I loved driving this car. It was fast, fun, responsive - a joy to drive. The Audi Nav system was far better than my wife's Porsche or any of the MB's that we've driven (her mom's, for instance).

Brake failure

I bought the S4 because it is advertised as a track car by Audi at their Sports Car Experience at Infineon Raceway. After a warm up session, then 15 minutes on the track I had fade and then failure from my brakes. At the dealership the rotors were determined to be bad. I have owned so many cars, 10 Audi's, and NEVER has this happened. According to the dealership Audi USA will not cover the brakes they put in my car. How is it the S4's they have you track at their raceway last but mine cannot? This car is not for tracking since the manufacturer does not back up it's product and treats loyal owners poorly. Truth in engineering= failure to support customers.

Effortless power with the Supercharged V6, can be run as docile as any grocery-getter, but coax it slightly, and it will respond with extreme urgency, all while attaining 18-26+ MPG.

I bought this car new last year, for the first year I loved the car, every aspect of it with small somewhat irritating problems. Wind blowing throw the windows on the highway right off the lot will drive you insane if you are listening to talk radio. My S4 came with the Upgraded Summer Tire package with the Continental Conti Contact 3s. These are the Worst tires in the world, the tread pattern wore out "unusually" after 7K miles, seriously...That is a like 2k option, what a waste, if you car has these tires make them change them before you buy.

This car is fantastic. It is fast and economical. It gets over 30MPG on the highway at cruise speeds. The DSG transmission shifts faster than any manual can. The ride is a little stiff but the handling is great due to that fact. The fit and finish are excellent with no wind or road noise. It is expensive to service and to my knowledge the only common problem with this model is the water pump which is prone to failure. Other than that the engine and the rest of the drive-train are bullet proof. Still going strong with no issues whatsoever. Great mileage and performance as well as looks. Looks like a new Audi, no one can tell how old it actually is.
