S3.
An original S4 is not reliable at all

not with 9k, lol.
if you're near york tomorrow come find me and my bro as i have an s4 and he has an s3 and we'll take you out in both and make your mind up.
s3 is more aggressive, s4 is smoother, more refined but just as quick. both are mapped.

Doh! fair point
Maybe the gentleman should qualify his statement a bit better then - I'll suggest the following for starters........ The S4 is not intended to be as reliable as the good factory intended should you wish to remap it to 320BHP and rag it around Castle Coombe all day at 6500 RPM
Otherwise a simple remap and normal to spirited road driving should see the S4 as reliable as any other if cared for properly - and it is a proper quattro
