by s4sho: Written: Oct 08 '04
Recommended: Yes
Pros: Acceleration, especially mid range power,understated yet luxurious/sporty looks, refined interior, respect from true autophiles
Cons: rear seat room, too quiet for such a powerful car
The Bottom Line: If you want a luxurious and refined ENTHUSIAST sports sedan, but don't want to pay the M3 or AMG premium price, then this is the car for you

I bought this car Certified Pre-Owned about 4 months ago and I love it. I wanted a 4 door sedan that was fast AND luxurious, and for the money, this was by far my best bet. If you have the extra cash, take a look at the M3, but if you want to keep your budget lower, then the S4 is the way to go!! The Quattro system is great, although I haven't truly tested it out in bad weather yet. However, on dry roads it hold strong and tight. The acceleration is awesome, although I suppose it would be even better if I had bought the 6speed. The tiptronic is solid tho, as far as automatics go, it doesn't get much better. The fit and finish of the interior is luxurious and professional. It is very well outfitted and is simply stated luxury, and sporty as well with the two tone Alcantara seats and Aluminum trim. The back seat is SMALL though, that is certainly a complaint. The trunk is enormous, however some more rear seat leg space would have been nice. I also wish it was a little more GROWL and less understated, although some people love it's simplicity. It could benefit however from a little louder exhaust and engine notes, to match it's engine and performance characteristics. Overall, it is a REFINED speed rocket, with excellent handling and an all wheel drive system, and for the money it was by best choice for entering the Sports Luxury Sedan market.
