whats up guys? im currently a 19 year old college student and im thinking about buying a 04-05 S4 but i have a few questions

i have driven 2 2001 and 2002 S4, one auto and one 6spd and i loved the little car, i just didnt feel it was quick enough for me, so i bought a 2003 Mustang Mach 1 and have driven it for the past year, i had a Ford Lightning before the mustang

im looking for something confortable, fast, and sporty with good looks and a auto tranny. is the S4 my car?

what are the differences in the 2004 and 2005 models? hows the gas mileage? thanks in advance!

im also considering a 745i, C32 AMG, 02-04 Z06 *doesnt have a auto though*, new C6 with auto, or a M3 SMG

these S4's tend to be rather rare in the Houston area though, and most are 6spds

they easy to get power out of?

 

I have an 04 and love it. However the B5 is a better platform for mod's

 

The sound and torque are awesome. Fit and finish is the best. Think of it as a refined German muscle/sports car. If raw speed is what your are after, get a "Plastic Fantastic" Vette.

 

Agreed your mustang and an S4 have absoltely nothing in common. And comparred to a mustang ur going to have to pay far out the a$$ to mod an S4. If u want raw speed go with a WRX or something of that nature

 

If you're 19 and looking at these cars, I don't even want to talk to you. I think I had a '67 VW bug when I was 19. Okay, well maybe I'll talk to you anyway. I just got an 05.5 S4 with a V8 and love it. About $50K, but money does not appear to be an issue.

 

05.5 s4?? that doesn't even make sense buddy.....

but the s4 is a great car to own. it's a lot more fun with a manual though. why do you want an auto?? and if you didn't think the b5 model was fast enough. get a ride in a stage 3. and then come back here and tell us how wrong you were.

 

ive been in both an auto and manual b6 s4 (04), auto felt real... meh. the manual was great, go with a manual and its the perfect car... if u can afford the gas

 

ignore my 05.5 comment. i was just told what that meant. i'm an idiot. my apologies to all

 

haha was just gonna say hano.. get your facts straight before you jump on the guy. the 05.5 was the first model of the b7.

 

honestly... i struggled with the debate between athe b6 platform and the b5 wheni was looking for my car. i personally thought that stock they both felt about the same. yes the b6 is quicker stock but i believe their torque is about the same so FEELING wise theyre similar. but the b6/7 interior is much nicer. But like hano side.. try a ride in a stage 3 and its a whole new world. Im glad i made my choice and havent looked back. but its up to you between performance if you want to do mods.. or more quality interior and asthetics.. youll love either.
