    Ordered... S4 Avant

    A6 3.0L Diesel Black Edition Quattro - really nice, A5 3.0L Diesel Quattro - didn't think the 7 speed gearbox worked as well as the 8 speed on our SQ5 and thought it felt old fashioned Still debating the S4 Avant - other half prefers the SUV up slightly higher feeling

    Ordered... S4 Avant

    Our SQ5 (May 2013) has had a number of issues, including engine problems such as loss of power and complete sunroof replacement and has proved less reliable than our previous very early build Q5, dealer has sorted all pretty painlessly and I've had a number of interesting Audi loan cars, but its...

    S4 reviews by forum members

    ZF gearbox in our SQ5 with the BiTDi is significantly better in my opinion than the 7 speed in the Q5 or A5 3.0TDI that I've driven

    B9 S4 Info Thread

    Spoke to my dealer who said both the Saloon and Avant will be 354 PS, I'm going to wait to see the launch of the new Q5 next week before making a decision but Orange Wheels quoted a £6289 discount (if taking finance) on a £53,860 Avant and Audi finance on the S4 Avant is at 3.90% APR which is...

    B9 S4 Info Thread

    Spoke to my dealer who said first cars would be coming through as early as November. I'm a little disappointed that all the reviews aren't particularly positive of the S4 or its main competitor that I was also thinking of, the MB C43 AMG - Autocar even said best to buy a Porsche Macan S

    B9 S4 Info Thread

    Are those lease rates good? £26,076 over 48 months just to rent the car sounds like an expensive way to run a £44K car to me, especially if you can get 10-15% discount so you're actually renting a £38K car.

    B9 S4 Info Thread

    Discount from broker looks like 10% on a £52K car, although I haven't spoken to my preferred dealer yet to compare. We're currently running an SQ5 (now 40 months old) and managed around 9% off when that was launched so would be disappointed if it wasn't similar on an S4 Avant - not sure whether...
