[s-cars] How failtastic is the B7 S4 automatic? Anyone have a line on a manual avant?

[Theodore Chen]

i had a B7 A4 2.0T with tiptronic for a week, and thought the transmission was much improved over the B5's.  it shifted much faster and more positively.

Have you tried Riverside Audi? They're the biggest CPO dealer.

No issues with the 6-speed auto that I've heard of, but the drive is nothing
like the manual. Response in tiptronic mode is a joke- slow. No different
than your folks' A6 in that regard.
