  • Audi S4: Does a V8 cure my issues with the A4?

    May 05 '04
    Pros: Power, engine note, ride-handling balance, front seats, refinement
    Cons: Guzzler, weight harms agility, would like more steering feel and shorter shift throws, rear seat

    Summary: The things I do for my readers. Someone recently emailed me asking for advice on whether to buy the BMW M3 or Audi S4. Not wanting to get tempted into blowing my savings, I hadn’t driven either, so could not say. At any rate, the M3 is no longer ... read more

  • B5 versus B6 s4

    Nov 17 '05
    Pros: Stiff, V-8 snarl, seats , shifter
    Cons: WEIGHT!!!, nose heavy, mileage, brakes mediocre, weak stereo even with upgrade

    Summary: Well, I recently bought a 2004 s4 with its potent v-8. I own a 2000 bi-turbo s4, which I am now selling. I do have a little bit of buyer remorse to be honest First of all the new car feels slightly faster,but also heavier. The servotronic steering ... read more

  • S4 Cabriolet - Pop Top Beast Modestly Wrapped

    Dec 06 '04
    Pros: Awesome power, all wheel drive, sharp interior, easy, quiet converetible
    Cons: Less than flashy exterior, Eats Gas

    Summary: Hold on fans of the uber craftmenship of German auto technology!!!! This is one that must not be overlooked. As an owner of a Porsche 968 Cabrio & BMW M6 (what a machine!, I recently needed to add a workhorse to my pinball-like work schedule. I made ... read more

  • S4: a pleasant surprise

    May 21 '04
    Pros: Performance and handling Luxurious interior Price (yes, price-see comments in review)
    Cons: Generic A4 body Huge satellite antenna

    Summary: First of all, I would like to thank all of you who actually drove/bought the S4 and posted your reviews. They helped me make sound decision on my purchase. I have never considered an Audi until the latest A4 styling caught my eyes. Yet with pricing ... read more

  • No Comparison to the Earlier Model!

    Feb 21 '04
    Pros: Handling, looks, comfort, power
    Cons: Gas mileage

    Summary: There is absolutely no comparison to the earlier S4. I have driven 2001 and 2002 S4s and I now own a 2004 model. It looks, drives, feels and even sounds better. Listening to the roar of the 340 HP V8 engine is almost as much fun as dropping down a ... read more

  • Certainly competent, but what about homogeneity ?

    Nov 02 '03
    Pros: Audi quality, great performance
    Cons: Weight, price, running costs

    Summary: The previous generation S4 was an excellent car and a huge commercial success in certain countries, stealth looks, top quality, adequate performance. I own one, and decided not to upgrade to the new model V8. Here is why. Esthetics: the new A4/S4 desig ... read more

  • an adult "muscle car"

    Jan 02 '06
    Pros: 344hp., excellent handling (0.9g skidpad), Audi quality build
    Cons: liberal drinker of hi-test, dinky cup-holders

    Summary: This is an all-around well-balanced car that most major reviewers, whose job it is to know, have placed ahead of the BMW M3 and the Mercedes C32. I have the racing-inspired steering wheel-mounted paddle-shifting 6-speed Tiptronic (macho heresy!). This

  • The Best of the Best

    Pros: 344bhp, Nappa silk recaro seats, Quattro awd, classy interior.
    Cons: Speed traps and other cars in the fast lane......

    Summary: What to say about this exotic "sleeper"....... The new S4 has to be the most comfortable and classy way to 60mph in 5 seconds on the planet. The nappa silk leather recaros wrap around you and the 6 speed manual beckons to be put through the

  • A muscle car for adults

    Dec 09 '03
    Pros: 344 horsepower, 0.9g skidpad, Audi quality build
    Cons: thirsty for hi test, dinky cup holders

    Summary: Major sports car reviewers, whose lives revolve around performance cars, have rated the 2004 Audi S4 above the BMW M3 and the Mercedes C32. The main reason is that the S4 is a better all-around enthusiast car. It's acceleration and handling are superb,
