6 Speed S4 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 i think you know my vote... haha. I daily mine 139K runs excellent! Preventative maintenance is the key with s4s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh8sti Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 I have a feeling you'll quickly make up your own mind once you get an insurance quote on the Subaru. Thank the wreckless teenagers for that. your welcome!! i was 20...so not a teen, but still a dum dum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tshensley Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 audi definantly got the looks, but overall I would trust the subie more from the sounds of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATS Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 I understand everything you are saying and I talked to the shop who built the WRX. It was done right. I've owned WRX's since 2003, so I asked all the right questions. Now while I cannot speak for how it was driven since the tune, I would trust it would not have been that much of an issue, it has less than 4K miles on it since the swap. The tranny is far from stock, it's a PPG Helicut. From my knowledge of them, they'll hold 800 hp very, very well. I stay away from a 100% STI because I like to keep my insurance costs down. It's an additional $50 a month anywhere I have checked. More like 600whp but yes they are nasty as hell. A EJ255/7 block can easly hold 400awhp. It's not to to had to make it eather.

Doc1647545523 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 I know of a certain JDM GT-Four WRC which is for sale to the right two people. You are one of those two....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 That S4 sounds solid. It has more money dumped into than the WRX is worth. k16/k04 hybrids on a solid tune is capable of 500whp if not more. I only have plain jane k04's and I made 452hp/475tq S4 all the way. Not to mention the interior in the S4 is a million times nicer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyM3rC Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 (edited) Well, just ask yourself if you want a econobox or a luxury car... Subarus are always going to be souped-up shitboxes. The Audi is a classy, elegant car that is blisteringly fast with very little work, very bulletproof, and yes...requires maintenance sometimes. Drive both, then you'll have your answer. Also, which one of these cars can smoke a 280whp sti with 3 passengers, luggage, with the AC on, without breaking a sweat and still get decent gas mileage? Pwned. PS- how many times has Subaru won Le Mans? Really? Edited July 8, 2010 by RyM3rC more pwnage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FourString Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 I would not buy either of those. However, if you are down to those two and want nothing else...S4 or you are mental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLovin1647545523 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Buy the Audi those are some low numbers on the Subaru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs.cos Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Are the prices comparable? I think that's important information needed to make a decision. If so I definitely choose the WRX. I'd rather have the boosted econobox, than hvae to pay or do the repairs on an audi.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patterson Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Tough call, while repair bills can be huge on the Audi you need to look at what you are going for. What I would be looking at is whether I wanted a Boy Racer car or something far more polished. An interior comparison alone should be enough to make the case. Audi FTW. Suby bills can be big too. Don't fool yourself in that arena. Get crazy with the tune, or something of the like your gonna spend bucks to fix it when it breaks no matter what. That being said. I say Audi. VAG is good.

Rally Pat Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Like some others have said, Audi's will cost way more to repair, and that WRX has a lot more room to make more power if you wanted to make it do that. I honestly don't know which one I would choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tbutera2112 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 the audi seems like a MUCH nicer car. but the subaru seems like it would be the safer of the two to buy....the mileage on the audi is what scares me, and the fact that it had a stock motor with 50k swapped into it...cars with stock motors from another car swapped in, scare me personally. atleast with the subi you know the engine is fresh and you know whats done to it, and its upgraded shit instead of stock that has already showed to not hold up well (hence the engine swap - atleast thats how it looks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 My EGT sensor just went bad in the S4, which puts the car into limp mode. New ones are only sold in pairs because its an updated design and Audi recommends replacing both...$500. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. Not to mention its a pain in the balls to replace. I'd still rather have the S4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrs.cos Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Why (if you are looking at luxary) arent you looking at an LegacyGT? LGT not the insurance whore the WRX is.. hauls ass, and looks good doing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'swap' uses factory parts, and doesn't make any changes that compromise the durability of the motor. Yes, your rs4-turbo 2.7 will go 200k miles and still not be "tired." This isn't a boosted b18jdm spec v, Audi actually designs their turbo motors to survive under boost. That's why they keep winning races. True story.
