Don't know what mods you had on your S4 but a bolt on + meth N54 BMW 335xi will surely give you the giggles.  I had H&R coilovers, APR stage II ECU, short shifter, Neuspeed catback exhaust. |

http://fourtitude.com/features/Reviews_amp_Road_Tests_14/driven-2015-audi-s3-sedan/ And if that doesn't cut it, hang in there for the RS3... 367hp 2.5TFSI (or over 400 with a tune). And I thought I read that the RS3 would have a new Quattro system of some sort, which will then work it's way down the line to the rest of the cars. I don't know about the RS3, but the S3 uses a Haldex system. |

I'm a Jaguar guy, so I'm going to suggest the XF AWD Sport. It's got a 340 hp supercharged V6; 6.1 to 60, so it's spritely rather than seriously fast.
They really need to build an AWD system that can handle the 550 hp V8. |

Ford Taurus SHO.
You won't look like a teenager with a mohawk. I have a good friend from HS, who hasn't been able to keep a STI together. You won't have that issue with the Ford. Your love affair with a third pedal may keep destined to failure. I do prefer a manual myself, but if I was in the market and budget allowed I would own a SHO. Looks wicked without looking teenager.  |

Audi A4S?
Ford 2.0 has 240HP and 270lbs/ft torque. More than the Audi 2.0, but the 6 speed vs Audi's 8 speed (I think) makes it slower.

No, its because Audi Doesn't tune their engines for peak numbers trying to sell them in adds and magazine covers, they tune them for the widest powerband possible. gives a refined feeling of a bigger motor, the ability to pass without having to down shift, or to fling it around up a mountain rd without needing to test the rev limiter and still have fun. HP doesn't mean crap, a good responsive engine with good torque and good HP is the key. you can have fun, with a fairly fast car without having the beat the snot out of it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: A new A4, they are EXCELLENT cars. ETA: The Subey may be qucik maybe even quicker depending on the model. But the interior blows compared to the Audi. Closest you'll get to the Audi is the BMW 3 series with AWD. Of the BMW and Audi, I think the Audi is the one Id wanna live with on a day to day basis. |

No, the S3 is available in the US. Sedan only, no hatchback anymore. 292hp/280lb-ft, or 380/386 if you don't mind sending a few bucks towards APR. Only downside is it's DSG-only(which doesn't bother me at all, but I know OP wants the standard). The main downside is the Haldex AWD system that it and all transverse engine VAG cars use. It blows. It's heavily FWD biased, it's inherently much more complex than the Torsen system, and it requires periodic maintenance. |

It's actually 100% FWD until the traction control system senses wheel slippage. Servicing the Haldex diff is a pain in the ass, and it's supposed to be done every 20 or 25k. |
