Default New Daily Driver!





2013 Audi S4 - Phantom Black, black/red leather interior, Prestige package, dual-clutch (so my wife can drive it), carbon inlays, sport diff/suspension. So far it's a blast to drive.

My wife has the same car, 2013 S4. She is always telling me how superior it is to a Porsche! Great daily driver. Good power and very good fuel economy for what it is. Ours is the dual clutch auto as well. Neat transmission.


Good luck and congrats!

Very nice! We have had a couple of Audis of the years as well - great to drive, solid as a rock and reliable. A great pick!

Very Nice, I have had a few Audi's and loved them all. I traded in a TT for the 911 and it was Great. Had an A4 as well and it was tremendous, can not beat the Quattro and fit/finish of Audi.

Nice! Congrats, I've always been a fan of Audi's design but I don't have any experience with owning one. The two people that I know who owns one doesn't like it at all. Both of them had a lot of issues after warranty.

Nice car. The red leather really steps up the interior and says "I'm not your average family sedan"

My wife replaced her '10 S4 with a Honda Odyssey , so the purchase of the 997 was my response to having a van in the family. The S4 is a fantastic car and is missed. A visit to the local APR/GIAC/Revo dealer will give you 400+ hp and almost as much torque.

Looks great! Love the color contrast of the interior. Had an older S4 avant and I still miss it!

Nice. Had a A4 2.0T loaner for a day with 20k miles on it. It was very nice and solid car. The 2.0T engine was plenty strong for everyday use. That S4 engine must really move. I'd get an A4 if we needed a sedan.
