles on it. The only problem I have is that the ashtray won't open. Other than that, the car appears to be absolutely perfect.

Also, I've seen alot on this forum and others about the differences between the 2001 and the 2001.5 cars. How can I tell the difference? I have the newer-style badges. Is it true that the S4 logo is on the tach in the .5's and the speedo on the older models?

Thanks! Nice to be here.
