Default My New Ride!

I picked up my new 2015 the other day and am very impressed with the upgrades over my last S4 which was a 2012. Here are a few pictures with the caveat that I am a crappy photog. The car is loaded, 6MT, Black Optic, Adaptive Cruise (amazing), suspension, drive select, black/Silver Nappa, supercharged badges no front plate grill. A word about the wheels which really concerned me when ordering.... My 2012 had the Black Optic package and the wheels were really nice so I was quite hesitant about this car's package because I wasn't sold on the wheels. Of course to each their own but the wheels look so much different and better in person that in photos. The wheels are made very well and the floral look that you see in pictures just isn't present in person. To anyone that is on the fence on this wheel, make sure you get a look in person. The car handles MUCH better than the 2012, Audi has done some tweaks and the suspension package really is impressive, I am enjoying the car a lot and I got a great deal on it too!

I have not heard about any suspension changes on the b8.5 S4. Can anyone else confirm this?

I am looking at a '15 myself, nearly identical. Would you mind sharing info on the price you were able to negotiate? Thanks!

These type of threads should receive a warning. After 3 warning automatic IP ban.

The 3 warnings is generous.

Uh, your 2012 probably just needed an alignment. Any car that doesn't feel "new" just needs some maintenance.

Windows - open in paint, choose resize and change from 100 to 50 percent and save.

Mac, open in Preview, choose tools adjust size and change the 2 100 percent to 50 and save.

If it is still too big, open again and make it even smaller.
