I'd never do it personally. Not a big fan of the RSX or most other japanese cars. Just feel cheaply made, kinda cookie cutter cars. But the insurance, and gas milage would be better. The S4 is a beast with a couple mods. $5000 can get you pretty far with mods. Chip, exhaust, diverters, samco hose kit, and still pleanty left over.

 

like a lot of people say, compare apples to apples. you are comparing an apple to an apple core. i though i read something that they are discontinuing the rsx in favor of another model we all hear **** from. and so f*****g what if you think the auto makes you feel slow. it's an auto, it's out of your hands and you bought it so get over that. but, don't forget, you have a tiny (merkin' stats) engine making some nasty power for all 4 wheels. and you can't say you don't like getting into this car. the one thing i can appreciate about audi is the fact that if i couldn't afford the s4, the a4 comes with the same interior. audi figured out that liking the ride on your way to where you were going is just as important as how you get there. if you haven't had problems yet and you have warranty, i'd say hold out. everyone knows turbos go around 70-100k so if you have some cash, go for upgrade and enjoy the ride! i've said in other posts, if you can afford to enjoy this level of comfort; DO SO! you paid for it, so you of all people know you deserve it!
