[s-cars] Differences between S4 and S6

[Fred Munro]

Hi Dan;

Welcome to the wonderful world of s-cars! They are indeed a fine automobile
and you can't go wrong with either of them (except if you get a bad tranny
on that '93)!
The major caveat with these cars is the transmission pinion bearing failures
that were prevalent in the '92 cars. Some '93s also had the problem, which
was pretty well gone by '94. The bearing failed around 100,000 miles, so a
lot of the older cars have had the transmission replaced. The failure was
apparently caused by a problem with the factory tooling that resulted in the
wrong torque loading on the bearing. The Porsche 968 uses the same transaxle
and they are also suffering pinion bearing failures during these model
years.

Check out www.urs4.com under the FAQ section. There is a list of changes by
model year and a buyers guide. www.s-cars.org also has a buyers guide and
technical specs.

Happy hunting!

Fred Munro
'94 S4

Subject: [s-cars] Differences between S4 and S6


Please forgive me, but I am relatively new to S Cars and I am
considering buying either a 1993 S4 or 1995 S6.  I have read about both
cars on the Web and drove my first S Car yesterday a 1995 S6, and it was
GREAT!  However, I would like to drive a 1993 S4 before deciding which
direction to go.  What are the differences between the two, not only
mechanically but also body style and other aspects of the Cars.  I would
most appreciate some help.  Thank you.
