From a Prius to a S4

[happy187]

So the title is a little clickbait as this isn't my first euro but it is my first Audi. Other cars of note in the past include e36 M3, e46 M3, e34 M5, E63 AMG. I leased a Prius for 2 years to save some fuel and money while I made a career change and had to stay on a budget. Now, 2 years later, things are looking up and my lease is up. I gave back the prius (which was almost 6k upside on the lease) and found this 2011 S4 at the Audi dealer by my house. I really wanted one with Nav but when I found out that it was recently traded in and the previous owner was the lead mechanic at the dealership I figured it was a safe bet that it was well serviced.

Auto, Alcantara, No Nav (only thing I am bummed about), B&O sound and RS4 grill 72k miles. Not a squeak rattle nothing. It still smells new. Absolutely freaking love it. I forgot what it was like to love what you drive.

Very sharp car. Can't speak for the B8s, but on the B7 you can retrofit nav. Might be worth looking in to.

1. Good find. congrats!
2. Ask the mechanic if he had to TD1 his own car due to the RS4 grill..just kidding
3. I feel for you. Going from those past cars to a prius. ouch. Automotive kick in the nuts right there. Welcome back.

It's possible and has been done, but it's a pretty huge job on the b8

Well back from the green side to the dark side lol. I've always thought about buying a volt used since they are so cheap

[mmm def]

Looks really nice

Really nice. Quite a difference from the Prius

Get a GPS app for your phone (I use CoPilot) and a RAM mount. Instant easy navi. Easier and cheaper to keep updated too.

CoPilot loads the maps on your phone so you don't need a data connection, only GPS satellite reception.

Congrats!

As for the Nav via MMI... it sucks, so you're not really missing anything.

Waze on a phone is lightyears better...

yeah thats the one. the salesman called me right after you looked at it. I was running late and he called to make sure I was still coming because "someone was looking at it now, and they had 2 other appointments on it later that day." Ha, I thought it was dealer BS.

Congrats -- She sure is snazzy looking!


Man those supercharged badges are so much better than the v6t imo...

Have a look at the Alpine head unit made specifically for the B8, would be a nice upgrade from non MMI.

I had no idea. I'd buy this just to have a clockwise zoom in... I wonder...

I thought these were euro only

Congrats man! Also picked up mine in silver with peelers as well about 3 weeks ago. I've been contemplating a grille swap and yours is pushing me in the right direction!

Great looking S4!
