Overall a much more exhilarating driving experience. Plus its extremely annoying that so many of the F30s are ruined by the steering vibration.
I kinda like the S4, but the look seems dated, front bumper/grill is horrible, exhaust sounds like something on a teenagers Japanese car and the lease terms were pretty bad. 53% residual and 6% interest for a 39 month term. Oh, and you have to pay for maintenance every 10K. I computed about $2K in scheduled maintenance visits for a 39 month car.

Audi apparently doesn't need to move cars.
