Sweet car, I am taking delivery of it's 6-speed twin later today! My 2011 has been absolutely flawless for 5 years/95k, so I decided to grab another before Audi changed the recipe. Enjoy it!

Nice car. I just test drove an S5 just for the hell of it and besides the better handling over my 2013 S4 (because it is a coupe), I definitely noticed better feel on the steering. I'm guessing because of better programming. I love my S4 and if it wasn't for having to deal with the old school tech for another 3 years (newer models have far better and faster MMI performance and functionality) I would strongly consider getting into another S4 or S5.

I have everything in dynamic except the transmission. I can slide the gear shifter over when I want to play with/through the gears. Otherwise, I like to lay low.
Oh that's just brilliant! I'd been trying to come up with a good use for "Individual."

Thanks!

On a funny side note, I took a picture and remember hearing a car drive buy but wasnt paying attention to anything other than my car. Nothing to see here, officer!

I have been driving my brothers 2016 Audi S4 for the past few days (as he is out on vacation or wouldnt let me touch it!).
He purchased it October 25th 2015.
This thing is a beauty! The engine outright roars. Monsoon Gray Metallic exterior and the Magma Red interior.. The co

lor combination has me drooling every time I look at it.

Happy New Year

Quick question. I have a 2014 B8.5 S4 that I bought with 5k miles and she now has 18k miles. My brakes are SUPER loud almost all the time until they warm up. Does anyone else have this issue. I mean SUPER embarrassing loud to the point that anyone in the car with me is like "what's wrong with your brakes" Dealer said you have to warm them up by doing hard stops to get rid of the squeaking. It's brutal. Most of the time they quiet down but sometimes they don't. Anyone else experience this with S4. Thx

Default Congratulations on the the new S4...

… beautiful combo. You have such great roads at your disposal for seriously fun runs… Nacimiento Road, CA58, CA1 to Big Sur before 7am - the list goes on.

With respect to the brakes, our S4/S5's do the same thing. They get a glaze that must be removed via hard braking. After a week of slow commuting, the brakes squeal - after 5 miles in the mountains, all is good again. When the OEM pads wear out, consider aftermarket pads that will be low dust/no squeak. Check with CarboTech or ECS.

Here is a pic of the winding path of Nacimiento Road when I was there last May.

Happy New Year

Eric
