Default possibly a new s4 owner

hey guys.

I'm in the market for a new car and have been test driving a few different ones. the ones i've tried are, c63 , s4, m3, isf and after test driving the few. i really didn't like the m3. i don't know what it is but it felt weird.

i have narrowed down to either an c63 or an s4. The prices I saw were in the high 20's to low 30's. is that an reasonable price for it? any particular problems with the s4? i read the 2.0 t has an problem with oil consumption. any problems with the motors?

I'm looking something to keep for the next few years, something reliable.

thanks.

On my 3rd B8 S4 , because the S4 is a great car and I can't find anything in the price range that I want or like better. No real issue that have not been fixed and no years to avoid . Although some do complain about the steering on the 2013 models. There have been some oil consumption issues. In fact, my current 2011 (which I bought used) does burn some oil. 2 causes. 1) Faulty PCV valve. 2) Incomplete piston ring seating from improper break in technique. Some advice. Do not buy an s4 without the Sport Dif. Also, If you don't buy a CPO'd unit, buy an extended warranty. ALL German cars are expensive to repair .
