I assume he set up the poll because the prices of the B5s4 and B6 A4 are comparable. He wants to know what you guys would buy in a real world situation with limited cash in hand.

In my case I think I would take the B6 2.0. I think mainly because I am tired of the B5 interior - have had 2 of them now... Still, hard to pass up the tunable monster...

wait I thought there was no B6 2.0? I agree... it would be nice to have a B6 it would be nicer to have an S4 with BT setup and a bunch of goodies to blow the doors off of porches.

yeah - not sure if there even was a B6 2.0. Probably some crossover models during the change from B6 to B7.

A B5 s4 would be awesome. If I didn't like the b6 bodystyle much more I would have a b5 s4. The A4 will be more reliable, but I think it really just comes down to the bodystyle. If you like b5's, the s4 is the way to go. That engine is amazing.

Oh and another thing, your comparing totaly different classes.

b6 1.8T has nothing on the b5 S4.

your comparing a biturbo luxury S model to a regular 1.8t .. doesnt work like that
I think its a great comparsion. They cost almost exactly the same used, and they are both Audi's. I had to make the same desicion.

If your a speed nut with cash then yes, the b5. But then again if your a speed nut with cash you wouldn't be asking this question. You are way better off getting a b6. Bigger, more solid, newer, better looking. Theres just no comparison. Everyone that has a b5 bashes b6s, it'll never stop. But the bottom line is, the b6 is a totally reworked b5. I had a b5 for 7 years, when I got my b6 it made my b5 seem like a camry in every way.
