Used 2001 Audi S4 Sedan Consumer Reviews
Fun to drive but not fun to own
The car is fast and very fun to drive. The large trunk allows me to use it like a truck. Although, my experience with the car has been going down hill since I drove it off the lot. With less than 30k miles it is already making "creaking" noises in the cabin. The radio has already been replaced b/c of failure. I have the 6M tranny and the clutch has already failed (requiring the car to be in the shop for 2 weeks). Immediately after that it went back into the shop for a week for a failed thermostat. This is the last Audi I will purchase. I plan to sell it before the warranty expires.
I think I have ruined myself...
I test drove some other cars this weekend, how will I ever be content to say nothing of happy with anything that doesn't perform like my S4? It does everything a car should. I even get between 26-27 mpg on the highway- which is were I drive it the most. I love the fact that it is exotic without having to try. I have alcantara seating, I get WOW's everyweek! The hardest part about owning this car, is obeying the speed limit. If you can, get one. You will not be disappointed. Oh yeah-- In a couple years, when my warranty is up- CAN YOU SAY 500 HP ! What a great idea !

Awesome drive
An unpretentious, fabulous drive. A sports car that can still fit the family.
2001 Audi S4
This is a very special and unique car to own. It is a Porsche fighter without a doubt, yet rather stealty and you can bring friends along. It is the biggest German bang for the buck. The cars that are comparable (M3, CLK55, C32) start at $10,000 more and go up rapidly from there. It is quick in a straight line, yet very comfortable and compliant.
None better!!!
I looked high and low (BMW330, MB320, Acura TL-S, Infiniti G35) for the ultimate sports sedan and the S4 was the only car I found without a weakness. The 6-speed makes drving fun again and the car's ability to blend just the right amounts of performance and comfort puts a smile on my face every time I get in. It's the first car I've owned where I look for excuses to take the long way home.
