I'd get an S4 manual. Should be around the same price as the 335.

I'd Go the 335, even though I am an Audi owner(q5) Haven't driven the a4 but have driven a 335 and my dad owns a 135, it's a fantastic engine with great amounts of torque from so low in the rev range

Can't buy an A6 with a manual?

If used, I buy a BMW. Audi's aren't designed for the long haul (IMO). Maintenance costs will be an issue at some point. Neither car is getting me excited. How about a Jaguar XF or Infiniti M?

Same could be said for BMW.

335 seems like a sportier choice.

I looked to buy an XF at one point and that became a no go quickly. Good car, great looking but Jaguar barely certifies any of their used cars and a perusal of their forum is a bit of a horror show. But the manufacturer not providing an additional warranty told me all I needed to know.

I think the M car is boring personally. But probably more reliable than either German.

My question is why is the OP cross shopping the A6 vs the 335. The A6 is much larger and less sporty due to it's size. Are you looking for luxury "sport" cruiser, or are you looking for more of a sports sedan?

I'd get the A6 and keep it till the warranty ran out. I find the BMW designs off putting of late.

I think the A6 is a better car but you'll really need to test drive both and see which you like better.
