Comparo

[Vincent Gelinas]

Hi, all!

It's been a while since I last wrote asking a question; I figured I was
overdue to bug everyone.

My 2012 Chevy Sonic by the name of Pepper was totalled on Christmas day by
the only large rock to stick out of the ditch on my dirt road. Blame the
ice (I almost had her out of the skid, too!).

Since I miss my Audis, I'm going to get something from Chris down at
Force5. I have two options since I'm not messing with another Tiptronic
after my A8q.

Choice one: 2002 Allroad, 6M 2.7tt. Choice two: 2004 S4, 6M 4.2 40v.

I'm leaning toward the S4 even though I may lose some fuel economy and
practicality simply because I've heard nightmare stories about the biturbo
and the air suspension. The 40v, I hear, is a pretty robust and beastly
engine.

Any BTDT? Stories going either way would be much appreciated.

TIA,

Vincent
