A3 or S4?
Today i went into town and test drove both a brand new 2005 A3 and used 2000 S4. The A3 was a red MT6 and the very base model. The S4 was auto with tip with some standard package, no sport package that i desire. The reason for test driving these two cars is that i am interested in buying one. The problem although is that i do not know which one to get. I dont know what it was, maybe i didnt push it hard enough, or the fact that the A3 is a manual, but the S4 seemed somewhat slower than the A3. They are both around the same price (S4- $20k A3-$25K). Another issue would be the cost of repairs and the frequency of repairs.... would the S4 be much higher? So im kind of stumped right now between the two because they are both amazing cars. Could someone please help me, or are they just two different worlds?

Again today i test drove the S4 and this time i didnt hold back, and still does not feel as quick as the A3. The A3, in my opinion, does not look as agressive as i'd like it to, and not soo much like a sports car...but when i was driving it, it sure felt like one.

No Imola..he said a 2000 S4, I believe that would be a B5.
If I were in the market, I'd buy the new A3. You'd get full warranty and the new 2.0T engine. The S4 should definitly be faster..even if it takes minor modding like a chip. Gotta ask yourself what the car is gonna be used for. Also, I bet the A3 gets better gas milage. Both cars are insane!
