Default Audi owners-your thoughts on the s4(b5)/a4(b6)and tt(mk1) models?

I might be selling my bmw next week and I've been thinking about picking up an Audi for my next car. I've narrowed down to these 3 models and wanted to hear your thoughts on the insurance/reliability/and of course performance aspect. I found a coupe of really good deals on all these models but cannot make up my mind. Please feel free to comment if you're an owner, mechanic or have any sort of experience with these cars. Thanks in advance!

b5 s4's are fun...but from what I've seen from my buddies S, pricey....then again he's gone a lil over 50k miles in 2 years.

As long as you're not getting a 2.8 they all have pretty good power potential. S4s will be WAY more expensive to mod but an all-out S4 is pretty sweet. Also, I prefer the look of the B6 to the B5, exterior and interior. The B5s are starting to lok old.

Of the three I'd go with a TT. They look sweet, they've got plenty of potential and you don't see twenty of them a day. Go with a 225 AWD six-speed.

^yea the s4 would be my first choice and the b6s just have a more updated look and the tt would have the best of both worlds

not really, neither of the other two stock compares to a s4, not even fucking close. Power wise I mean. s4's really roll out for even a stock one. Chip it and its even more powerful.

i just almost bought a tt. they're awesome cars. the only common problems seem to be the window regulators going out and the timing belt getting shitty around 60k.
