The B7 S4 is an OK car, it grips, is reasonably quick but it's engine doesn't have much scope for cheap tuning like you have with the 35i engined cars. It's main advantages over the 135i is the engine note (can't beat a V8), it's way more practical and it's got AWD to cope with any weather condition that threw at you. But it's not the best S Audi on sale or even secondhand, the S3 2.0TFSI is a more entertaining drive and feels a lot lighter on it's feet, it's just as quick (almost) and can be tuned to 330hp reasonably cheaply.
But if you can afford it and have your heart set on an Audi then buy the new B8 S4 because it's the best S model Audi ever and when combined with the trick diff it's will easily see off the 135i/335i on the track plus even in stock form is quicker in acceleration than both of them. It's not a cheap car but this time round it's worth every penny extra.
