No offense, but if the difference in gas costs is what made you chose an A4 over an S4, you don’t have any business buying a luxury car. People that say that always amaze me. It is less than a thousand dollars / year. In reality driving under 20k miles per year like she does it is probably more like 750 or 500.

If that makes or breaks your finances, you really shouldn’t be driving modified luxury cars.

it wasn’t JUST the gas cost in MPG, it was also the higher cost of entry into the car and how much she would NEVER use the S4’s power or suspension in any meaningful way…

she wont ever auto x it or anything like that… it is strictly a commuter car, so in that regard, a 2.0T was a good fit for her

i tried to get her into an S4… but i couldn’t find a good example that she liked for under 28-30k…(needed Nav/heated seats/bluetooth, and needed to be manual and have black leather interior) (she is picky about options/colors) and she didnt want to pay that much just for extra HP she wouldn’t use

it was also nice cuz we paid ~ 9k under what we had budgeted for this purchase… sooo it looks like im getting a new tv for the bedroom!

Nice car, but people really need to stop using the word “wifey”.

[POOPRA]

saw it yesterday, looked nicer in person

[psphinx81]

saw it yesterday as well on transit, looks pretty BA going down the road

not a bad pickup, as walker said, not my taste in mods, but for the $$ you got the stock parts so it’s not like it’s not repairable.

im trying to pull off the rear spoiler, as there are some cracks in the fiberglass, but obviously there are holes in the trunk, so i need to find something else to put on it

I prefer “broad.”

the tail light change made all the difference in the world. it looks great. i don’t hate the hood. i just think i would have wanted all CF or all stock color. if you have a wife that’s happy with something like that, then you’re doing alright. :tup:

[layzie]

tails, window spoiler and hood need to go ASAP other then that its nice
