Default S4 vs. 330

It is coming down to the wire, I have to make my decision. I know this is a dumb question in Audi World, but will the 330 be able to take on the S4.....not chipped. I test drove a 328 fully loaded and that car handles amazing and with more power would be even a better car. your guys thoughts?

Comes down to Quattro. Do you live in an area with adverse weather conditions or not?

I would like to see how the 330 compares myself. Rumor has it will be about as quick as the current M3 which is comparable to the S4. I still think the S4 will be a better performer and you'll get more bang for the buck.

Premium, Cold, Bose audio
(August delivery...maybe...)

Default "nearly as quick" as old M3...plus that's without the extra weight of the 330xi's AWD...

...given the numbers I've seen, it won't hang with an S4.<p>Dan Calle
S4 Avant wanna-be

Don't kid yourself. The wail of that six can't even be compared to the turbocharged kick of the S4

I was referring to the rwd version that's replacing the 328ci. I do agree that the 330xi won't stick with the S4 at all...<p>'01 Santorin/Silver - 6spd
