No it just proves that other than the visual and engine diff. there are very few differences between the cars

 

B6

 

 

Well I appreciate it -- it seems the differences are indeed rather small, most notable being the dual-zone climate control which I don't mind lacking. The Nogaro Blue Pearl B5 S4 is just amazing to me and I believe that is where my heart is. I do love how the B6 looks but the 2.7 Bi-Turbo has my attention more than anything, I just wanted to be certian I wouldnt miss anything by getting a B5 instead of a B6.

I really want a Nogaro Blue S4 but depending upon the condition of the cars I look at I may flex on that preference :/ I think it's just time I get something a little more 'grown up' than my RX-7 presently is.

 

seeing that you have a rx-7 you will be VERY pleased with getting the b5 s4! And on top of that you are looking at the best color as well. There is no better blue color out there in my opinnion, and is very rare. If you chip the s4 you automatically have more than 300hp which im sure will put a smile on your face. I would say there is alittle more maintanence rquired but compared to a rx-7 it is nothing! Good luck man and i know you will be happy buyin that car. I would have had one a long time ago if i could afford it. But now you can get them for pretty cheap.

 

You really can't go wrong with a B5 S4! but if you are looking for a newer car, and probably new and better options, then go with the B6.....
-on a side note, I think we all know that the B5 is the best A4 ever made..

 

LOL, to be honest the RX-7 has been very good to me. They aren't as bad as most people make them out to be but they definately aren't for the faint of heart... comparable to the S4 in complexity of the engine and induction system. The fact that I do all my own labor has made the RX-7 a very affordable car (as will the S4) but they are picky, do not skimp on maintenance, always allow warm up and cool down and you can be driving it as if you are at Sebring Raceway anytime in between with no worries.

The RX-7 is great but it is older and while the styling doesn't really reveal it's age (Nor does the condition at only 68k miles) I just feel like I should consider something more adult at this time that offers fun in a more sensible package. I don't often have passengers so owning 2-seater cars never bothered me but now I'll have the option if needed. There is just a bit of charm to be held inside such a casual feeling car that with the right modifications can out perform many purist sports cars.

The S4 will be something nice I can drive whenever, especially on weekends or in the evenings and I can keep my 240sx as a daily drive for work as well as the occasional track session that it's suspension is already tuned for. Having the 240 will allow me to take the S4 down whenever for mods or maintenance and not worry about and the S4 I'd feel more comfortable going out in compared to the RX-7 that I was always paranoid someone would hit, etc. It is such a small and dark car compared to the S4 that I have been often left in scary situations due to people not seeing me.

 

you will not be dissapointed with the B5 S4!

 

does it really matter if you get a b5 or b6? it only mattersthat you get a 1.8t and a manual!

 

My goal is the 2.7t from an S4 (B5)... which is why I questioned it as the B6 1.8t was the runner up in my goals.
