i'd guess its just the software. i've never actually driven an s4/s5 but everyone seems to like it.

Honestly the reason I didn't get an s4 over an A4 was I wanted to try a DCT (had the zf8 in my last car, and f30. it was great but the DCT in my A4 I think is still a little more direct feeling DCTs are still like just slightly better enough that you can notice). Audi gave a bunch of excuses as to why the S4 has the zf8 like the dct doesnt support X lb ft of torque but it was definitely a cost issue. the rs5 has the zf8 also.

But the new a6... which has basically the same engine.... has a dct.
