It’s ok to be wrong.

Really stupid comment.

Sounds like the average inbred Bostonian.

B8 models 2010-2012, B8.5 2013-2016. Be wary of the early 2010 and some 2011 cars, they had early trans issue. 2012+ you are golden.

Whatever they put those engines in, won’t be going far given the reliablilty.

Please do share!

I’m far from a Ford guy, but if i was to every buy a domestic brand It will be Ford hands down. They’re owning in every segment.

Had a 6.2L raptor line up against my then bone stock S4 once, he was revving his engine must have thought it was fast or something bc it was loud. Anyways, I put busses on him. Hope you enjoy that.

That’s why S4 is a better car for same money.

Not body on frame = not SUV = Crossover. The Sante Fe is a crossover, lifted sedan platform. Drive a real SUV and see how capable they are REAL offroads.

What do you expect from a woman?

Only if you’re a limo driver. That’s the only reason anyone should every buy a Lincoln.

LMAO that’s awesome that you won it. I don’t know too many people that would buy a 500 even as a daily haha. Hows the reliability been so far? There is a guy in my neighboorhood who has the abarth edition, sounds really good.

Don’t these come stock with a turbo 4? Have you thought about tuning? ECU tunes these days get a lot of power out of any FI power plant. Just curious what numbers you could get. Might be a very fun pocket rocket.

They ride pretty well, and it’s faster car in a different league. Apples to oranges is correct. Maintenance is a big differnce, but indy shops and avoiding dealer makes it worth the premium over a SHO, IMO of course. Biggest cost is a DSG fluid flush that costs about $400 at any performance shop on the high end, and…

Yeah lets test a 4 door extended cab against a 2 door... These guys are morons, and also with their horrible measurements of 0-60 times, EVEN FOR high altitude it’s bullshit.

That’s a good deal, but it’s still a heavy pig of a car. B8 S4s can be had for same price, and are a pretty reliable car overall. And a simple stage 1 tune on it you’re doing 0-60 under 4 seconds easily. Every time. Dual clutch gear box, or Manual. Stage 2 you’re doing 1/4 mile under 12 seconds repeatable all day. Now…

Yeah but then you’re crawling the rest of the time, like everywhere.

Or, for the same money (31-32K) you can have A MUCH BETTER CAR, a CPO Audi S4.   B8.5s with extended warranty, and the B8s would be even cheaper but higher mileage. And it’s a much better drivers car, faster and better handling. Also a sleeper, and it will blow the doors off a SHO.

Nice and yes I agree the S3 isn’t worth it to me. It’s a glorified Golf R for 10K more. Speaking of which did you check out the R as well? I really love that car for what you get. I had a B8 S4 and loved that car to death, I thought the B8.5 CPO prices would have been in the low 40s now, and certainly cheaper than a…
