The DSG transmission had troubles in its early life. There are three versions of it in the B8/B8.5s. There's V1, V1.5, and V2. V1.5 has some updates that help with reliability and V2 is borderline bulletproof.

It's always entertaining to see the younger generations talk about the S4 as they often think the B5 S4 was the first S4 or the only S4 that had tons of tuning options. In reality, the 20V turbo 5 had and still has tons of tuning potential. The C4 S4 had tons of tuning options before the B5 was even released.... just as the 5000 turbo quattros and UrQuattros did before the C4 S4. You also mentioned that the C4 S4 was an E30 M3 competitor which is not the case. When it was released, the C4 S4 was aligned against the BMW M5 and Mercedes 500 E in terms of size and luxury sedan performance. Naturally, the S4 was less powerful but it was also much less expensive. They sold out quickly at dealerships and even in 1995 you'd often have to have your name on a waiting list and put down an immediate deposit if a C4 S4 came in on trade... we missed at least 4 or 5 cars that sold in the same day before we finally found one to put a deposit on in July of 1995. I'd also go as far to say that the C4 S4 (when properly treated and maintained) is easily one of the most reliable Audis ever built. We have owned 5 of them now and three of them for more than 15 years. Only 3 flat bed incidents for all those cars since 1995. (Failed fuel pump, failed clutch slave and broken coolant fitting). As far as performance potential is concerned, one needs only to search for "Jeff Gerner UrS4 speed record" to get a rough idea. The timing chain issues on the B6 cars are a lot like the IMS bearing issues on the 996 Porsches. It doesn't seem to happen to every car as the internet would like you to believe but it is also there lurking in the back of your mind. "I wonder if the pin is still in the grenade or if today might be the day..." They are a hit with the Vegas types I suppose. ;-)

And......yep. Agree 100%. The C4 is quite possibly the greatest all-round option here. They are tanks and easy to work on when needed. I had some experience with them (and lots of experience with the 200 20v). Reliability and the option (if budget allows) to build an awesome 1000+ hp sleeper is huge. Plus, the C4 is built so well and looks good (yeah it's subjective) too. And....there's the 5 cylinder. A selling point on its own.

Mohammad Alakhras It never left me on the side of the road. The biggest issue is when they are extremely modified. Mine is completely stock motor, with oem Rs6 turbos, gen one injector dynamic 1000cc, and tune. 5 years of daily driving with no issues. I DO NOT DRIVE IT AGGRESSIVELY everyday. I baby it 98 percent of the time. Make sure you get someone who is extremely knowledgeable and good to tune it. Also Whenever something comes up I fix it asap. This is not a car for someone who doesn’t maintain there car. If you want something, that you can drive while thr check engine light is on then buy a civic.

1. There is no such thing as a b4 s4, it's a c4 platform s4. 2. Europe got the 4.2L v8 Audi c4 s4 but that didn't make the car cooler.. The 2.2t 20v is the most desired and most expensive variant with prices up to 10k (euros) 3. The B5 isn't the numero uno when it comes to S4's, in Europe the c4 s4 is veeery popular because the 20v 5 cylinder is a much much better platform to work on (also it's bullet proof). But it's changing because the 20v 5 cylinder is becoming more rare and therefore more expensive, not the same case with the B5 frankly (except rs4).

All my B6s--two sedans and one Avant--were crazy fun but expensive maintenance nightmares. They are not for the light of wallet. (And it's why the Avant is stilling sitting in my driveway with cracked headers; replacing those requires an engine pull!)

I've owned my 2001 S4 for its entire life, as I bought it off the showroom floor in 2001 and it was in the 2001 Detroit Int'l Auto Show. I've put over 170,000 miles on it with only one major engine repair for a blown front crankshaft seal at about 165,000 miles. Turbo's still work, car looks great inside and out. Take care of these cars and you'll have fun and comfort for years.

It will hit the electronic cut off at 165 mph and do well over 170 if disabled in stock form. Driving it makes you feel special, even if you're just going to work. I love my S4, and the B7 is my favorite style.

I bought a black B8.5 (2016) S4 Prestige with 8,000 miles and some bad damage to the two side doors - in 2016 for 40,000 even. my father in law owns a body shop so the doors were done first - so the Car was mint. I changed out the rims next. 19" black tri spoke OEMs. Then I went tunes - eventually to Stage 3 + (intake and pulleys). I upgraded to the ECS heat exchanger and also the redtop coil packs, and Stage 2 on the DSG trans. The Map i have now is 492 HP 440 TQ. This car is a MONSTER. The supercharger SCREAMS and roars. people turn their head from a block away, no joke. so glad i did the ECS carbon fiber intake - expensive but beautiful. I got about $10k in upgrades on a car i pay $550 a month on. it will be paid off in 2 years with less than 50k on it. this thing is unique and nothing on the road sounds like it. it is truly a dream car. Dont hesitate. 12,500 miles on the tunes and no trouble at all. bulletproof engine if you ask me.

I thought about getting a B7 S4, but largely because of the timing chain woes, and 50/50 vs 60/40 torque split I opted for an RS4 instead, and obviously the fact that it's an S4 turned up to 11. Cost me twice as much though for not twice as fast.
