From Evo X to S4****pics inside!

What do you guys think? From this :



to this:



Definitely liking the build quality in the S4 as well as the usable space and MPG. Anyone have dealings with the newer Audi's and their reliability? The EVO is a great car just feeling like I am out growing it. And yes the evo X is the better driver's car but the S4 is more livable. Thanks!

Hey, if you can afford it, why not? You'll be helping the economy as long as you are financially capable.

As for me, I'm done buying luxury sporty cars (once is enough for me)... I'm sticking with my X for a very LONG time. I'm 35, I don't see my self "outgrowing" the evo till I'm ready to retire. =D

Nice, but personally I would have gone for a slightly used RS4 rather than a brand new S4. Love the white though, congrats!

At least you would fit in better in the Audi/VW crowd with stretched tires...

I think it's a natural progression from the Evo X. My only problem is it's size, it's a monster. I'm more of a fan of the short wheelbase toss able fun cars (like S3 or Golf-R). But apr has already done amazing things with that engine, it can make gobs of power just by tuning alone and a Evo can't touch a Audi when it comes to fit and finish, but that comes at a cost.

I went from Evo VIII to Audi A3 and I loved the long breaks between service and if you find a good dealer they will really take care of their customers. For instance I had a bad fuel sensor so I dropped off my car, got a loaner and was out of their in no time, didn't get any mouth for my car being chipped or modded. I would def. buy Audi/VW again anytime.

Hope this helps
Josh

+1 . Audi's are great cars, especially with tuning from APR - have to love 2Bennett Audimotive in Nor Cal. My experience with Audi service at the dealership has been a mixed bag. Sometimes, I would go into the Audi service department and would be treated with class, p/u my free Starbucks coffee and let the customer service person take care of the paperwork and car; I would just kick back and relax. Then there were the Audi customer service people that treated you like garbage if you did not "dress the part" with owning an Audi - once I added a "Dr." to my name, the whole tone of the service would change. The car is great, but would not go to the dealership for service - I would just ship the car to 2Bennett for pristine service.

From driving Audi's and driving the Evo, it feels to me as if the Evo is a much more proactive car and that the Audi is a much more reactive car with regards to AWD. As with everyone's different tastes, the Evo fits my driving tastes a bit more than the Audi.

I dunno. Your Evo looks badass. The S4 doesn't look so good in white.

I keep drooling over a used 2008 M3 but I just give myself a few months to mull it over and I just forget about it. It helps with impulse buys.....
