Re: Please tell me about 05-07 S4s
I am either going to lease a new A4 or get a used S4. Im a little worried about the upkeep and repair costs for a used S4. Im sure I will have extended warranty coverage for a year or two but eventually that will run out.
Please share your knowledge about these models so that I can make this diffuicult choice. Thank you.

my 2007 S4 4.2 delivers about 400km/60 Litres in mixed driving without going insane.
My worst 60 litre tank ever was 325 km (all city, lots of pedal stomping...the sound is excellent)
My best 60 litre tank was 540km, 100% highway non-stop going avg 120km/h
Upkeep is indeed expensive...i.e. if a coil pack goes, and you replace them all (they tend to all go around the same time), you're looking at $750-1000...for something simple. Eight cylinders adds up. You can't ever forget that the car was $70,000+tax new, and that parts are not made by Magna...they're imported....and expensive.
here's a sound sample of stock exhaust...

I picked up the Fast Intentions Full Back system. Res X pipe. I didn't want it to be crazy loud. I did want to hear the symphonic exhaust note though
. It sounds awsome and I am very happy with Danny at fast intentions.

[QUOTE=Tekkie;104798]it's a b6. I have not gotten an exhaust yet, I have been looking around to figure out which one to get...[/QUOT
Go with the Fast Intentions. They have the best sounding exhaust in my opinion. If you are going to do it wait and save up for the full system though. Lots of people I have talked to just got the non res cat back and are thinking about getting downpipes after. The system is so loud with the non res and DP's. Or if you are planning to add DP's later than you should get a resonated cat back to start.
