Regarding the noise of the turbos, I most certainly do not want a loud car
The whole reason for me looking at the Audi is that I don't stick out like a sore thumb, I just don't need the hassle that a scooby/evo brings. I had the exhaust replaced on my golf before Xmas and it sounds like a herd of bl**dy elephants, gets really tiring on long journies. I wouldn't mind if I had asked for a loud exhaust, but it was meant to be the normal one. I thought it was strange that this owner mentioned the noise of the turbos, because I basically couldn't hear them at all in the other one I test drove. Was nice and quiet (well as quiet as you'd expect from a 2.7 bi turbo) and I would think that's probably going to be the bench mark for all future viewings.
I'm inclined to go for an S4 that is standard and make my own decision about a remap. Coming from a 2.0 8V golf is will be be plenty to be getting on with and I can always get it remapped should I feel the need in the future. Just got to find one now that fits my criteria and isn't 200 miles away.
I'll be glad when August is over and people get back from their holidays to sell their S4's.
