Best in B-segment.
More versatile than an M3 and more sporting character than a C32 AMG and S60R...Car and Driver likes it better than the M3 and C32, and so do I. If you want a smooth rocket-ship with plenty of torque on tap for just about anything you want to do, it's there. Quattro handles like a dream and the car looks awesome.
RocketShip
I have been an Audi Lover all my life. I waited a year for this car and well worth it. I was the first to drive the car off the lot and have been getting looks ever since. The car has amazing torque. Handling is unbelievable. Gas mileage is a bit of a burn, yet all it takes is a good release of all 340 horses and you quiclky forget the trip made to the pump. Eat your heart out M3 lovers.

The Audi Beast
This is my third Audi and it so far above the others, its in its own atmosphere. Bought it and put close to six thousand miles on it in two months. Freeways, Mountain passes, clogged city streets- the big Audi Beast (it even sounds like one) handled everything with polish, power and grace. The Recaro seats do an excellent job on nall day interstae cruises or back road burning. The 2004 S4 truly does it all. Just be prepared to pay at the pump as the thirsty V8 really drinks deep.
Stonking engine
I have been totally delighted with my S4. Its supremely well built, handles superbly and is great fun to drive - especially on quieter roads where you can race through the gears. But be warned, this is not just a fast German limo; its a serious handling lump and the drive can be quite "involving". That could mean tiring to some. The suspension is *firm* and on poor roads at speed, you will be thrown around a bit. Taming the vast amount of torque through the manual gearbox takes some practice too - smooth changes are not to be taken for granted! But overall, a fabulous car
S4 Pure Fun ZOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM
This is an incredible ride. My first Audi but not my last. I was amazed at the handling. The (4.2L V8) 340 hp and 18/8 wheels matched with the AWD make for unbeliveable handling. Honest 0-60 in 5 seconds. The steering is so responsive it takes some practice. The fit and finish of both the interior and exterior are amazing.
