I know my sample size is small but I have had the total opposite experience with my Volvo’s and Audis. I had 2 A8s that were reliability nightmares. My wife has a nearly 3 year old XC90 and I have now have a 5 year old S90 and both have been absolutely trouble free.

daytona grey is cool - but it's hard to find it with a red or grey interior. black seems to be most popular.
i'm on the fence between daytona grey and navarra blue. we'll see which dealership can offer me the best price as i have them compete against one another. i know sedans aren't selling, they know sedans aren't selling. the ball is in my court.

i'm curious to know, as everyone is so critical of the s4, which compact sports luxury sedan you would all pick save for the m340i which i don't like the exterior nor the interior of.

I would also highly recommend Model 3 if you have place to charge it.

You can say that about new 4series for sure as its significantly larger than F32 4series and much uglier. The new 3series was a much better execution compared to F30 and grew only a little in size. I can tell you even the base 330i without Msport pack is a solid car with good driving dynamics. I have driven them a bit when my cars were in for service.

it's honestly a more difficult task than i thought it would be and i'm considering now putting it off until more models are released but i kinda fear that the more i wait the fewer gas-powered options will be available. i read that the new c-class will only be available with i4s combined with some sort of electrification which yes, is good for the planet, but no, it's not good for me haha.

Sounds like you don’t need 4 doors - what about a BMW M240? Seems like the size and performance you are seeking.
I like the G70 and Guilia recommendations too, if you just don’t feel the M340 which is probably best in class. We’ve had 3 Volvos since 2012, including 2 S60’s, and never needed a repair. Caddy is even improving their game with the newest version of CT4.
The S4 is a great car and seems to be your preference. I’d go with the blue.😄
Good luck but while none might be perfect it’s hard to make a bad choice in this segment. Pick the one you like best.
