well im done with school in a few weeks and time to get a job, so that means its possibly time to find a new daily driver…
i want something nice, and a little quick i suppose.
I’m a HUGE Acura fan (03 CL type s, 04 TL, TSX) which is the route i wanted to go.
but the S4 has caught my eye and i like them more and more everytime i see them.
what are the positives and negatives with the S4???
i know AWD and twin turbo is a good thing… but what else?
well… if youre looking to buy new, the S4’s are now 340hp V8s.
But I heard somewhere that the TT V6 S4s aren’t the most reliable DD’s
My neighbor has a 2003 Audi RS6 (TT V8), and he loves it. But would never use it as his daily driver
another alternative you might want to check out.
Volvo S60-R. AWD, 2.5L inline-5cyl Turbocharged. 300hp.
yeah i cant afford a new S4, prob an 00-01
got any pics of that Volvo?
don’t get the s4 with the v8… get the one with the twin turbo’d 6… it’s reliable in the respect that there aren’t commonly known issues with the car… i know people that daily drive them all the time as well as track them… with a chip and a set of downpipes you’d have a hell of a fun daily driver…
maintenance isn’t going to be outrageous… but you’re going to have to run 93 octane and use fully synth oil and shit… buy mann filters … can’t cheap out on it and expect to not have problems… vw / audi are known to have oil issues with dino (junk) oil…
but i love the s4… really nice layout, and pimp inside… very confortable…
not a huge fan of the acura…
yeah i really love the look of the Silver or Pearl white S4 that is lowered… i put medium gas in the monte carlo, so the premium isnt a porblem… arent the S4’s about 300hp stock with the TT setup???
I just liked the Acura’s for the Honda reliability and luxury for dollar features…
i think they are rated at 260 wheel hp??? not 100%
no he doesn’t.
actually, yes he does
i thought he was the guy with the r32? no?
this guy is a lot older… I’d say in his 50’s.
not the same guy with a red r32
audi rs6 = $$ but also = sick
that car is awesome… i’d take one!!!
there is a metalic grey RS6 that i see in oakland quite often. It just impresses me that someone would have that as a daily driver. Probably a cardiovasculaar surgeon at upmc.
my neighbors is a steel grey heh
and ya Fshowcars… he paid about $85,000 for it new
i think audi has 200 RS6s for the US. Its pretty rare, i almost nut my pants evertime i see that car on the road.
I think youre pretty much right, I know for a fact there arent many running around, but he did say Pittsburgh had an unsually high amount of them
how much are you looking to spend chad??? i say buy your LS1 SS, sell the stang, and get a different beater too. your DD isn’t supposed to be faster than your toy car. :op:
prob around 15-20k
hmm, well i’d definitely say new cars are out… and probably anything within the past 1-2 years.
