    Anyone drive-tested and compared the M3 Coupe and the new S4?

    What are your impressions and comments?

    I read the new S4 is by far more clumsy and does not feel so sporty. Is that
    what Audi fans have been waiting so long to hear?

    Thanks,


    JP Roberts

    I expect Audi fans are already feeling pretty damned pleased by the trade
    press reviews - that put the M3 solidly in third place behind the S4 and the
    C32 AMG.

    But thanks for asking, chummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmp ;-)

    Thanks for your reply tsssssharlie but all the reviews I've read say
    otherwise. They generally quote the Benz for best comfort and daily
    driveability but they smash its auto gear and the lack of a limited slip
    diff in its rear axle. They quote the M3 for performance, acceleration, best
    engine and brakes and low consumption and feel. They tend to regard the S4
    as boring and thirsty the only good thing being the quattro and neat trim as
    well as its low to mid-end torque.

    But anyways, I'm asking those who HAVE TRIED BOTH, aren't I, not those
    who've had only dreams about them?

    Try reading something other than Roundel ;-)

    For example...

    As for me, I picked the B5 S4 over the E36 M3 when both were still new. I'm
    not in a big hurry to buy anew, but in any case, you couldn't give me a
    first-year edition of a new model...witness the legion of cato'd engines in
    the first year of the E46 M3.

    cheers ;-)
