I love this car

2007 Audi S4 quattro 4dr Sedan AWD (4.2L 8cyl 6M)

Review

This car is awesome. In no way too flashy. The audi S4 performs really well and gets the job done on the road. I chose it mainly because I wanted a complete package I could enjoy for years to come. It is also a pretty rare car and I have only seen one more other exact car as mine on the road. I have the dtm package on black so its a very low profile look. The exhaust sound is very menacing stock and it sounds amazing with the windows down. The transmission shifts smoothly and the power is across the whole power band. Its amazing how you don't have to wait for any turbo to give you the extra power you need. Its all there.

Favorite Features

The front Recaros are very comfortable. The engine sounds amazing. The DTM body package is very distinct and gets me a lot of comments. The interior is second to none. I have yet to feel that any other car beat this interior. Everything is solid.

Suggested Improvements

MPG. But then again, its a V8 and it is expected. I usually get around 23 mpg on the highway which is pretty good for a performance car. I expect to own this car for years.

Fun car

2007 Audi S4 quattro 2dr Convertible AWD (4.2L 8cyl 6A)

Review

I love this car. It is one of the most fun cars you will ever drive. Putting that top down in a matter of seconds and zooming down the road with the air blowing in your face is just spectacular. The roar of the engine from the exhaust sytem is just invigorating. Love it.

Favorite Features

The rear parking assist is a huge help with parking. Usually my neck gets really stiff but now all I have to hear are the beeping noises to tell me how much further to go. It's great

Review

Very fun car to drive, incredible engine. Love the sound of the V8, do not love the gas mileage of the V8, but always worth it. Still the best interiors on the market. Only negative is that the brakes sometimes squeal.

Favorite Features

Engine, nav, sound, interior.

Suggested Improvements

More aggressive exterior.

2007 S4 manual transmission

2007 Audi S4 quattro 4dr Sedan AWD (4.2L 8cyl 6M)

Review

My 5th quattro in a row, but my 1st "S". It is a sublime rocket described as a compact, four door family sedan. It may be the one of the best "sleeper" cars currently available. Its power and brakes border or intrude on true sports car territory. The build quality is superb. It is bank vault solid with close to excellent feedback of the road and driving conditions. The exhaust note sold me on the car. It is a car enthusiasts Beethoven's fifth. It will not attract unwanted attention but will certainly capture the onlookers attention as it roars past with the silky V8 at full song at 7000 RPM. Certainly my best car purchase to date and zero regrets.

Favorite Features

V8 sound. Sleeper characteristics. Superb interior. Power, brakes, handling. Amenities aplenty. Extremely aesthetic exterior with nothing screaming out to other drivers "I am a fast vehicle, come and get me." Extremely proactive and reactive from a safety standpoint. Love all wheel drive.

Suggested Improvements

Better gas mileage, but can't really complain, I knew this when I bought it. Rear seat leg room tough for adults. I still wish Audi would fill the wheel arches as completely as BMW seems to do without lowering the car itself.

2007 Audi S4 Avant

2007 Audi S4 Avant quattro 4dr Wagon AWD (4.2L 8cyl 6A)

Review

I bought the S4 Avant (specifically not the sedan) because I have dogs and they go everywhere with me. I'm more than frustrated with the air circulation in this car. I live in Phoenix. Audi absolutely missed the boat when it comes to the comfort of anyone not sitting in the front. There are no air vents in the back (except on the floor) and while there are air vents in the back of the car, they're only for defrosting and work only when heat comes through them. I'm forced to drive my Volvo for four months out of the year because it's literally cruel to have my dogs baking in the back (even though the a/c is on high). Don't buy this car unless you plan to only have one passenger.

Favorite Features

Honestly I like the styling and performance/handling.

Suggested Improvements

Fix the air conditioning. This car is a sweatbox and anyone living in areas with temperatures over 90 degrees will regret owning it. For the millions of people in the US living in warmer climates, this should be a show-stopper. I dread every summer with my S4 Avant.

First months of ownership

Review

This is my first Audi/German car. I was looking for a fun, safe, classy car that would accommodate my 6 year old twins. I looked at all cars under 60k. The S4 fulfilled all my expectations and more. I still find new features on the car, i.e. the way it channels rain over the car not on the side windows and the memory of seat, mirror and climate settings tied to the remote. The build quality is excellent. It is so solid. The speed is addictive. Cornering is phenomenal. It's limits cannot be safely explored on the street. I am a quattro convert.

Favorite Features

Quattro traction and cornering, DTM sport body kit with carbon fiber spoilers, thrust and smoothness of the V-8, solid, safe feel, Recaro seats, exclusivity (I've only seen 2 2007 S4s on the streets of Chicagoland), great brakes. I could go on and on. My kids saying "I want to ride in Daddy's car."

Suggested Improvements

About 16.5 mpg. But, this is expected of a sports car and the gas guzzler tax was a big clue. More brake dust on the wheels than any car I've owned. Finicky clutch engagement... hard to be smooth with the wife on board. Needs a larger gas tank (16.6 gallons gets me about 275 miles between fill-ups!).

Sharp car that is fun to drive

2007 Audi S4 quattro 4dr Sedan AWD (4.2L 8cyl 6M)

Review

Bought this car a few months ago and really enjoy the V8 power on tap and the crisp handling. This is my first Audi and I have been very impressed. The gas mileage is below average, but I knew this going in and I don't think the car should be penalized for it.

Favorite Features

Smooth power delivery, DTM appearance package, all wheel drive.

Suggested Improvements

I would say more horsepower but there is already an RS4.

Audi S4

2007 Audi S4 quattro 4dr Sedan AWD (4.2L 8cyl 6M)

Review

Outstanding performance; agile and responsive; excellent braking and steering; more comfortable than its BMW counterpart; great engine sounds; excellent build quality. The only disadvantage, which is a given for this kind of performance, is relatively poor mileage... 22 on open road.

Favorite Features

Acceleration; stability; stopping power.

Suggested Improvements

None.

Road Machined

Review

This is my second S4; a black on black automatic sedan with carbon fibre trim; bluetook; parktronic; premium sound; navigation and front heated seats. The car is sensational - even better than the first. The combination of the handling with the steering wheel controlled tiptronic transmission is fantastic. The navigation is a first for me and is a fascinating feature as in the bluetooth cell phone feature which is a must option in my view. This is a great road and highway vehicle; it comes close to handling as well as my 2004 40th Anniversary Porsche 911 coupe with short shifter, sport exhaust and H&R springs. The AWD with snows makes for year-round fun in the northeast. In short, worth the $$.

Favorite Features

6 speed tiptronic with "paddles"; navigation; Bose sound with Sirius radio

Suggested Improvements

Re-do interior to match A6.

Audi Rocks

2007 Audi S4 quattro 4dr Sedan AWD (4.2L 8cyl 6M)

Review

Such a fun car to drive. Mysteriously fast, but you don't feel it because of the quietness inside. The build quality is bar none. Rock solid smoothness and handling. At first I didn't like the sirius/navigation/radio controls because I missed having buttons to push to change stations. Having now used the wheels on the steering wheel, I find it much easier and less distracting then those old push buttons. One downside of this marvelous machine is its gas mileage. Audi needs to address this issue.

Favorite Features

Has to be the Recaro leather seats, and the short throwing smooth operation of the manual transmission. And I cannot fail to mention the build quality.

Suggested Improvements

As I mentioned, Audi needs to improve gas mileage in their V8 models.
