My second AUDI
In 2008, my wife and I bought a new A4 3.2 6 speed manual, with all the features. We still love it. After over six years of use with no problems, we began to get a warning that one of the headlights were defective. I couldn't see anything wrong (they all illuminated correctly, it seemed) so I took it to the Audi Dealer to get it checked out. While waiting for the fix, my wife and I toured the showroom. That caught the eye of a salesman of course. Interested in a new Audi, He asked? No just getting our '08 headlight fixed, I answered. '08? Might be time to trade, he suggested. Well, we love our A4 but they don't come with V-6's any more and we like manual gearboxes. Have you driven a 2.0T? He asked. Yes, and it isn't even close to the V-6. I answered. And I really don't want to spend what a new S4 costs. He showed us a recently traded in 2012 S4 in near mint condition and I bought it after a short test drive. After nearly two years, I still love it. It gets about the same fuel mileage as the '08 3.2 A4 (unless you use the extra power the supercharger provides) and it is simply a absolute joy to drive. I've owned a lot of nice cars over the years but the V-6 S4 is the perfect combination of power, comfort and prestige.

A German muscle car, sleeper division
This car represents a Teutonic variation on the classic American muscle car: take a mid-size car (the A4, in this case) and install a larger, more powerful engine. There is more to the S4 than that, of course, but that is the essence of it. The only way of distinguishing it from an A4, at a glance, is the presence of small S4 badges front and rear, and the V6T badges on the front fenders. The S4 gives excellent acceleration with superb handling and ride quality, combined with reasonable fuel economy. It is not inexpensive (especially in Prestige trim), but I cannot think of a car with its combination of virtues available at a lower price from any other manufacturer.

S4 brings back the fun of driving
The S4 is a great combination of a sedan and a sporty fun to drive sports car. It responds well to normal day to day driving and handles anything the road throws at you. When given the chance to drive it in sport mode this car wants to take off and runs the curves like its on rails. I have run this car in autocross events over a dozdn times and ut is a blast to run the corse and try nkt to hit any cones. A lot of fun to drive and yet very reasonable for a daily drive car. The gas milage seems to be getting better as I own it longer. The last 600 mile trip I got 31.7 highway driving 79 mph. Audi has a winner with the S4!
