Very nice!! I too am going to miss driving stick so much when I sell the weekend car & keep the IS350 as my only car. Before purchasing my IS350 last year, I was heavily cross shopping the V8 S4, they sound incredible with a aftermarket exhaust on *drools*, as well as a E39 M5, E55 AMG, & a E46 M3, but I played it safe & went with the most reliable option.

Please post a review on your IS350 vs the S4 when you get a chance, & let us know how much MPG you get in that thing

The S4 sounds mean and growls with factory exhaust.


Review:
The S4 is really comfortable sports sedan. The S4 is heavy, but it is like driving any german car, its a driver type of vehicle. Since there is no electronic steering you really feel like your driving this vehicle, i notced especially the faster you go the tighter the steering gets. Around corners the S4 feels more comfortable even though my IS was on coilovers. The Lexus is a very good motor and it feels just as fast as the S4 or a bit slower. The interior option features the IS wins. They are both 2006, the audi has no DVD/CD Mp3 options, it has 2 SD slots for mp3 use. But as far as interior light ascents the Audi wins of course, no rear view camera. The space and folding seats is so nice on the S4. Also no rattle inside the car, love the german sound deadening versus the jap cars. BUt love how stylish my is350 was, it was definately a head turner.

My results
S4 MPG: 14/15 city 18/19 Highway
IS350 MPG: 13/14city 24/25 Highway

I gave up the purchase of a mint black on black 2006 S4 fully loaded cause the thought of a new car was much better. But now wish I woulda bought the Audi.

Nice pickup. The S4 will probably get you noticeably worse gas mileage, but eh what the hell you only live once.

Enjoy.

Well done. I miss my B6. It had it's own attributes, as does the IS. Both are great cars. Enjoy.
