Man, if you want something else that will blow your mind, test a 1981 Honda Civic 1300FE.

AMAZING 1.3L POWER

I was looking at the prices and for a used one i'd be looking at 23K the car has like 8K miles on it.
2006 Mazda MAZDASPEED6. I'd be paying prolly less than half that I'd most likely come to the table with 15K cash So i am sure I can get them to lean.




$23,980


Mileage 8,985

*********************
Cheapest used S4
2004 Audi S4 4.2 Quattro
$24,485


43,335 Miles

I don't know, I wouldn't buy it, performance doesn't look that promising and judging by the Ford I had, it shouldn't last past 125k miles...

More like, you don't know so you don't have any sort of viable opinion. Go and drive the goddamn car before you can even think about it.

i thought i readthey discontinue it for 09. what's up with that? must be everyone going for the speed3. it is surprising that itdoesn't getpraisefrom the turbo junkies around here; it hasaround 270hp stock so a chip must make nice improvements. also, it's cheaper newthan a used b7 and most b6 s4, it has all wheel drive (don't really know what mazdasreliability is on this), theleather looks asgoodif not better than that leatherette crap you can get in a bmw. the short comings i see are that the colors to chose from are limited (so what), the gauges look cheap or just outdatedwith their red glow and the vents look like they will break if adjusted.for the money, this is a great car!

Seriously, don't listen to the posers who think that just because they read car magazines and watch VODcars makes them experts, go out and drive it. Hell, the regular 6 is a nice car, and the wagons drift really nicely

Yeah, I know CLX. I love VW/AUDI great cars but so many other cars are faster and more reliable. Don't get me wrong my car is great owned it since May19th 06
(NOT ONE SINGLE ISSUE OTHER THAN "ABS SPEED SENSOR"-knocks on wood)


I am def ready for a change...If that doesn't happen than I am doing interior because it is starting to show wear. The Mazda that is for sale is like 10 min away from me used car lot. What do I have to do to take it for a test-drive? I would imagine they are going to be kind snotty and wont let me. It's in a subburb Evanston


S4 looks so sweet though has Recaro seats
