It got stuck at a set of lights and took me like 10 minutes to inch out of the intersection, it was pretty icey but whatever. AND, also like I said, I was comparing it other rwd cars I have owned like the 350z and I personally found it worse.
I would still drive both and make your decision, you also don't want to pick a car for the ~30days of shitty roads/year. When I did get the C55 on dry roads it was an awesome car, sounded and handled awesome.
When I was car shopping I had three cars in mind, M3, C55 and the S4. I drove all three and loved every one of them.
The main reason I picked the S4 was the odd trip to Sask I have to make in the winter (needs awd), the seats (Recaro front and rear) and the over all interior quality I found to be better. Now all the decision factors are personal; all three cars are awesome, I don't really believe you can make a wrong choice. Good luck!
Yeah I understand, I'm sure its OK in the winter, but you could probably do a lot better than a C55 as well haha. I have driven both cars plenty of times, just not for the last year or so, which is why I want a refresher. The AWD most certainly appeals to me and as I said that is definitely the way I am leaning. Basically its between a 2006-2007 S4 (probably from the states, even at 1.10 exchange) and a Canadian 2005 C55. If I somehow can afford a bit more $, or if exchange drops, I'll be looking into an RS4 from the states more seriously but that might be pushing it a bit.
