Audi S4 Reviews

"Even the sound it makes when we lift off the accelerator while barreling into a tight one at the end of a straight is great music."

"Audi says 0 to 60 mph happens in just 5.5 seconds in the sedan, 5.7 in the Avant."

"Armed with a twin-turbo version of the 2.8-liter V6 used in the larger A6, plus a stiffer suspension and bigger brakes, the S4 is a world-class athlete."

"It has the balance of an Olympic gymnast and the sure-footed all-weather agility of a snow leopard -- wrapped in sheetmetal that differs very little from the everyday A4's."

"Special to the S4 are sport seats with deep side bolsters designed to keep driver and passenger in place during vigorous driving."

"The S4 resists roll (courtesy of 31- and 20-mm hollow anti-roll bars, front and rear), understeers only moderately and refuses to power-oversteer unless heavily provoked with throttle and steering."
