Thinking about a new Audi S4...
« on: October 13, 2012, 08:37:54 pm »
I'm thinking its time to move on to something new and a little larger.  The Golf has served me so well that it's difficult to think of anything else.  So, here is my current line of thinking...and its settling on the current B8 Audi S4 Black Edition (saloon). 

I'm keen to hear your individual thoughts or experiences before taking the plunge.

Are there any other car alternatives that I should consider?

I'd consider the new Skoda Octavia VRS..

Checked the Skoda out, definitely lots of bang for your buck! I don't think my missus would let me get away with it though. She's a brand magnet!

Coming back to the Audi, what colour should I go for taking into account I'll be going for the black styling pack?

For me it has to be Ibis white, i know white is kind of the "in" colour at the moment but a mate has just got a black edition a5 and 19" black edition wheels really go well with it. My 2nd choice would be black as I don't think any other colour goes with the wheels.

Don't ask me for any advice on optional extras as I just priced one and it came out at £50k  :signLOL:

Funny you mention the price... my ideal spec was coming at a tad shy of £49K.  Colour wise I'm torn between, white, grey, and black.

White looks great and the black styling pack really stands out, but I think it may give a 'chavvy' image and impact resale values.
Grey, safe but boring.  Probably not to everyone's taste.
Black, looks dark and menacing, but the black styling pack gets 'lost' in all the black bodywork.

So, what colour should it be....?  :rolleye:

Yellow will not go with black and red sports seats.  Red again, may not appeal to the mass Audi clan.

Pretty much spot on there, but I would go white, Ibis white as I don;t really like the metalic Glacier white

Imola Yellow or Brilliant Red

If Mojo is worried about white with black styling pack being chavvy, yellow with the black is definitely off the list  :signLOL:

Either White or Grey.


I think Grey looks brilliant with the styling pack...

I think sprint blue would look good but it's not listed on the colour options on the colour configurator, tbh there's not many colours to choose from
