Ok, to S4 owners who do not have the rear Sports differential, are you still having the time of your life driving the S4 ? Or do you fully regret not having it?

No regrets. Don't notice that I don't have it and even if I did have it, would probably not notice in my daily driving. =)

I think I saw a post where someone mentioned that unless you're tracking your car (or live in an area with lots of twisties), most people will only notice the difference when taking freeway onramps?

Do not notice I do not have it. My s4 handles way better than my a5 sline did. Drove one with sport differential when I bought mine. I know sport differential is good but I can not tell difference how I drive.

You cant miss what you haven't experienced.

I have driven both before I bought and I would NOT buy one w/o a rear diff, it has a great feel like rear steering.

The S4 drive test without the Rear wheel differential is described in this article as even better than the BMW 335's handling ...

I've tested the S4 with the Sports Diff and the corning was superb, but I have not tested the S$ without it. However, I have tested the 3.0 A6 sedan with the 40/60 rear bias quattro and that handled better than the 50/50 quattros.

How's the ordinary Audi sound system?

drove both. got mine without (impatient). no regrets at all. i do fair amount of twisty runs as well. I dont need the extra help of the rear diff lol I still hang with the P-cars, ///Ms and the likes. but SD can be fun as well. I think it boils down to personal preference

Do you think only a few S4 owners have rear sports differential. Probably more have Nav and B/O than the sports Diff.

fire up a poll on who has or doesn't have sport diff.
