b5 S4 Avant vs mkiv r32

[tplociniak]

I have read the 2.7l can be a money pit to maintain, but I do love the wagon and have always loved the power from them once tuned...but I also love the r32 and the hatch and it should be easier to maintain

What are some thoughts/opinions from you guys, this will be a daily driver

MKIV R. The 2.7l is a money pit; and even with heavy mods the VR6 will hold up better.

Or you can be like usp motorsports and have the best of both worlds... They have a b5 s4 with a vr6 single turbo setup. here is there facebook page that shows the motor build.
