Thinking of getting a 2013 S4

I know asking this question in a Mercedes thread is sort of like going to a football game and asking people about hockey, but I'm just curious if there are any other Audi enthusiasts out there?

I'm looking for a car that has the luxurious feel, but I can still some aftermarket work to. I honestly love my C class, but the lack of aftermarket support is killing me. I know most people are going to say "Get a C63," but I'm not really a big fan of them.

Let me hear your thoughts.

S4 is way better than c350 in terms of sporty-ness. That supercharged v6 mated with s-tronic transmission is a jewel and has tons of aftermarket mods. Optional LSD with three differential just sounds pure awesome. Disadvantage is that it's nose heavy and overpriced.

i'd go the S5 then but i doubt you'll find more aftermarket stuff then for the C class. what could you possibly want for the C class that doesn't exist?

The S4 is a very nice car but I wish they would have stuck with that fuel guzzling V8 if nothing else but for the sound...if for no other reason, that is why I would go with the more expensive, but more "self expressive" C63.

If you want luxory there is no competition than to go with a benz. Good balance between luxory and sport. I didn't care for the 335i or s4 which both were also more expensive. The bmw felt like a crackerjack box made of plastic om the inside.

Also there are PLENTY of aftermarket items for the w204. Probably the most of any Benz model would be my guess

I wouldn't mind a wider range of exhaust options (catbacks and headers/downpipes) and lower offset wheels.

I sound like I should be in an E90, but the W204 looks so much better.

I say go for the S4. They are beautiful.

APR alone makes more performance mod than all w204 c350 mods combined. Not to mention there is also stasis and other reputable tunning company delicate to Audi. My local audi dealership offeres stasis tune right out of the box with 400 bhp...lol
