Has anyone had a hard time deciding between the 1.8t and the 3.0?

Default You had better ask the "wife" first!
The guy I got to co-pilot for me this past weekend now wants to convince his wife that the S4 is a perfect replacement for their "older" car (even though he's a BMW fan). He's asked me to give his wife a demonstration (I suggested that his plot might backfire on him, and that he should rethink his strategy a little before proceeding).

Anyway, the car is always available to you... :-)

Default Nope..
Got the 1.8T, had a 3.0 for a week while it was in for service..

3.0 is nice, but makes it kind of a grandma feeling car.

My 1.8T is broken in nice now, and just sounds/feels better to me (Came from high revving ricers though), plus I just got 34 mpg on a 70 mile trip!

"always"? does that mean that I can borrow it when my A4 is in the body shop next week?

3.0 - especially if you don't chip

Once again: Buy the best you can afford. Without question if you can afford the 3.0 - get it.

Default just remember though, you have to be able to AFFORD IT,, anyone can afford the initial price
but often people are lumbered with the white elephant

3.0 is substantially faster & worth it if you have the $

Got 3.0, but park it during week and bicycle to work - really doing my part.
