As prompted by Bristle Hound, now that the car has been delivered, this is my own S4 Avant thread.
So, the starting point.
For the last 3 and a bit years, I had been driving an Audi SQ5. Objectively its been a great car, as literally not a single thing has gone wrong or needed replaced, fuel economy has been very good for the performance/size of car, its comfortable and had all the space I’ll ever need.
The problem was I didn’t love the car the same way I did the B8 S4 Saloon that I traded in against the SQ5. Being honest, over the time I owned it, I came to somewhat regret buying an SQ5 rather than an S4 Avant back in 2013………….
So then I started me thinking about what to buy next. After ruling out some of the more mad ideas I had (a completely impractical second hand Maserati GranTurismo or 911), the shortlist ended up with the choice between an S4 Avant or a C43 AMG Estate.
Ultimately the better quality interior and far better discounts/trade-in meant an S4 Avant was purchased back in October from my local dealer.
