The S4 is a highway car, and it does well at that.

Default Haven't driven the STi, but...

...from driving my wife's WRX, my impressions are that the steering is *much* better than the S4's -- lighter, and much more communicative. The seats aren't leather (or heated), but they are much better bolstered for actual performance driving -- they feel a lot like the Recaros in the B6. And yes, the gearbox isn't perfect, but it kills the stock S4 box -- which is really what you should compare it to, right?

Default no the STI isnt full of crap--but it is a cheap flimsy two bit thrown together piece of crap!

it serves a niche--its a car for folks who cant afford a decent car.
