Viggen vs. S4. I think my car is still better.

Last weekend had a chance to test drive S4. I was very eager to try the car what is talked about so much. So my very naïve and amateurish impressions: 1st gear acceleration is much better and solid than in Viggen. No famous "Viggen" dance, I think it feels more powerful in S4. 2nd gear is also more smooth. Handling I would say is better than Viggen too, at least exiting highway, on off-ramp with decreasing radius it felt more stable and ad more grip than Viggen. Maybe an effect of 4 wheel drive, or maybe because it is heavier.
However the most pleasant moment for me was to feel (tried few times) that acceleration in 3rd isn't stronger than Viggen's. I think Viggen really screams in the 3rd or 4th gear.
So far, S4 made an impression of very good and strong car, but I think Viggen has more character, fun to drive and 3rd gear is better :)
