Decently good car, shares the same drivetrain as the Audi S4 platform, drove one for a few months, not long enough to know long term reliability but it was a fun car

The 2018 S4 can be a moneypit. Although the Porsche has the 2.9TFSI so it's the RS5's drivetrain which is better.

oh my mistake, i thought it was the S4, embarrassing as a german car guy 😂

oh that's a 958 generation, my neighbor had one in that exact black and it looked menacing as hell even just sitting there drivetrain is solid on these, the 3.6 VR6 in the base model is basically unkillable if you stay on top of oil changes, transfer case can get a little grumpy around 80k miles though so listen for any whining on the test drive
