8cyl/4 season/ 2+2 convertible to beat

The most reasonably priced 8cyl/4wd/4 season 2+2 convertible for snow covered Northeast states; there is no other convertible in this class that can claim this. Excellent fit and finish by coach builders from Karmann, Germany. This car is almost like a hand made jewel for this price range.

Elegant, yet pugnacious

A beautiful car that can blow a 645 off the line. Okay, maybe it can't beat an M3 off the line but in my opinion it's better looking, you get AWD, it has an automatic for traffic and pedals when you want to shift manually, a much sweeter exhaust sound...not to menton a much better ride. My 911 has sat in the garage since I bought the S4.The only bummer is the gas mileage.

I Love This Car

I have had so many compliments on this car. I've been stopped in parking lots with people asking me about it because it looks so good. And it drives equally well. The backseat has room for 2. It's much roomier and more comfortable than any other convertible we've seen. I've never been much of a 'car person', but I LOVE THIS CAR!

My 2005 Audi S4 Cabriolet is my third Audi to date. I used to be a BMW fanatic, but after I test drove my first A4 2.8 Quattro, I just had to trade in my BMW 325iC -- and I never looked back. I have considered the S4 for quite some time. So I said enough with the 'considering' and it was time I got into one. I'm more than glad I did! What a fun car to drive. It has excellent handling, like every Quattro model, enough power, and that V8 engine feels light. It has great smooth lines. It doesn't look intimidating, but yet its looks can be deceiving because of what's under the hood. The bad stuff -- as always, there is not a whole lot of room in the back. But for now, my 5-year old daughter loves it with the top down, and so do I!

The best handling car I have ever driven. The powertrain let's you do anything you want. At 2,000 miles the engine really opens up and becomes even more impressive. The adaptive transmission in the automatic really adapts to how you are driving, hit the gas and you're gone. I found a little hesitation of the line, but if you put it in sport mode and turn off the esp traction control, it more than solves the problem. With the top down the stereo adapts with road noise and is a lot of fun. The three layered top sounds as quite as a coupe with the top up. The two doors make it difficult to fit 4, but I don't have to ride back there so I don't care. The car is worth it!!!!!!!
