Hi, Guest
which one?
you mean the tranny in the new S4, TT or the V6 TT?
the S4 and TT have the same old shitty tiptronic as was released 5+ years ago.
the V6 TT has the new new tiptronic(forget what it's called) and was awful to drive. the shifts were not crisp although decently quick, downshifting was a waste of time and effort and the overall feel of the car was once again nothing compaired to the same car in manual.
the V6 TT shifting system while an improvement over the standard tiptronic still didn't win me over and my dad, who is not much of a "driver", even noted he thought the V6 TT was more fun in full Auto that in tiptronic.
you don't have to agree with me.
i'm just giving you my opinion on how i thought the cars stacked up.
out of the entire Audi line-up, the new V8 S4 with the 6-speed is an absolute amazing car!
optioned out for $15-20,000cnd less than the M3 in comparable trim, i'd take the S4 over the M3 even if it was $20,000cnd more! power in the new S4 is seamless and right from idle-on. the M3 while blazing quick is only fun to drive in the top half of the power band. i dunno about you but needing to rev a car to redline to make it fun is not a car i would buy... probably why i didn't get a SiR or ITR when i bought my focus!
on a side note:
if one were to buy a new S4, a nice set of coilovers, intake, race headers, high flow cats and a nice free flowing exhaust would be awsome! they sound just amazing stock, free up that beautiful V8 and you would have a car to cream your pants over! :blink:
