    Is the new S4 recommended?

    I'm very happy with my B6 S4 overall. It may not immediately feel as quick as the B5 but I think that's because of the more linear power delivery. Once you get used to the sight of other cars growing rapidly smaller in the rear-view mirror, you start to appreciate the effortlessness of the car...

    S4 tyre wear

    I replaced my tyres after about 12k IIRC. The outside shoulders on the front two tyres were pretty knackered so I replaced the lot. The insides were worn but not as bad. This may of course reflect driving style. I replaced my Contis with Michelin Pilot Sport 2s and have found them considerably...

    Most people seem to go down the AMD (AMD) or MTM ( QST ) route. If you have a browse around the forums, you'll pick up more info. As regards the warranty, it depends on your service manager. Some won't touch you with a barge pole and some will be okay to cover all but the modded parts. I have...

    S4 power

    Mine's now done 18k and is still improving. I first noticed a difference after about 2k.

    400 Bhp S4

    [ QUOTE ] scoTTy said: [ QUOTE ] DocB said:The other consideration has to be your opinion of ex-demo cars. My (again strictly personal) opinion is that a demo S4 will have been given some stick. Of course, the majority of people buy S4s just for that purpose, so you could argue that any non-new...

    S4 is 'not targeted at the family market'

    Crazy. Even if it is not targeted at the family market, why exclude themselves from extra sales. I lent my S4 saloon to my sister a couple of weeks ago. She is looking for a cab and said that the airbag deactivation might sway her towards an S4. Not any more, it won't.

    400 Bhp S4

    Yep, I've still got a throttle problem with mine too - I can't seem to remove my foot whenever I see open road ahead of me. Sadly, open road is rare in my neck of the woods. In reply to the original post and having looked at the Audi website, then I guess it comes down to personal preference. I...

    RS6 tyres. Can't get 'em!

    I've got the Pilot Sport 2s on my S4 and they are much better than the Contis the car came with. I'd be very surprised if you found them disappointing.

    Goodbye TT, Hello S4

    I'm totally with you there in that the mpg doesn't worry me too much but I'd love it if the tank was bigger. I have to fill up at least once a week and this will only go up if I ever decide to stop fannying around and go to AMD.

    Feedback on AmD chip upgrade w. Milltek exhausts?

    Unfortunately it was a little bit on the drizzly side so I don't think they'd have appreciated me giving the inside a wash. Having said that, the noise from the Millteks is still pretty nice even when inside the cabin. And I'm sure they must have the first stage 3 S4 cabrio as there aren't...
