  The last car i want to own - 2005 Audi S4
  By JP - December 4 - 1:34 pm

  I have had a number of cars over the years. I have had the small sports car to the suv ... and nothing can compare to the feeling I get in this. From the handling to the roar of the motor ... it is all pleasure. I acutally like driving in the rain now - thanks in part to Quattro. It is the most fun car I have ever driven.

  A great car with problems !!! - 2005 Audi S4
  By amp_ny - December 2 - 5:55 pm

  I got this car in May 2004. Its a great, fun car to drive but I have several minor problems but the most important one is, while driving between 900-1100 rpm or when i go down gear, I hear a vibration. it sounds like coming from the muffler but it doesnt. Went back to the dealer twice and finally second time, they said that its coming from the drive chain. Maybe they will have to take the engine out to fix it.

  WOW - 2005 Audi S4
  By carlylsdad - December 2 - 12:30 am

  I traded my 2000 s4 twin turbo for this v-8 model and WOW. It handles great and accelerates great. I thought they couldnt improve on the 00 model, but was I wrong. What an upgrade! Drive this and it sells itself.

  Superb Sleeper Sedan ... - 2005 Audi S4
  By jerry123 - November 24 - 2:02 am

  The S4 goes like a bullet train - has prodigious grip, incredible high speed stability, corners like its on rails, very fast and linear power delivery. Just like a Subaru WRX STi, but without the boy racer image and better build quality. Also has low profile looks - literally re-defines the term "wolf in sheeps clothing". The S4 also has a true "Jekyl & Hyde" character, can be nice one minute and a total beast the next minute. Im still not sure why anyone would prefer a RWD over an AWD, especially when grip, stability and handling is important to piloting a ultra high performance sedan/coupe. I can see why FWD is inferior to an AWD/RWD, but RWD to AWD?

  Best High Performance All Weather Car - 2005 Audi S4
  By LJG - November 15 - 7:57 pm

  Upgraded from 00 S4 to 04 S4 and the car is absolutely awesome. Just when I thought they couldnt improve an already incredible car, they did! Power and handling are incredible. The V8 sounds phenomenal. Recaros are superb. With snow tires, the S4 is just as awesome in the winter with snow! There really is no comparison for the entire package. STi is a very different beast and the M3 is only a part time fun car in the snow belt. Add to the fact that you can get this car in sedan, wagon, or convertible and you can pick your perfect car to drive all-year round.

  Sleeper wagon - 2005 Audi S4
  By kevfitz3 - November 14 - 1:18 pm

  This is my second S4 (also have a 2000 six speed S4 sedan) and what an improvement in overall body rigidity and solid feel. The V8 sounds seriously potent and it is. The torque is instantaneous and neck-snapping. A joy to drive fast or just cruising. Not your normal station wagon!

  Ausgezeichneter! - 2005 Audi S4
  By WilliamStivelman - November 12 - 2:42 am

  I bought this car after erroneously purchasing an M3 and owning it for 49 days. While the BMW is a superb- handling and braking race car, it is not liveable for the long haul. Its impossible to shift smoothly. Its ergonomics are variable, at best fair. The seat is fair for a tall driver. The S4, on the other hand, is a breath of fresh air. Its controls are logical logical and pragmatic. Its handling is elegantly sublime, and its power, the POWER, well, its unbelievable. The shifter carves to perfection. The car has a buttery smooth feel. The build quality is far better than VWs already excellent mid- priced siblings.

  Audi S4 - 2005 Audi S4
  By papapushkas - November 4 - 3:28 pm

  I have owned this car now for six months. No problems so far with the exception of the wind-blockers design - very flimsy retaining clips. The engine is superb - too bad that the car is way too heavy, detracting from the performance. The poor fuel economy is due the weight as well. Nevertheless I am amazed that I could not think of any serious complaint about the car so far. I will have to get winter tires/rims for it and at 1300+ they are not cheap but they are essential for winter mobility. Would I buy the car again? In a heartbeat.

  Unbelievable - 2005 Audi S4
  By asantrosyan1 - October 24 - 2:00 am

  Its like a cat - can be soft and purring, can be lightening-quick and aggressive. Im still in break-in period, so I dont push it to the limit, but I am yet to hear the wheels spin. The traction matches that of a Panzer. Some people know what "S4" means, but most dont. Imagine faces unsuspecting friends who test-drive your "new Audi" :))

  The best all year round car - 2005 Audi S4
  By lig - October 23 - 2:00 am

  This is by far the perfect all year round vehicle. The 340hp pulls you courteosy a 4.2l v8. I came from an 01 s4 to the 05 and there is a dramatic improvment all throughout. Handling is like a knife, acceleration is scary, interior is very smartly designed with everything in easy reach. Seats offer excellent support and comfort. I have not one complaint about this amazing machine.
