Default Re: No offense, but if you're not sure between those, you shouldn't be getting an S4

Exactly. I ask because I have learned from experience that comparison test drives do not tell you everything. It is impossible to know the real differences in two cars from test drives. You only get to know and understand a car after some lengthy seat time. Divergent views on a board like this are quite helpful in addition to test drives.

Default Want a back seat? Get the A6

Otherwise, for more sporty driving, get the S4.

And if you can't figure that out yourself, you shouldn't even be buying an Audi.

Default I don't agree with that.

10 minutes in any car is enough for me to determine if I'm going to buy it.

Default You mean you have never owned a car

that became less and less comfortable or inspiring after driving it for a while? Only the really good cars can keep your interest over the long term. I simply cannot always tell in a test drive whether a car is such a car.

Default Yeah, Bob has only had *really good cars*. I admittedly have purchased

cars without a ton of seat time as well. I bought one car without any seat time once. Just ordered it and trusted it would be a good car. It was.

Do they have some kind of test to decide if it's true or not?

Default Tossability or comfort - simple as that.

A6 4.2 is a sporty sedan, not a sports sedan.
