A 4.2 Audi cheaper to insure then a gti? Really? Why not go ed 30 route and tune that or focus rs route and tune that? 305bhp starting platform if your after big power?

dead serious, apparently its because the gti attracts a boy racer base where as audi buyers are less this way inclined. man from the insurance companies words not mine!

Is this the engine?:



^ 2010 S4 V6 with small supercharger. Also had Sports Differential option. I enjoyed it but found it quite heavy on fuel though:



I've written a Review somewhere.

Front wheel drive has its limits.

I've got the S4 4.2 V8. I like it but definitely prefer my Eddie. If u live anywhere near Manchester/Warrington then ur more than welcome to come and have a look around it or I'll take u out in it so u can get the feel of what they are like. Oh and it's the convertible so maybe different from a saloon but I don't think it'd be a massive difference

Echoing the above:

Prefacelift S5 coupes were V8s

All S5 Sportbacks/Cabrios and thr facelift coupe and all B8 S4s are supercharged V6s (tho for some reason they have V6T on their wings :stupid:)

I read somewhere that a Stage 1 "V6T" could outhandle the RS5 due to the higher weight and still hold it's own in a straight line.

Personally I'd miss the V8 and have any of the V6T models

thanks loads for the offer but I'm in cornwall lol  :sad1: however my gf does come from manchester and we visit a few times a year so ill deffo hit you up if we do in the next month or so! so far I'm leaning towards the S4 V6 gone right of the S5 now haha I'm not sure Robin i haven't seen the underside of the bonnet yet but ill be having at one hopefully this tuesday at the dealers to have a feel round.
so does anyone have any stats on tuning the S4? I'm pleased that a stage one seems so effective and its unlikely ill go much further than that because i don't want to start bringing the insurance back up again :/

The Audi a5 range... Heavy, and dead to drive. I can guarantee that an S5 will be less fun that a stage 1/2 ed30. (apart from the noise)

....Audi's 'Sports Differential' is a factory option added to some of their high end quattro cars.
