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

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

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

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

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

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

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,
