The car is absolutely, all around, excellent! I have owned a BMW M3, Cadillac CTS, and Mercedes E350. This blows all of them away!! Fast, Fun, Quality and space makes this a best buy in my book! I love the style, gas mileage and absolute fun I have when I drive it. I read a review somewhere that said don't test drive unless you are ready to write the check. No truer words have been spoken.

Was looking for a daily commuter that would still fit car seats AND be fun to drive. Found it in the S4. I still wake up at 4 am on weekends to go drive. It makes me smile every time.
Almost perfect

This car is so much fun to drive and so quiet, I have to keep checking the speedometer to make sure I'm not speeding. Build quality is excellent. The car feels really solid. The manual transmission is a joy to use. It even makes shifting suggestions. The car has so much torque that I'm often in 6th gear going 50 km/hr and still have decent passing power.
Performance, Luxury and Practicality!

My last car was a '09 A5. I had considered the previous generation S4 but was wary about the fuel consumption of the V8 in the city and wanted the new B8 body style. I enjoyed the A5 but it left me longing for more performance (and 4 doors). Once I heard that the new S4 was running a supercharged V6 I had to check it out. One drive and I was hooked. Nothing else at the S4 price point offers the same combination of performance and luxury. This car is the ultimate sport sedan- step on it and you're gone or drive casually around town in Comfort Mode (w/ ADS or Sport Differential). If you're looking for a sports car experience in a versatile daily driver, this is your car.
Love it!

I have had my S4 for a few weeks now and absolutely love it. The price is reasonable, especially when you compare it to the A4 with S-Line package. The supercharged engine is amazing. Instant torque whenever you need it. Great handling, grip and performance. It effortlessly accelerates you to 80 mph before you can get off the on-ramp! It makes driving fun...even the boring commute to and from work. The 7-speed DSG can be a little aggressive on the shifting at times when you are driving it easy. Dynamic mode / Sport mode is great...the throttle/engine performance is brilliant. You will be hooked upon test driving this car so be careful if you make your way to the dealership just to "explore".
Love that Sport Setting on tranny

This will be the 3rd S4 I've owned over 10yrs and feels the fastest. Still not sure about the big snout but the Audi's tail is nice. 0-35mph around town was disappointing till I tried the Sport setting, now it is much more linear and fun. I love the Sport setting in the city!!! Try it and it becomes addictive. Beautiful interior, great seats, big trunk and 4 doors in a car that can easily keep up with the other German Cars around town in real world driving.
Wonderful Machine

I took what was in the dealership and that included the DSG 7 speed, differential, drive select, sound system and Sat Nav. I would normally have only selected the the DSG and diff, but they all work well. The differential is a must, but the drive select works well with a comfort mode that has a much softer throttle, compliant suspension and lighter steering - I use it around town. The striking feature of the car is the usability of the performance. The car is extremely safe and stable at all times and very comfortable in long trips - no more back ache and numbness. The real world performance is surprising - no sound or fury at traffic lights - a gentle right foot, and the car is gone
Highly Recommended Vehicle

Only 700 chars, so I'll be brief: 0-60, better than: - BMW 335i/xi - Infiniti G37S - Volkswagen GTI 0-60, slower than: - BMW M3 - Porsche Carrera S - Chevrolet Corvette 1/4-mi, better than: - Ford Mustang GT - Camaro SS - Nissan 370Z 1/4-mi, slower than: - Mitsubishi Evo X - Porsche Cayman S - Lexus IS-F Interior fit & finish is superb, and bucket seats are excellent (esp. in two-tone). MMI interface is way better than BMW's iDrive, only the external cables are expensive (why not just have standard inputs?) Brakes are phenomenal, and cornering is breathtaking. Also of note, Audi's 333 hp rating is horribly wrong (possibly due to delayed RS4)

Complete control in any weather with the best tires. Very comfortable for a sports sedan that will cruse at 70 getting 26 MPG. Few compromises in design or function only in price to own and options lacking at $50K.
Best Sport Sedan Hands down.

This car was the most researched vehicle I have ever purchased. I test drove with my wife the I- G37, M-C350, L-GS 350, A-TL, BMW 335 and yes the Audi S4. All the cars were great but the S4 really stood out on the interior finish also the acceleration with the 7-speed automatic was powerful & seamless. The fact that it didnt have much of an exhaust note I viewed as a plus. The ride when not pushed is very comfortable but make no mistake this car is a wolf in sheep clothing when you ask the car to perform it is an animal! The S4 we ordered and purchased is a red automatic, prestige, driver assist, red & black silk Napa leather, dark birch trim and Audi drive select.
Great car

A driver's car with addictive torque - Don't test drive unless you're ready to write a check. The handling is crisp with little body roll. This vehicle has 2 personalities, one that allows the comfort, space, and utility to be my daily driver and a second that has power, handling, and an unbelievable sense of connection to the road...it's almost perfect.

I drove the S4 and ended up buying it with the prestige package, rear sport differential, rear side air bags, and silk nappa leather. Hands down a nicer quality car than the BM's I tested. The S4 is much nicer inside and out. The ride is smooth and the car is quiet, until you unleash the beast under the hood. The S4 handles great and is very fast, I highly recommend this car!
A lot of fun

Originally had wanted the A5. Drove the S4 after the A5 and absolutely loved it. The power is always available, immediately! The car is extremely well refined and quiet but can be a beast when necessary. Mileage is great. I love driving this car... every day. Test drive it!!
I am sooo glad....

I am soooo glad I recalculated the price of the S4 Prem Plus vs. initially ordered Avant Prem Plus with Nav, B&O. The difference was minimal and the enjoyment is not easily describable. This car is simply amazing -- the engine, Handling, quietness when cruising, growl when step on it, Inside is nicely laid out, and beautifully appointed. The 6MT is super nice; I am coming off the latest gen BMW 3-series (E90) and this 6MT is much better (smoother, as precise, shorter) than the BMW's. The S4 seats are much more supportive and comfortable than the 3er with the Sports Package.

Last 5 cars: Audi A4, Infinity G35, BMW 325, 328, 530. Wanted a German car larger than a 3 and smaller than a 5 series. This Audi is essentially a 4 series size. The back seats are usable. The car is flawless inside and out. The A4 was a better value but the sport seats not as nice, engine was a bit noisy at 85MPH with 6 speed. The S4 with a 330 HP 7 speed is composed in the city and a beast on the highway when you need it to be. Effortless power and stability. It is not quite as agile as a BMW 3 that has better weight balance but is more stable at speed since it is larger and safer. Audi excels in style, composure, beauty and in the S4 version is rare. 29MPG Hwy, 25 MPG city.
