  • Kicks! - 2006 Audi S4

    Much smoother, classier, funner to drive than the M3 by far! Real sports feeling.

  • This car is so fun to drive!!! - 2006 Audi S4
    By -

    Ive owned my 06 S4 for 3 months now and I never thought driving a car could be this fun. The AWD, V8, and 4 doors are mostly why I chose it over the BMW M3. The 40/60 torque differential is also a big plus, but note that the S4s w/tiptronic do not have this feature. This car loves gasoline and I average about 17-18mpg overall, but if you can afford this car and you crave performance then gas mileage should not be an issue. The cornering is amazing and the AWD really keeps the car glued to the road. Ive even driven on snow covered roads with performance tires and had no drama at all. This car does everything.

    I am a frequent car buyer that is infatuated with performance and style. My previous cars include, 3-Series BMWs, Sabb 9-3 Viggen, Lexus IS300 - all bought new. I seem to always a reason why I need a new car. So this time I spent a lot of attention to Audi S4, BMW M3, Lexus IS 350, and Infiniti G35 coupe. After considerable test drive, the German choices were obvious for their fun to drive feel and style. Considering the off track use of the car and actual fun to drive feeling for us non-professional mere mortals, the Audi S4 proved to be the best choice. It has been 3 months and has definitely proven to be the best choice from the dealership experience, to its outstanding driving pleasure.

  • Best car Ive ever owned - 2006 Audi S4
    By -

    I have owned Caddys Lexus Lincolns BMW and Mercedes. This car, especially since it is a convertible, is the best car I have ever owned. Fast response. Tons of power. Great on highway and especially fun going through the mountains. Im 6 1" and I cant believe the spacious feeling even when the top is up.

  • great car, not as good as the old one - 2006 Audi S4
    By -

    I have owned my 05 S4 of one year and 15000 miles. I still dont like it as much as my old 00 model with the bi- turbo. If I had never driven that, Id be in love with this. This is a great car for sure, but the 00 was better. Faster, tighter, more torque. This car loves gas, and at $2.60 a gallon, loves alot of it. The 00 was more economical too. The heating and ac in this 05 cant be adjusted right. You either freeze of die from heat. The dealer says its a new system-I like the old one better! Oh well only 2 years more on my lease.

  • Never Loved a Car Until the S4 - 2006 Audi S4
    By -

    Fantastic car! Ive had Porsches, BMW Ms, and this 05.5 S4 is really the first car I really love. Its a great balance of understatement with raw power and fun. Fuel economy and lack of a few technical toys available on some 30k cars are my only complaints. Car handles fantastically. With winter tires, its unbelievable in the snow. No complaints! The exhaust note is just PERFECT.

  • Simply the finest car on the road - 2006 Audi S4
    By -

    I dont care what anybody says, Audi has blown away MBZ and BMW in the worst way with this car. There is nothing this car cannot do... I can go in the snow without chains, but smoke Mustang Cobras all day long at the same time. Mileage is poor, but if you are worried about MPG, you have no business owning a car of this caliber. This is my 3rd Audi, and definately not my last. I have owned MBZs, Lexus, and had much experience with Beemers, but this car embarrasses them.

  • Most practical in its class - 2006 Audi S4
    By -

    Similiar to the M3 and CTS-V except it offers all wheel drive, which is huge in areas where you get poor road conditions. Highly recommended.

  • Luxury Speedster - 2006 Audi S4
    By -

    Awesome car! Performance, styling and comfort make this car so much better then the previous S4.

  • rocketship - 2006 Audi S4
    By -

    I have owned a lot of vehicle and would have to say that my s4 is by far the best I have ever owned. the accerlation is mind boggling. The car handles at high speed better than my old m3. The sound of the motor is music to anyones ears. especially over 5k on the tach.
