Hi all,
I've got some questions regarding the general driveability of a porsche 911 compared to an Audi S4 or S6. I know it sounds stupid but sometimes the biological clock of a special wife can make a man get stupid thoughts. :-) I'm thinking of getting a more family oriented car but still want to have a fun sports car. I like German cars and the 993 has been a kick. In fact, it's so fun I'm not sure I would sell it even if it makes sense!
My questions are this: have any of you driven an audi s4 avant or s6 wagon? How is the body roll, stiffness, etc when compared to the Porsche? Does either of them have anything that compares to winding out 2nd gear on a freeway onramp in the Porsche? How are the brakes? My wife wants a kickass sports car with cupholders and room for a run to the Costco (local warehouse store). I don't really want a full blooded SUV like an X5 or Cayenne...but, a real sporty station wagon seems like a possibility.
I drove an S6 last summer but haven't found an s4 avant lately to test.
Anyone out there have experience with late model Audi s-model wagons and care to share thoughts? I know the Porsche is the driving car but I'm wondering how much of a tradeoff the sport wagons are...
Thanks,
-dave
