ok this is kind of related to post https://honda-tech.com/zero...age=1

I had to sell the R because of the insurance spike it had this year. i replaced it with a 2004 ex v6 6 speed with navi accord. Well after driving it for a while i REALLY miss the R. i knew i would but did not think this much. Getting the R back is out of the question or another one as well.

Well the accord is going back because of servere water mark etching in the paint. Where pushing them to just refund that loan if where luckey. But they will prolbey if anything switch out the car for a 2005. anyways heres my decsison

My dad owns a 2001.5 audi S4 in pear essence white. with 22k miles on it. Same miles as my R kinda weird. It used to be mine when i tried out real estate but that did not work out and my dad liked the car so i gave it to him. But hes SICK of shifting the 6spd in daily traffic plus he likes that the accord is a bigger car.

So with the option of switching the car to the 05 he could get a 4 door auto with navi and i could get his s4 insurance is strangley for me close to the same as the accord.

WHAT SHOULD I DO? i would love to get the awe GAIC chip in it like i wanted to when i had it. 68 hp and 70 tq from a chip is nice. 1200 to get a new ecu with it installed that way you can swap the ecus for any reason you might have.

the other car im thinking about thats a bit out of reach is the new 330ci with the m3 suspension interior and front bumber and wheels. pretty much a m3 - the 102 extra HP out o the motor.

Well let me know what you guys think.

 

My mom just got a 2000 S4, 6 speed. I love the car. Go out and get one. The car is so much fun.

LMAO... yeah. What's up with that?

 

I have an R and i was gonna get rid of that for an s4 just couldn't find one in a good price range for me....so i'd say do the s4.....i mean how can you go wrong with awd & turbo?

 

I'd go with the S4 for sure

 

I would get a 330i performance package than a 4 year old Audi S4.

For some reason, Audi doesn't age as nicely as a BMW (in terms of parts getting going out quicker & definitely resale value), and the shifter & suspension really blows. Sure, power is nice, but as Pirelli commercial goes, "Power is nothing w/o control."

People say a 330iP is slow, but come on... it's not like we all drive an Elise and downgrading in speed. 330i is plenty fast, luxurious and a great car.

330i performance package is also the very last year of E46 mold before a newer (fugly, jmo) model rolls out next year. They have address all electrical & mechanical issues. I know I would rather save up for a 330iP that will last for 10 years and hold up great resale value than buy a S4. But, that's just me. (If it were RS4, that's another story... but, we never got those in the States.)
