So.
There's a fair bunch of us that are pretty passionate about our cars and the latest offerings from Audi Sport. Comparing them to Quattro GmbH seems to be a pretty lively topic recently.
I think it's fair to say that the B9 has split the crowd! But why? I mean, it's went back to its roots essentially, has it not? I'm not really a turbo 6 fan in all honestly but I love how the B5 has aged. It still looks great. The B7 was just so compact and pumped up and, along with the manual, it's easy to see why the purists love it still.
I'm a B8.5 fan. I've loved it ever since I seen it in Top Gear magazine in 2012. They drove from one end of the UK to the other covering the very best roads and it just looked so pumped up and capable. They perfected that 4.2 with the S-Tronic. So, now that it's at a price I can really justify paying, I've set the wheels in motion and cannot wait til my spec is found! I'm paying £578 for my B9 S4 and just doesn't make me feel excited like the RS4 does.
So, why is the crowd so split on the B9? Is it simply NA V8 vs Turbo 6? Or is it more? Think this could be a good topic because it seems to overshadow plenty of other threads haha. They get hijacked.
I think the B9 looks great. Honestly. Lighter, more agile and angular. Flared arches still in tact. But it's just that hissy turbo and weak exhaust for me. Not once have I laughed like a schoolboy watching a review. But the B8 does it every single time. Even 6 years later...So why do the guys buying this new one love it so much? Keen to know.
Orrrrr, is it simply not worth the extra over the very capable S4 Avant?
