I really like the S4, and I think that it can more easily be tuned to high power (don't have to worry too much about getting the power to the wheels, and you're starting with a larger displacement engine). However, I chose the Viggen over the S4 because of headroom, hatch, and looks. I was looking for a more versatile car, and I've already used my Viggen to haul a freezer (standing up!) and a power washer, both in their boxes. There's no way to do that in an S4, unless you get the Avant. But the Avant was a little more than I wanted to spend, particularly because at the time there weren't any deals on these cars. Now, apparently http://www.carsdirect.com will sell you an S4 at quite a bit below MSRP. And, at the time, I couldn't see buying a station wagon. (Now, I'm actually thinking of the WRX station wagon, but that's a different story.)
If you want a more versatile car, I think the Viggen is better. If you don't care about versatility, the S4 is very nice. And, they should be having some deals on them as they aren't making any more for a while.
