....  :laugh: The Mk5 Golf chassis immediately comes to mind.

I think the downside of quattro is that it can feel a bit dull and the Sports Differential did seem to liven up the feedback when driving harder. However, the Audi S-series market is more pedestrian consumer. It's the RS owners who are generally usually more enthusiastic but I guess that's why the Sports Differential is an option rather than standard on the S4, plus it's another opportunity for Audi to milk more money.

quattro downside is feedback is subdued due to additional weight and the way it operates, on the up sides you get all the grip in the world!

for both grip and driving pleasure RWD is the best compromise in my opinion, grip is better then FWD obviously and driving not so dead as AWD!

If I was to choose I would go for S4 as S5 is big and lumpy! It's one of worst performance/looks Audi products recently in my view!

they respond similarly to turbo cars when it comes to remapping i believe.

just putting this out there: an A4/A5 2.0T quattro with the new engine (211bhp) remaps at Stage 1 to 305bhp (about 40bhp short of the S4, but it weighs less.)

Yeh but you can just as easily remap the S4 to around 420hp and even more with pulleys, intake, exhaust etc.

Stop the press. Forget the cars. You have a girlfriend that you only visit a few times per year?

....Superb cars but you'd only get about 12 mpg when enjoying yourself and there's no point having such a car unless you enjoy yourself in it.

id love to get an RS4 and that one is superb but the insurance although is fine with an S4 or 5 still doesn't like the idea of an RS model and wanted 3k plus  :surprised:

i don't have a tuned ed30 just a standard gti, i wish i had got an ed30 but when i first got the gti i didnt know much about them and didn't know they had a different engine set up etc just thought they were limited with better aesthetic specs. don't really wanna sell the gti to get an ed30 either
