New S4
I just traded up from an early 98 30V A4 quattro to the S4. After having drivne both back-to-back, the S4 is really a totally different car. I love it! It is much more than an A4 with a turbo. The difference in handling is at least as great as the difference in performance.
The only downside has been that it was "keyed" within 24 hours of picking the car up. Out of 10 days of ownership, it has been at the shop from Friday until yesterday.
The brake dust is driving me crazy! I have searched the archives - is there a semi-metallic pad available for the S4? I have used Metalmasters and Mintex Red Box pads in my other cars (a New Beetle GLX and BMW Z3) both for improved performance and less dusting. Are pads such as these available for the S4?
