Manual

To the OP, this car is a manual transmission with an automatic clutch. This is not a normal slushbox automatic.

This means that you have to drive it like a manual. If you were in a manual and...

Nice

I have it on my '12 with 38,000 mi. It is nice. I do use it. Is it a must have, not really. If you are reaching to afford the S4, then it is not really worth it. If you are are going to be...

Driving

I am one of those always stick guys that went DSG, so I can't add from your perspective. But in general, your handle is "LoveDCTraffic". From this, I will assume you spend some of your time on the...

Clarify more

Like was said, it uses the ABS sensors to sense wheel spin speed, rather than actual pressure. What matters is change in rotational speed. So for instance, if you get the car back from the tire...

Up to you

Hey it is up to you, but my 2 cents is that if you are asking these kind of questions, then you are makng a mistake. Spend 32K on buyinga wrecked S4, another 15k repairing it and you you have...

Well

How quickly did you check the carfax.

We bought a used BMW 528 in 2003 and the carfax was clean. This puchase was from a place called "Car Sense" that was a big place, dealt only in low milage,...

Very nice. I like that you got it with the two tone white/black interior, it has a very cool theme.

I run 18"

I run 18" replica wheels with my snow tires in NH. I am not sure, but would wonder if 17" would clear the brakes.

Well I too have found that it takes a little time to understand the DSG.

Still don't quite understand how you seem to want 5500 RPM to start a pass, I find the powerband is excellent at 3000...

Well

That is another problem. I get channels that flip in and out of HD constantly and the tone and volume changes, so it is really annoying.

I have just turned HD off. However, if you set a...

SD Card

Personally, I have an SD card that I use.

I got a 32 GB card and loaded it up and found that there is a 4000 song limit on each SD card. After this, weird random messages about folders not...

Looks like a few of you have this. I just wanted to add that in my case, I have not noticed any rattles in my 2012 in over 5K miles.

Huh.... I have read about many people puting in other S-knobs that are the front button ball shifter and they have to heat and bend a plastic rod without melting it.

LIke

I like most of it, but it is all pretty minor cosmetics.

I wouldn't

I have always heard you should have a matched set of tires on quattro at all times.

I would look at the blizzak as the price of a tow home and go get a new pilot A/S ASAP.

And

It might have something to do with trying to shift down to 2nd at highway speeds. Even on a track I don't see the reason to downshift into a lower gear and grabbing 5000 RPM and then accelerating...
