I have been convinced that I wanted an S4 for a while ....until my test drive yesterday. It is a beautiful car and although the best performance of the 3... I felt underwhelmed and it feels small. I feel like my 335i is a tad larger, more comfortable, and a better performer.
The 535i was by far the most luxurious and plush...great interior, smooth and capable but not as aggressive performance as what I have in the 335i...felt boring 
Didn't help that they have a new M3 and M4 on the lot taunting me 
A6 TDI was surprisingly nice, never drove a tdi before, lots of torque, capable, nice interior but....again just felt like a decent business class luxury car....felt practical despite the price.
So now I am considering the following. ...Cadillac CTS V Sport (V6 TT), Dodge Charger SRT8, Ford Taurus SHO, and Chevrolet SS sedan. Have not test drove any of them. ..but all similar class and larger cars.
Thoughts, experience, recommendations? |
I recommend test driving a '14 E550 4MATIC. It's actually a bit lighter (and faster) than the 550i xDrive (which is a great car). It has a 4.6L biturbo V8.
It's luxurious and it's an absolute torque monster. Plus, if you tune it, you can easily achieve well over 500 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque.
Even after driving my C63, my E550 still feels like an animal, particularly from a dig.
