How's the V8 hold up? I have seen the B5 s4's with the dual turbos and intercoolers/sh*t looks hott and they seem fast....How fast is this car off the line? NO turbo makes me saddy

Then again I guess thats one less thing to break!

You're also still under factory warrantee and eligible for an extended warranty which I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend (Mine is up to 115k). I just made a claim on my extended for $900 just for some leaking valve covers and a leak in the tranny.

I'd go with the 05.5 A4... Definitely not the auto S4.
Also, GTI's had real leather in 2006, so I'd prefer 06 to 07... and also, package 2 is a -must- for me, if I were GTI shopping. Climate control ALONE is worth the extra trouble/cost.

Good luck.

alright well I didn't read the whole AUTO S4, ut still I mean it'd be hard to pass on an S4, but I guess since I have a rule that if it aint lifted it's gonna be a stick, I guess get the A4 and keep a third pedal.
