Finally back to summer mode! It's been a long couple months where I could not detail the car and my fiance has been daily-ing this pig. So needless to say with spring here and the hose finally thawed out, it was time to put the summer wheels back on and give her a well needed detail.

after a fair amount of consideration, i think i've decided what car i'm going to get into next! This wont happen till after I get a house hopefully in the next 6 months or so.
Was really thinking of doing another MK7, and going IS38. But, having one of those already, and now a MK6, I just can't deal with the ride quality. Its not horrible, but the roads are just so bad, i need something a little more comfy. And I might as well switch it up a little and get something different.
But, I hate slow ass comfy luxury cars compared to sporty small tuner cars.
Really wanted an S3, (or RS3 if i was rich!!) but they don't come in manual. Love the look of them though, REALLY need a manual again.
Finally have came across and settled into a 2011-2015 S4. It seemingly checks all of my boxes:
* SUPERCHARGED! I love superchargers. Mostly for the WHIIIIIINE. Not gonna complain about turbo spool, and i know in general turbos make more high end power and are more efficient, but I miss my supercharged cobalt badly. The sound is so intoxicating. lol
* Easy to get low 400WHP, close to 400WTQ.
* Its heavy, but not TOO heavy. still drives sporty/light on it's feet
* Great ride quality
* AWD, torque vectoring, not a FWD bias like the Golf R
* Super nice inside, not quite a luxury car, love the seats
* Comes in manual, albeit hard to find.
* They go for 18-30K; try to find one in the low 20's eventually.
Only thing i don't really love about the S4 is how it looks. It's proportionally pretty good looking, has a nice low stance, so I think it would just come down to deleting all the chrome, finding some nice wheels, doing a few details, maybe an RS4 bumper if i wanna get crazy.

A manual b8.5 S4 in a 3.0T is definitely my next car after I'm done modding my GTI and pay for a wedding. Either that or I'll wait to see if I can get my hands on a 4.2L B8 that has APR's supercharger kit on it. I had the chance to buy NGP's shop car that had that kit installed years ago and I kick myself every day for not buying it.
It is pretty blah looking stock but nicer wheels and lowering springs go a loooong way.

Yes! Not my favorite looking after being into tuners for so long but I agree. Rear Lip spoiler, wheels, black out trim different grille... Pretty much good to go. Lol

Well there's pretty much all my gofast parts and some visual stuff left but I got rid of almost all suspension and non-essentials a while back. Not sure what I will do if/when I move on from this car as far as a further part out.

Looks like an interesting prospect! What do you think about the A4 wagon? I love how those look. More special/rare than the sedan and more practical too
Not sure if they sold an S4 wagon though.

I would indeed prefer the wagon but far as I can tell, no s4 exists in the states, and I'm really not into the a-models.

Replaced my retrofits with some UU's. Not the best pics but I don't really get to drive this thing anymore these days.
