Awesome Chris! Congrats. That is why my 911 is a PDK. Wifey can't drive a stick and honestly I love the dual clutch. Always have the 993 when I need to row.

My previous car was a 2010 B8 S4 and it was great. No question the fit and finish is top notch - it's a great daily driver. What turned me off was Audi flagging the cars at the service dept for any modifications (look up TD1 - plenty of interesting reading). I was an Audi customer for years and years until recently. Here in Northern Virginia at least, Audi is the new BMW.......

Congrats on a sweet new DD, Chris. Sorry if this is a little O/T, but would you care to share your reason(s) for trading the Golf R in for the S4? I'm contemplating a Golf R or a used S4 for my next car, and would be interested in your impressions of the two cars.
Cheers,
Dan

Great car. I dearly wish Audi would offer that motor in the Avant (now Allroad). The Q5 now has it, and the SQ5 looks like it will be a nice combo, would prefer a new A4 Savant! But for now, the S4 is a great combo IMO. Enjoy.

Very nice Chris.
I have been looking at S4 and S5's lately, but cant get past all the comments regarding reliability issues. Hopefully you will have a trouble free car - as they are very easy on the eyes.
I look forward to any future updates on performance, reliability, etc.
Congrats again.

This is correct - the 2010's had a plastic impeller in the water pump that had a tendency to blow up. That was replaced under warranty and other than that I never had a single issue with the car (beyond squealing brakes in sub 32F weather). The B8 was a hell of lot more reliable than the previous V8 S4 that I had.
