NO Audi S, $400 alignmt -terrible split tires

If you are obsessed with Audi And about to buy sport model, do your research. I own S4 2018 brand new bought, after a year ,2019, 4 tires splitted and worn completely after a year? which makes me scare to drive and need it replaced ASAP. I’m a lady driver and drive sober like a grandma. They will never tell you Upfront with S Sport models that there’s special alignment, cost double due to a camera sensor $400 and have short life-time on tires- which astonished me when I brought my S4 back for a 2nd recall for services- I was told my tires are split and worn, about to tear - thats crazy. It’s about 18000 mileages. They gave me unusual reasons that most S models are like that!! So they try to tell you to get regular A models instead. (Roll my eye balls) I recently heard lot of bad news about Audi and disappointments from their clients that were there waiting for services- one said engine lights on after bought for 3 days , the other guy said noises after a week. And after 50,000 miles warranty, you will pay substantial for services for parts- ok look at alternative?audi , bmw or Mercedes or porches? Do research. Now you think.

It's sleeper, it bites harder than people realise

I have come from Mercedes Benz to Audi, SLK, CLK and C Classes. The S4 (2019) really surprised, it is reassuring if you want to push it. The stance compared to Merc Benz is just a little firmer/sportier. I like the seats, they hold me in and i occasionally do long trips (last one 5400km over 10 days) the massage function is not super stronger, but it helped. The Drive Select is useful, the modes are quite different from each other. Dynamic Sport is very much fun, however the Suspension is very firm, i prefer the Suspension set softer which you can do in the Individual Mode. I have not had any problems with the Vehicle 32,000kms. This is my third A4 (this one is a S4 of course), only challenge a crack in a thermostat housing (last A4) - fixed in under an hour, so my experience is the Audi's are not unreliable and we also have a SQ5 2020 33,000 kilometres and Q3 (quattro) 15,000 kilometres - no challenges with either of these vehicles. The Fuel economy around town is not great, especially if want jump off the line at lights (i does bite), however over the 5400km trip it got to 6.7ltrs/100kms but averaged 7.2ltrs/100kms that was fair, especially as there were many many Grey Nomads on the Highway with caravans, it didn't get caught behind any of them. (i'm glad people still flash you if there are Police on the Road. Definitely a good car, i thought about an RS Model and said to myself WHY? This S4 is plenty quick and capable enough.

Love the S4, handling, power, digital cockpit, looks. Why would anybody buy an A4 after trying an S4?

Everything I wanted in a vehicle, this car delivers. In spades. It's great for long trips (touring), and when you're on a two lane being blocked by granny, you never wonder if you have enough power, time, or room, to pass. You do. The comfort level is also extremely high. With a tune, it's almost as fast as the RS3, without the cramped cockpit, and room for actual passengers above the age of 12.

The luxury of an Audi with an engine that growls and turns serious when slipped into sports mode. 42000 miles and still looks and rides like new. Impressed mix of luxury, sporty handling, awesome acceleration and practicality. Though keep in mind that service and repair is at luxury car levels.
