Default Just traded my '17 A4 for the '18 S4

After 10 months with my 2017 P+ A4, I decided to upgrade to a P+ S4. I've had this car for three days and I'm absolutely in love.

Compared to the quiet 2.0 in the A4, this car sounds incredible. I love the dynamic steering (it may not be for everyone), and the car really does make you feel as though you can do just about anything.

Mine has the 19s with the summer tires, and I can already tell these will probably not make it to 20k miles, but I think it's worth it.

Anyone else coming from the A4? I was originally worried about getting a car that looks so similar to the A4, but I am extremely satisfied.

Absolutely gorgeous!

I ordered a 2018 S4 Prestige, N Blue with black interior. I did not get the dynamic steering. Are you thinking about replacement tires down the road? I'm all in with Michelin Pilot Sport AS 3 Plus. Probably get 40,000 miles

Thanks, the blue is going to look amazing!

I actually love the way the stock ones are performing. Possibly Pilot Super Sports when these reach their limits, but I would not mind another set of these.

This is my first car not on all-seasons, and I am enjoying it!

That's actually my favorite thing about the S4. It's such a wonderful Q-ship. It doesn't stand out in a crowd but the driver knows.

Very nice car! I've got the dynamic steering on mine that's arriving next month. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on it in more detail.

Congrats on the new car!
I love the styling of the B9 S4. It is refined, classy, and is an absolute sleeper. Audi's designers kept that balance of form and function. It doesn't need the overly aggressive styling of other cars which is why I'm staying loyal with this make/model. I also have a N.Blue S4 prestige coming in 3 weeks and I'm turning in my B8.5 Ibis Prestige back soon.

Carrys4: How long did it take for your car to arrive?

I ordered March 31st. So I'd say about 3 months total. It's on its way to the port of San Diego now and should arrive at my dealership in 3 weeks.

I'm hoping mine will take less time--maybe a week or so earlier--since I'm on the east coast. Perhaps I'm just trying to get it here sooner LOL!
