This vehicle is very versatile. It isn't the fastest car nor the sexiest nor the safest but it IS the best combination of all of these. It is plenty fast, has very good looks, fit and finish, has all the safety features one could want such as curtain airbags and AWD, and has the ability to be usefull year round in northern climates. What this car isn't is reliable. They are expensive to repair largely due to the very tight packaging constraints of fitting in the v8. Common issues include clutches, valve cover gaskets, coilpacks, tensioner pullies, and starters. In three months of ownership the car visited the dealership 4 separate times with a total of 2 thousand in repairs (warrantied).
If I built a dream car from scratch ...

....it would be an S4. I can name 5 sports cars I would love to have. You cant 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.

Car is an everyday car with performance, although a bit heavy. Glad I bought it and has been worth it so far. No major repairs needed as with the other reviewers and I'm just under 30k miles and put 6k on when I bought it used. Have run it through snow, sleet, and rain and it hasn't failed me yet! I would recommend this car if you've got income to spend on it snacking on fuel every opportunity it can get.

Great "Wolf in sheeps clothing " car. Does not get much notice (except in the know car enthusiasts). Great V-8 6speed combo
Great looker - very poor reliability

This is my second S4 (I had a 2001 previously), and my 5th Audi. The design is great, interior elegant and ergonomic, and it performs great. But the reliability has been miserable. I only kept it for 6 months - it was in the shop every month of those 6 months. It went through brake rotors, had a coolant leak, an transmission cooler leak, the ABS system failed intermittently, and the check engine light came on (bad O2 sensors) twice. Probably the last Audi I'll ever buy - sad really.
