Which one should I buy?

Tell me why a 2005 Subaru Legacy GT is better then a 2000 Audi S4. I am thinking of getting either one.

 

S4= PITA in every way, shape, and form

 

They're both great cars. However, the S4 will cost more to mod and maintain if out of warranty.

S4 with turbo kit:yumyum:...there ya go! My friend has a 2001 2.7T S4 with Ko4 turbo kit upgrade and puts out 450+ at the wheel. very fast, very low profile

 

warranty. maintenance on an audi is a killer. my buddies lightly modded s4 is constantly in the shop. and it's never a cheap fix.

 

yeah, my buddy's S4 is mad hot, but its retarded expensive too to do anything with

 

i know a local guy whos s4 that decided to start on fire and burn to the ground.....

and yea wiring gremlins follow anything vw around....

 

The only way you can consider owning an S4 is if you can make all the repairs your self. Nothing like coils going bad, water pumps taking dumps, and oil leaks. Oh and don't forget the maintenance.

 

I bet rhere's a big ass difference in the insurance costs as well...

 

I wish I'd have gotten a Leggy GT instead of my WRX. I'm really starting to realize low-key is a good thing. :emo:

 

not just cause its a subaru forum but seriously s4-costs easily twice as much to repair, people in audi clubs generally suck, mods cost twice as much, no ecu reflashing, need to take ecu out to tune, engine IS A KENIPTION**** OF STUFF...insurance is way more, gas mileage worse...it will be a bit faster STOCK but the LEGACY GT will be a better car for th emoney

 

forget the fire comment, Dave's s4 had a ****ty title. my dad had a 2001 s4. He loved the car but it was a low mileage one. It has great power even in stock form, although it responded incredibly to tuning. Some big problems you would run into would be turbo's, timing I think and something in the cooling system. The s4 really depends on what you are looking for. If you want a car for a year then buy the s4 assuming the mileage isn't too high. If you want a car to drive without worrying about as much( but not as fun in stock trim) then get the lgt

 

Would you guys like a list of normal repairs for a typical S4 owner
Check engine light came on.
No problem you just need new front o2's $380 per side.
Damn check engine light came on again.
No problem broken vacuum lines $190
Abs and brake light came on.
No problem your ABS module took a dump. That will be $680
I have a clunk noise in the front.
No problem one of your eight front control arms is loose. $320 per arm
Oh snap I need a new timing belt $890
I have an oil burning smell.
No problem you need new cam adjuster seals. $900
Would you like me to continue?

 

Oh and don't forget about the cv boots that brake open. $310 per side.

 

Theres no problem the S4 would have that alot of money can't fix. If you can afford it, buy the S4.

I would get the 2005 Legacy GT. I looked into getting an S4 but all the stories it heard about them really put me off of it.

 

if you have to ask.. then you just won't understand

 

i have only had my lgt for 2 1/2 months and i already have 6000 mi on it. its just a really fun comfortable car to drive, and i can't wait to turn it into a sleeper
