I'm in love....
I picked up my S4 tonight. I went from a VW R32 to this, and while I really liked my .:R, this is a whole new type of animal.
Specs are:
Ibis White
Premium +
Active Diff
Bang & Olufsen
19" Wheels
The wheel & tire combo that you see is my winter tire setup. 225x45R18 Alpin PA3 tires. Elbrus I05 ET35 wheels. I'm thoroughly impressed by the wheels, I wanted a no-fuss winter wheel that didn't look horrible and these fit the bill 110%. Plus, at a $125 ea...I'm still in awe at the quality. The perfect winter wheel!

Did you have a MKIV or MKV R32? I have a MKV R32 and MKV GTI. Both with DSG. I had a MKV GTI with 6MT before I got the R. I'm just curious what tranny you had before and what you have now in the S4. I didn't like the GTI's 6MT too much. The clutch was a little too soft for my taste and the engine wasn't loud enough to give much tactile feedback. I'm torn between the 6MT and S-Tronic when I place my order for the S4. I love DSG, but I do miss a proper manual. It doesn't help that I can't really test drive the S4 before ordering it.

Sweet another Ibis joins the club! Wow Alaska! That's Quattro country! Enjoy the new ride! You'll have to give us some feedback on the sport diff in the snow.
