Superb Sleeper Sedan ...

The S4 goes like a bullet train - has prodigious grip, incredible high speed stability, corners like its on rails, very fast and linear power delivery. Just like a Subaru WRX STi, but without the boy racer image and better build quality. Also has low profile looks - literally re-defines the term "wolf in sheep's clothing". The S4 also has a true "Jekyl & Hyde" character, can be nice one minute and a total beast the next minute. I'm still not sure why anyone would prefer a RWD over an AWD, especially when grip, stability and handling is important to piloting a ultra high performance sedan/coupe. I can see why FWD is inferior to an AWD/RWD, but RWD to AWD?

I traded my 2000 s4 twin turbo for this v-8 model and WOW. It handles great and accelerates great. I thought they couldn't improve on the '00 model, but was I wrong. What an upgrade! Drive this and it sells itself.

Audi S4 review

2005 Audi S4 Avant quattro AWD 4dr Wagon (4.2L 8cyl 6M)

I have had an interesting experience with my leased 2005 S4 Avant. After one day with the car I noticed a large oil leak under it. To make a long story short, the car had a bad gasket, my dealer repaired the problem and Audi of America compensated me for the headache. Otherwise the car has been a joy todrive and I love this vehicle.

We were so excited when we got our new S4, we almost jumped for joy! It's a beautiful, luxurious performance cabriolet, and it's cheaper than an M3 convertible and waaaaaaaay cheaper than a CLK55 AMG cabriolet. And, it has the bullet-proof quattro!

A fun car to drive. The quattro is awesome and adds much performance. This car is as much fun in snow as it is with the top down in summer. Great handling in ALL weather conditions. I think that Audi is improving its customer service but it is not yet as good as Lexus or Mercedes. You will need to soon replace the standard performance tires that come with the car. I recommend getting all weather tires to rotate onto the car in winter for both performance and economy. Tiny trunk if you put the top down. The cars interior has very little storage. The drink holders are awful; expect a spill. Tiny rear seat; not comfortable for adult. However, overall, I like the car, drives great, and it is fun!
