The new S4

Awesome car. It has lived up to every promise that Audi has made. The V8 power combined with the all wheel drive handling combine to make quite a thrilling ride. The exhaust note is "evil" sounding and adds even more adrenaline when you punch it. If you can find one, I'd buy it.

My last 4 cars were BMWs, including an E6 M3. The S4 runs circles around all of them. Great V8 engine, 6-speed gearbox and all-wheel drive. Beautiful Nogaro blue color with black leather/blue alcantara seats - stunning. It took a little while to learn how to launch it smoothly in 1st gear, but now that I can, it is blindingly fast. 145 mph feels like 90 mph in any other car. I will never go back to BMWs, which have gotten so ugly. The only question you should ask yourself when you go car shopping is "What is the best Audi I can afford?" I hope your answer is "S4."

A V8 is the difference

It came down to the S4, M3 SMG2, and Z06. In the end the fit and finish of the S4 was superior to the M3, and especially the Vette. The M3 is nice, and fast to be sure, but the feature content is lacking as opposed to the S4. The V8 is much more linear than the twin-turbo V6 of the old S4. I am very happy I chose the S4 and have no regrets.

Waited three months, and it was worth it. The build quality on this car is amazing. Everything is clean, tight, and in the right place. The car has a great rumble and is always ready to "launch" - not to mention the brakes are incredible. I looked at the C32 (need 4 doors), and no comparison to quality. The seats are the best I have ever felt in a car. Best four door under $70,000 (AMG E55).

....it would be an S4. I can name 5 sports cars I would love to have. You can’t get groceries in them. Forget a baby seat. If you only drive when its sunny, get an exotic. The S4 is an exotic for every day. The genius is in the etails. The Recarro seats. Cabin storage everywhere but out of sight. A motor that sings. Just test drive it. Nothing compares. A sports car you can live with... put a baby seat in... take a spin around the racetrack. (not in that order) I just got one for my wife to replace a 94 Audi 90 with 199,730 miles (still running strong). I am jealous. If I needed car I would buy another S4.
