Maintenance is the biggest draw back. More spark plugs, two turbos to worry about (not to mention accessibility to the turbos) etc. If you've got the money to handle anything that goes then you should be fine.

Since I just sold my 98 A4, I'm shopping for another audi. Looking local to where I'm at there are many A4's of varying quality, but I came across a 2000 S4, with about 125K, and the 6spd (which really turns me on to the car) and thought I'd ask over here about the longevity and durability of the 2.7t. I have read some posts here and other sites where A4 guys are bashing the 2.7 for one reason or another. I will be using it as my DD, not a track car, so I'm more concerned about how it will last in stock form with a little highway run here and there.
Also any pitfalls associated with this model I should look for would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

The 2.7T is a very robust engine and there have been multiple cases on AZ and QW of S4's running into the 200K mark on stock turbos. It all has to do with how they are maintained, warm-up, cool down, etc. I would only but one with a lot of records. Regular maintenance can be a little pricey, but it is a performance sedan and the maintenance is MUCH cheaper than the repairs. After owning your A4, I am sure you are familiar with this. Go for it, you won't be disappointed.

BTW, ride safe!

Yea, car was actually A6, so like I said above, wrong info, and wrong forum. Never had so many fucks jump my ass for trying to do the right thing before.
