A few things to point out:
1) The A4 does NOT come standard Quattro, it is an option
2) The e90 vs. B8 Audi (latest model) 6MT is quite the opposite -- I had the MT my whole life and the long throw and sometimes not so easy gearing was the only disappointment I had on my e90 (beside the RFTs). I love the latest Audi 6MT (on my 2010 S4) -- it is smooth, never had an issue putting it into the first gear or Reverse, it is very much precise, and much shorter throw than the Bimmer...
3) Since you mentioned 8 months of enjoyment without the snow tires -- I must tell you -- GOOD LUCK with those RFTs. |
In general I would agree with S4 vs 335i comparisons but like allin said, the normal A4 doesn't have the same advantages over the normal 3 series that the S4 enjoys. Also regarding the gearboxes, I feel the same to be true abouts both DCTs, the DSG is slightly smoother and less problematic than the DCT in the M3 at least.
But frankly either brands make a bad car and both are enjoyable to own.
