good car so far - 2005 Audi S4
By Rade - March 30 - 9:21 pmonly one problem as the diagnostics computer had to be replaced after continious check engine light malfunctions. Totally solid in the rain and any other driving condition. She loves to drink, but i suppose one should be able to afford the fuel if they can afford the car.

By VW - March 14 - 4:49 pmWonderful car, have been driving it for 4 weeks. I find myself taking the long way home just for fun. For those who want it all in a car that can be driven year round in the NE, this is it.

Creamy Smooth... Perfect! - 2005 Audi S4
By eli - March 13 - 10:53 pmThe S4 Cabriolet is the most beautiful convertible on the road, to the elegant eye. It is sooo creamy and smooth, that I just want to rev the engine in neutral. It is so beautiful, it sounds like an automotive sonatra. Physically, it is beautiful from every angle, inside and out. And it is satisfyingly fast and dominant on the freeway, with the ladies hair flowing out of it. It makes others jealous to see such a perfect convertible. Love it, except for gas mileage!

Audi S4 review - 2005 Audi S4
By Mainhitman - March 6 - 12:54 pmI have had an interesting experience with my leased 2005 S4 Avant. After one day with the car I noticed a large oil leak under it. To make a long story short, the car had a bad gasket, my dealer repaired the problem and Audi of America compensated me for the headache. Otherwise the car has been a joy todrive and I love this vehicle.

My 4th Audi - 2005 Audi S4
By CT Audi Driver - February 21 - 10:40 pmMy S4 is my fourth Audi, but my first with a big persons engine. Coming from a 2.8 V6 and 2 1.8T fours, the performance of this car is fabulous. I loved the interior on my first 3 Audis and this is a natural evolution. No need to change perfection, they just spiced it up with superb Recaro seats, and carbon fiber(optional) trim. Other than that, it is virtually identical to my 2002 A4 (which is to say, excellent). The exterior is great too, looking much more muscular than the A4, but not so much so that it stands out. This car is a true wolf in sheeps clothing. So far, its quality is consistant with my other Audis, excellent.

Excellent Bahnstormer, Minor Flaws - 2005 Audi S4
By Steve - February 16 - 4:13 pmA unique car, if you focus more on content than styling. While the car is plenty handsome, it looks much like the lesser A4 - a car that is some $15k cheaper. The rims, spoiler and aluminum mirror housings help differentiate it somewhat. Looking at and touching the leather, wood and excellent plastics is a pleasure. All controls are precise, well-placed and expensive feeling. I chose this car for its more sporting nature than the A6, the more youthful attitude than the Cadillac CTS, and the extra doors relative to the M3. To my eye, it is better looking and sportier than the choices from Japan and the US. Finally, at $52K, it is significantly less expensive than V8s from MB or BMW.

One sweet ride - 2005 Audi S4
By chuckg32 - January 27 - 3:21 amWow. There isnt enough space in this review to do my Audi S4 justice. I was close to purchasing a BMW 330i w/performance package. At the last minute I decided to look at the S4. There is no simply no comparison. The fit and finish of the interior is the superb quality you expect from Audi. Its very comfortable, yet the Recaros never let you forget you are in a performance car. Speaking of performance, the acceleration is simply breathtaking, and the handling is very sure-footed, thanks to the quattro. The exterior styling is classy, with a slight aggressive edge to it. A perfectly understated sports sedan. The clincher? I got a better lease deal on the S4 than the 330i!

This car is great - 2005 Audi S4
By aes - January 18 - 1:00 pmMy 2005 Audi S4 is great. It has lots of power and the engine is very flexible. The interior is laid out very nicely and looks very clean. The car is a great sleeper. Most dont know what the car is of what it is capable - until you blow by them. The fuel economy is a little low though. The low mileage wouldnt be as big a problem if the car had a bigger tank to increase the cruising range.

1st Audi - 2005 Audi S4
By AudiGuy - January 16 - 6:49 pmMy 2005 Audi S4 is about my 20th new car in my lifetime and the most fun to drive. I carefully compared all the obvious choices and decided the S4 provided the most bang for the buck. It fits the need for superb perfomance yet everyday drivability. It is a little small to get in and out of but reasonably comfortable while seated. It goes like a bat out of hell and the sport mode for the 7 speed auto is dynamite! It is a real performer. Its a much better value than any BMW. My only complaints are the lousy drink holders and no GPS system. Aftermarket is the answer. The auto A/C unit is a little hard to adjust for maximum confort. But the throatty V8 and the acceleration makes it all worthwhile.
