Default 2005 S4 6MT- Really that good?

Been asking around on B6 A4 board but figure might as well also look into the big boy. Need information on real world driving. Daily metro-city and winding country roads. Extreme weather driving too. Picks also appreciated.

What about against the M3 6-speed?

Default Re: 2005 S4 6MT- Really that good?

I drive in downtown San Francisco every day during the week and through rural pasture lands on the way to the coast on the weekends and (in the short 2 weeks I've had it) it sets a perfect balance. My brother lives down in Carlsbad and has a 04 M3 SMG which is great if you are going up the moutain to Palomar but not so much downtown with the potholes and city drivers. The third day after I picked it up we were rained on pretty hard and it was rock solid even when pushed.

Default It's better than sex...

Ok, not really. But damn is it fun. Sexy, yet subtle. Powerful, bold, and sleeper at the same time.

Test drive one lately? I can type all night, but a test drive is all you need my friend. And with a "fun" salesman.
