Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Power, stability, refinement, styling
Cons: Unnecessarily ugly wheels, starting to show its age
The Bottom Line: Very fun to drive.
If you've read my review of the standard Audi A6, you know I did not find that car very enjoyable to drive. Power was lacking, and the very stability of all-wheel-drive meant the chassis did not feel very tossable. The S4 does not have either of these ...

Pros: An all-weather luxury sedan with the heart of a tiger
Cons: A little muted in both looks and handling
After looking at a number of European sports sedans, I recently purchased an Audi S4, in favor of the E36 body BMW M3. The car is very fast, refined, sporty, luxurious, and has all-wheel drive. Unfortunately, it doesn't handle quite as well as the M3,...

Pros: Best car I have ever driven for the money
Cons: You can't hear how nice the engine sounds from the inside :)
I became an Audi enthusiast in 1996 when I purchased the 2.8 A4 Quattro. After driving it through hurricanes, snow, and wet leaves, I was convinced that Audi was the only car worth owning. When I heard that the 2000 S4 was coming out, I immediately...

Pros: very homogenous, superb overall performance
Cons: addictive
Bought my biturbo S4 wagon in August 99 and loved every single km spent in it since.
First of all, Audi quality is top notch, probably the best among european brands. Material choice, finish, assembly, feel are all above the pickiest...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Perfect all-round sports sedan.
Cons: Watch oil consumption, experiment with traction control
On the up side:
The Audi 2000 S4 is a tremendous value. The most notable thing about the car is the torque curve, which is a broad, flat maximum all the way from 2000 to 4000 RPM. This makes it an excellent all-round vehicle, and a real...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Enduring good looks, reeks of quality, Quattro AWD, suberb performer, solid construction.
Cons: There is nothing comparable to the Autobahn in the United States...
The Bottom Line: If your car does not have four chromed rings on the front, you are missing out.
After owning a 2001 Audi A4 for a few months I decided to step up to an S4. When owning the A4, I thought nothing in its price range could even come close. I was right! The A4 was outclassed by a high powered clone of itself, though. For a small premium...

Pros: Looks, handling, comfort, size, price, power, standard equipment, options, Quattro, and lots more!
Cons: Driver's side windshield washer spray
My Audi S4:
I have to admit that I waited for this car much too long, and in the end, the hard choice was picking a color. The little swatches on the brochure really don't do a good job of how elegant and sophisticated this car looks in any...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Engine, styling, PERFORMANCE
Cons: small back seat
I recently had the opportunity to test drive two great cars: the BMW M3 and the Audi S4. Contrary to my expectations, it was the Audi, not the BMW that blew me away.
The S4 has everything you want in an automobile. It has great styling an...

Pros: EVERYTHING
Cons: Backseats are too small
I bought the Audi S4 after a month or so of extensive research (mostly on the internet), and test driving the primary competitors (A4 2.8, BMW 328, Acura TL, CL 3.2). Having had the car now for about a month, 2000 miles and two fairly long (500 mile)...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Fun, Deceivingly Fast, Understated Looks,Practical Sports Car
Cons: Understated Looks, Small Back Seat, Gas Mileage
The Bottom Line: If you want a sports car that is fun, has power, luxury, safety, and some practicality at a bargain price the Audi S4 is your only choice!
When I was looking to replace my car I had driven all through college and my early days in the job force, I naturally gravitated toward the BMW's and Lexus' of the world. Then one day I happened upon an article in a magazine about this Audi that had...

Pros: engine, quattro, 6 spd manual, Bose sound system
Cons: 6 spd manual, suspension, tight back seat
This car simply rocks!! I bought this car after I decided that I could not be happy in the 1999 BMW Z3 Coupe that I had purchased 6 months previous.
It started out as a statement from a friend online "Don't go test drive this car unless...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Brilliant high-speed road manners, primo ergonomics, great 'Q-ship' factor.
Cons: Small humans only, in the back seat, s'il vous plait!
The Bottom Line: I was ready for a step up from the decidedly sweet 9000 Aero. The S4 is that next step.
I'm a current '96 9000 Aero owner who's dearly loved his swedish luxury rocket. But, as of yesterday ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: great engine, suspension, and all-wheel drive system
Cons: lack of color choices
The Audi S4 is one of the greatest deals on the car market today. What more could you possibly ask for from a car of this size? Do you want speed? The Audi S4 has plenty to offer throughout the entire torque curve, giving the driver the ultimate...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: fast, pretty, great handling
Cons: complicated to repair, questionable design decisions
This is a great car. The power, handling and performance are impressive, as are the looks. The low ground clearance got me stuck a couple times in a snowstorm, but that is to be expected on a performance car, Quattro or not I suppose.
My...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Getting in the car.
Cons: Getting out of the car.
I have to admit that I have had a love affair with my 328IS since 1997. Then, I met somebody new. Her name is S4.
My situation: My lease is up Feb 2000 on the BMW. I always kicked myself for not spending the extra money for the M3. I've...
