I am a former (01) S4 owner. I was stunned at the performance of the convertible S4, it was amazing. The 4.2 made a hudge differnce. The power is there when you need it. I took it through some bad back roads, and I have to say the combination of the engine and Quattro puts it far ahead of the M3 or ClK/SLK class (non AMG) convertibles. Anyone else have good or bad experiances with this car?

Good to hear!!! Good luck with the new car if ur planning on buying! Also, if i were you id wait till the b7 s4 conv. comes out next year!
