When they break (like all fast audis) they are eye wateringly expensive.
All fast cars will break and be expensive, not just Audi's.When you have owned and maintained a fast car then your opinion will be more respected.

You dont have an RS6 either so he's as entitled to his opinion as you are. An S4 is a rather different animal to an RS6.
I used to own/run an RS6+ Avant and the wife used the S4.She then took a job which was a further commute, so we made the decision to get rid of the oldest on the fleet.
And yes, it was a lot to run, but that never put me off using it on a daily basis.
DRC was never an issue or gearbox, similarly a friend of mine who had a saloon non +.
Back to the OP, a lot of these cars are starting to get into high miles which is a bit of an unknown territory.

Somehow I expect this thread will go the same way as the M5 one did. Plenty of people claiming it will cost you your house and your sanity and the rest saying it won't cost that much.
You've forgotten option 3 - people claiming that they're no less ruinous to run than a Focus if you undertake regular preventative maintenance the fact that this maintenance is ruinous is besides the point. Personally I've never really understood who buys this sort of car at this price bracket. If you can afford to run one you can almost always afford a better example.

thats the truth of it, if you can afford to run one you can afford to hunt around pay a bit more and get a tidy oneGassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
