Ok

My ex had a 2010 Prestige DSG S4. I loved that car. With the sport diff the car could get pretty tail happy and safely too. Though I will say it's no M3, unfortunately, as I really wanted to stay in the Audi family. The S4 isn't a bad choice, it's fast very capable around turns and very understated (could be a pro or a con). The car with a tune will BLOW our cars out of the water, and thats just a tune. I've ran her a few times and the DSG just doesn't shift as fast as our DCT's and I would definitely get the car in manual as one of those gave me some trouble until about 70. If you do get the S4 realize that the car isn't in our league in terms of price, but it's got TONS of potential without necessarily breaking bank. If I were you I wouldn't go down to an S4, but thats cause I just got my car. I really don't know where my mind would be had I had my car for over 2 years. Good luck with your decision...you really aren't going wrong either way.
