    Okay,

    I need some help. I have three cars that i can't decide between. Can some of you share some insight.

    I need a daily driver. I live in Pittsburgh, Pa and we get our fair share of snow.

    My options are:

    2007 Audi rs4
    2009 BMW 335xi e90
    2008 Audi s6

    Please provide some opinions based on performance, comfort, and looks.

    RS4 is my favorite, but i don't know if i want another manual.

    Manual **> RS4

    AUTO **> S6

    No reason to get a 335xi over either of the Audis. They are both superior to that BMW model

    IMO RS4 for performance and looks.

    S6 for comfort - performance is good but it is a more substantial car and feels it too.

    335xi is not a bad car but I only like the look of the coupe (E92) and find the interior a little underwhelming.

    Your posting this in an Audi web forum, RS4 sub forum to boot.

    All 3 are nice choices, however there is only 1 clear winner......

    depends what you want out of the car...

    do you want a coupe or 4 door?

    are you going to keep it stock? if not, then for $1000 you can make the 335xi wipe the floor with the audis in terms of acceleration.

    the rs4 would be my choice if i had to drive in the snow.

    The RS4 and the S6 are both nice cars. I agree with the above posts that BMW has an inferior AWD system. The S6 of the same year and mileage seems to go for a few Gs less than the RS4 from a quick look online. For me, I would take the RS4...it looks nicer with more characters, it comes with a MT, there are less of them on the road but if I want a MT or if I want to save a few Gs, then the S6 would be a good alternative.
    Current:
    981 Boxster Spyder Black / 981 GT4 Carmine Red / 12 TT RS Suzaka Grey/ 12 C63 AMG Saphire Grey
    Past:
    08 RS4 Ibis White / 16 Macan Turbo Jet Black / 03 996TT Seal Grey (MT) / 05 A8L W12 / 06 Cayman S Atlas Gray (MT) / 06 E46 M3 Conv (MT) / 06 B7 S4 Avant (MT) / 01 S4 (MT) / 97 M3 Sedan (MT) / 95 M3 (MT)

    S6 is a good highway cruiser.....and that's all it's good for. It's a pretty slow car. They also get carbon build up so keep that in mind

    Don't know if he's troll'in, or not, but I also live in the Burgh, and just picked up a 2007 RS4 in February after having 2 BMWs...the last being an e46 M3. I'm still a big BMW fan, but wanted to try something different, and I always liked the RS4. I really wanted a V8...and I startedI started to get sick of driving in the snow with RWD (w/ snow tires)...if it's flat - no problem, but the hills in Pittsburgh can be trouble. I've driven a 335, and thought about buying one - it's a great car out of the box, and it can be made very fast for little $$, but the RS4 felt more substantial and gave me a bigger grin.

    Anything with that turbo 3.0L from BMW is nasty, but they're having some serious reliability problems.

    335 drivers are the most annoying people on the face of the earth. They think their cars have more superpowers than even some B5 S4 owners.

    You are an automatic doushebag if you drive a 335 coupe. Especially if you think you're better than M3 owners because you can make your car faster.
