Default Test drove new B6 S4 first inpressions...

Let's just say that I love my car. Mine is just as fast if not faster. The new S4 just does not pull the same. The V8 does have a nice burble to it. The only thing I liked about the interior was the new seats, they wrap around you. The rest of the interior seemed kind of cheap too much plastic. My car handles better too. I have a KW V3 setup on my car though with 18 inch wheels. IMHO my S4 with my mods is a better car. I would rather spend $10000 on Full stage 3 before I would spend $52000 on a new S4.

I liked the seats better, especially the rear seats but otherwise I'll stick with my B5 =)

Default I have a B6 S4, and am trading it in tomorrow for a B5 S4

I had an 01.5' prior to the 04' and the 01' IMHO was just as good with just a few mods. With the $10k I will be getting back from the deal, $6k will go to mods and wheels (the new Sportec Mono 18'). The rest will go towards new kitchen cabinets. The interior is nicer on the B6 though, and the seats are very nice!!!

Default I agree. The clutch does not feel the same mine feels stronger when I pushed the clutch

in for the first time it was like what the F*#K is it in? The car did shift nice and smooth and could put you back in the seat. Seems like a shorter throw when shifting gears.
