New S4 for me ?????

Post by Chins » Sun May 18, 2003 10:02 pm

Ok so I might have to get one. Its been growing on me, and Top Gear tonight might just of swayed the balance.

So saloon or Avant ?
What colour - I liked the red [img]images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] was it nice or just me ?
What options - Leather & Symphony

Cant decide on Sat Nav Radio or not, and Bose. The brochure shows the Symphony as having a sub and 10 speakers, 150 watts. Will the extra 60 watts really make a difference ?

Other essentials ??

well you may as well get one - you've had everything else!

I reckon the estate looks better - also in Red..
M3 CSL - Silver Grey, a few options.

Not if you're deaf [img]images/graemlins/roflmao.gif[/img]

Otherwise I'd go for the Avant from a practicality point of view and because I think they will hold their value better.

Colour is always a matter of taste so no comment although did I mention I like Silver [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Leather a must of course.

Otherwise go for it - I'm assuming you'd say bye bye [img]images/graemlins/bigwave.gif[/img] to the R32?

Working in Telecoms it is at the moment.

As they say, been there seen it done it [img]images/graemlins/jump3.gif[/img]

I might have a plan coming together. My Z4 turns up in a month. Order the S4 now. Run the Z4 for 8 weeks and then sell at minimum loss [img]images/graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

The red is still attractive, although its not Missano. The S4 has brilliant red (different to the crap Absolute) Just wonder if it will be viewed well come resale. Audi doesnt really offer a huge number of colours for the S4 yet.

Actually I'm sure you'll make a profit on a Z4!

Hi Jonathan

I thought I'd better try the S4 so am off to do that later this week.

Still love the M3 but will only buy one if I can find the exact spec and deal I want....like you I'm a little precise in what I want [img]images/graemlins/033102bigblink_1_prv.gif[/img]

You driven the S4 yet?

Been looking at the colours/specs and it's a pretty good value car unless you go tonto with the options. IF ( [img]images/graemlins/spineyes.gif[/img]) I went for one I'd probably spec an Avant to £40k list tops.

Will wait and see now... [img]images/graemlins/062802beat_prv.gif[/img]

If you decide to go for the avant, Bose will only give you 160W according to the book. I guess there's less space for the extra amps/subs.
Also, I guess you'd be able to order a special colour as they don't seem to have a problem doing this before on the S3/4/RS4's?
IMHO, Misano would look the nuts [img]images/graemlins/1syellow1.gif[/img]

Cheers

Ben
