i like the s4. however, if you plan on having people sit in the back all the time, its cramped. If you want something bigger and and the same 2.7biturbo motor go with the a6 or audi allroad. here’s one for 20k [http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/01-2001-LOADED-HEATED-LEATHER-BOSE-XENON-AIR-SUSPENSION\_W0QQitemZ4568521965QQcategoryZ80731QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem](http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/01-2001-LOADED-HEATED-LEATHER-BOSE-XENON-AIR-SUSPENSION_W0QQitemZ4568521965QQcategoryZ80731QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) ---

i think 2.7t in the s4 problems is mainly caused by cooling issues. that engine bay is just too small for that big ass twin turbo engine. ---

s4’s have cheap parts but are a bitch to work on for some of the easy stuff… my boss had the volvo s80 twin-t 6… it was pimp… i loved that car… .then again he spent like 450 on an ABS module and like 900 for a ecm… so remember it’s a volvo with volvo priced parts. a quattro 1.8t audi would be cheapest and still ok inside… i’d consider a saab 9-3 2.0t! as well… but for big baller luxury stuff, i’d go wth an audi probably ---

i’d venture to say the 1.8t aftermarket is greater than the 2.7… no doubt. ---
