Audi S4 B8 Vs B8 5

B8 5 reliability the general consensus is that the b8 5 s4 s are significantly more reliable than the b8 s4 s.

Audi s4 b8 vs b8 5. I would highly reccomend one over a b8. The mlb based 3 0t powered b8 audi s4 and b8 5 s4 and s5 are some of the very best offerings from ingolstadt to date. Changing the suspension from audi s heavily researched and optimized spring rates and dampening is no small feat however and some aftermarket suspension upgrades can in fact ride worse than the factory equipment. One of the main problem areas of the b8 models was the dsg or s tronic transmissions.

There is a lot more subtle change in the lower fog light grills. Usability the b8 is more useable every day at the end my b5 was doing 16 to the gallon on a run which meant you could barely do 200 miles to a tank which ruined it a bit for me. I have recently gained an interested in purchasing a b8 5 a4 as a daily with the updated engine and 8 speed transmission. They occupy a sweet spot offering dynamic performance refinement and understated but classic good looks that have continued to age well ever since the original s5 was released in 2008.

I have owned many performance cars from japanese makers as well as porsche and bmw but audi is a new world to me. The difference being the bend in the strip that goes horizontally across the fog light grill is not straight. There are no cons to getting the b8 5 im sure some will argue that the hydraulic power steering in the b8 is better than the electromechanical in the b8 5 but the difference is barely dicernable. Hi everyone i am new to the audi world and have limited knowledge of them so please be kind.

And in the bottom picture we can see the other grill option for the b8 5 audi being that it is entirely mesh versus horizontal slats. I have been doing some research and these seem to be better in.
