After much consideration, I felt the S4 was going to delivery the levels of performance, security and refinement I would want in my next vehicle.
A friend asked me how I felt.. if I was excited, filled with anticipation, etc... it hasn't really sunk in yet.. I'm looking forward to getting to understand the car, and explore it's potential. You'll be hearing more from me in the coming weeks, as I acquire a little more experience behind the wheel and get familiar with it's personality.

I've found out my car has an expensive personality :) I also am a recent owner (november of 2002) of a 1993 S4, welcome to the club

Yeah, I hear they aren't exactly inexpensive to maintain...but I'm prepared for the worst. If I suffer a catastrophic failure, it'll be my excuse to purchase better components.

i've had a '95 s6 for a little better than a year. the car was purchased with 35k on the clock. i've put 11k on the car and have incurred no expenses other than scheluled maintenance. the car is bone stock.

Thanks.
For a second, I had no idea what you were trying to say... until I summoned the linguistic dexterity [ha!] to decipher your rather simple message. Thanks!

in my opinion it is more expensive to keep up an a4 or a6 than our cars.Our cars just seem to have less problems.
