Depends what sort of car you're after, really. Are you looking to get the dog to where you walk it *really really fasT* or are you after blending in either every single other bloody S3 out there?

S3
3 door hatch.
Only one turbo to play with or go wrong
210 or 25bhp in stock trim

S4 Avant
5 door estate.
Twice as many turbos to play with (or go wrong)
265bhp in stock trim

2 totally different animals.

I went through this... and the S4 is heavier on fuel, but has way more potential.

Ideally what you want is a facelift S4 with K04's already fitted. There you have a 400+HP sleeper. The S3 takes big money if you want more than 260ish.

Unless your after a hatch back its got to be an S4 really. S3's are pretty tasty though.
