Thumbs up M6 vs. A4 which would u rather have!

nothing beats having the fun factor of a M6 car, and nothing else is easier then to just press the throttle and go in a a4 car! now post up which would be the better car for you and WHY!!

I like my auto for a street car because I tend to make alot of runs on the street. It sucks to drive though, nothing compared to an M6 for the fun factor

Also, just wanted to say, I dont think the auto's are as disadvantaged from a roll as everyone makes them out to be

And my next street car will be an M6 or M12, regardless of how well my auto leaves on the street.

I have an M6 and yea it's fun, but lately I've wished I had an A4...

I'm so sick of dealing with clutch/tranny issues... I've literally had my clutch in/out of the car at least 8 times now... tried so many different ones. 90% of the time it was a faulty install

If it weren't for all the issues I'm having with my M6 i'd vote for it... but I voted A4

M6 all the way for me. I dont know how good the A4's are on the highway but I love how I can just throw my car in sixth barely over idle going with the rest of traffic. i also really enjoy driving my M6.

fun factor is a big plus+++

thread isnt going to prove anything diff then i said. Its going to depend on the person and what there goals with the car is. Auto owns street racing/drag racing at the track. stick is going to own road racing and having fun driving around.

How many people have actually driven a stalled auto car? Its a lot diff then you think and ads a fun factor to the car. I've been all about stick car and this is my first auto car i've ever owned. Its actually enjoyable however from time to time do miss rowing through gears but i just launch the car dead hook and go and that makes up for it sometimes

I don't really like m6's, don't know why. I love my stalled a4. It's a completely different beast with a stall.
