  Very cool - 2005 Audi S4
  By numonyx S4 - June 8 - 4:19 pm

  Even after 3.5 years and 44.5k miles, my recent purchase of a used 2005 S4 is a fantastic drive. The look and performance is awesome. I love the acceleration, braking, handling, and sound of this "tiger in sedans clothing". It provides just the right amount of sedan for my business use, but allows me to have a blast driving down the coastal highway 1 setting top pace for all the "weekend sport cars".

  05.5 S4 4dr aka"D BEAST!" - 2005 Audi S4
  By Barry - June 2 - 3:44 am

  I have owned my B7(chassis designation) S4 for 1.5yrs. now and love it. Build quality and fit and finish are second to none. The nav, XM radio and Bose sound systems are exellent. Im so pleased with the handling of this car, that its the first vehicle ive ever owened that i havent made any mods to the suspension. I have however added aftermarket intake,exhaust and software upgrades. Which go a long way in remeding one of the S4s few faults weight!.At a curb weight of 3902lbs with the 6spd tiptronic,you wont win many drag races against worthy opponents. My best friend owns a 05 comp pkg BMW M3 SMG, and even he grudgingly admits the S4s handling and overall performance makes it a superior car

  Love my car - 2005 Audi S4
  By njsnowdriver - February 5 - 9:53 am

  I have to say that I really love this car. I now have 35K miles on it and it is as good as the day I bought it. When I purchased it, there wasnt an RS4 yet. Otherwise I would have bought that. But at this price point, I think it is one of the best cars in the world. Due to inclement weather I sold my previous sports cars, a BMW M3 and a Mazda RX8. While the BMW was spectacular, it just didnt work in the snow. At all. The RX8 was a dud all around. It was fun to shift, but that was it. It was slow, could not be driven in snow, and it stalled and needed to be towed constantly. The s4 is quick, handles great in snow, & is a perfect wolf in sheeps clothing. I highly recommend it.

  8cyl/4 season/ 2+2 convertible to beat - 2005 Audi S4
  By nick - June 18 - 10:10 pm

  The most reasonably priced 8cyl/4wd/4 season 2+2 convertible for snow covered Northeast states there is no other convertible in this class that can claim this. Excellent fit and finish by coach builders from Karmann, Germany. This car is almost like a hand made jewel for this price range.

  Fantastic! - 2005 Audi S4
  By Punchai - July 17 - 3:41 pm

  Honestly, it’s too early for me to objectively rate all the characteristics. It’s SO much fun to drive - rain or shine. The engine is a beast and roars like a race car . . . people stare and frequently someone will ask what I’m driving. I love all the amenities – Recaro seats, Bose, NAV, XM, etc., etc. The ride is awesome and handling is second to none. My biggest criticism is that city gas mileage is poor (though comparable or better than a big truck or SUV).

  Nearly Flawless - 2005 Audi S4
  By S4ever - April 21 - 11:07 pm

  S4 Cabrio is the most satisfactory car Ive ever owned- it has luxury, stlye, performance, speed, and subtle class like no other convertible on the road. The V8 is creamy smooth, and the 6-Speed auto, although not as good as the DSG in my daughters A3, is wonderful in Sport mode. Interior/exterior are both beautifully made and beautiful to look at- typical Audi. This car is worth your money and your time, and its more of an extremely fast luxo-cruiser than a sports car- this is a good thing.

  The best car ever in my opinion - 2005 Audi S4
  By Russ - April 10 - 11:03 pm

  I have owned Jensen Healey, x2 Jaquars, x3 BMW incl a 2003 M3 roadster, x3Mercedes, a Volvo and a couple domestics. This is the best of the bunch for fun, comfort, driving ease @ all speeds and slick in all respects. And a bargain price for all that. I was on the list for a BMW M5 and luckily took this out for a test drive!!

  This Thing Rips - 2005 Audi S4
  By bcze1 - December 1 - 3:29 pm

  Amazing all around package. Perfect compromise for those who need cargo space and the ability to blow the doors off anything with a Hemi. I ski a lot, and once the snow tires are on, there is no better, or faster, way to the mountains. Also, nobody does better interiors than Audi. Top-notch materials, easy to operate, and everything right where it should be. Its great when in a car this fast you dont have to take your eyes off the road to turn down the stereo.

  Has 4 wheel drive, power, good visibility, and not too many other S4s on the road.

  lil woody on rails - 2005 Audi S4
  By Bobert - November 4 - 2:48 am

  This car rips! After one year, have not found handling limits yet. V8 not torquey in muscle car style but really screams towards redline. Throw your bike or skis in the back and go carve up (and down) a canyon. Bose stereo took quite a while to break in but worth the wait. Where else can you get this level of performance and a stick w this level of practicality?
