I had similar impressions after driving both S4 (~3900 lbs) and S3 (~3450 lbs): great interiors, bland/boring exteriors, great grip, too much under-steer. Too much weight for S4 as well.

S4 was too much like a 335ix.
S3 is definitely more fun and better bang for the buck. It was my close second choice.

In the end, I could not resits the redhead below.
With CF roof and ~3550 lbs - irresistible.

P.S.: I got a 335d as a loner for 1200 mile service - a very fine highway cruiser. Tons of torque, but again, way too heavy to be fun.

OP, stumbled across this post. Love your car/color. Glad you are happy with it. I wouldn't mind owning one. Maybe I can buy yours?
