Overview & Reviews
The all-new S4 sports some serious hardware, not the least of which is a 4.2-liter V8 bristling with 340 horsepower. A convertible body style has been added to the lineup.
- Broad power band, fast and confident in the turns, high-quality materials and attractive cabin design.
- Small backseat, priced close to more established rivals.

Joy Ride - 2004 Audi S4
By 04b6jc22 - August 28 - 10:28 amWhat an apsolute joy to drive one of these. I have an 04 with suspension, brakes, RS4 wheels, Milltek exhaust addons. Simple bolt ons, but i wouldnt put this kind of money into something i didnt think was worth it. I am a total nerd/gear head when it comes to cars and this is only one of a few affordable cars i drool over. Its not the fastest car. If a 911 turbo pulls up besides you, dont waste the fuel. But if one of those chump Mustangs try to pull the same crap (again. Dont waste your time and fuel), but be assure that if hes dumb enough to challenge, youll take the cake. Rides like its on rails and screams through the corners. It makes a rumble that will cause earth quakes!

This One Does it All - 2004 Audi S4
By 1st Audi Man - October 11 - 2:00 amThis is the perfect car if you dont want to be seen in a "sports car". Not to mention, you can haul a few kids along the way as well. Although it is not as athletic as a Cayman, it will easily blow away your expectation as to what a grocery hauler can do. It has the class inside and out as youd expect from an Audi. The 4.2L V8 is a battle-tested dynamo in the lineup. Sure, you can complain about the mileage, but dont buy this car if thats on the top of your list - high performance is what it is. Although we havent used it to tow anything, it is our do it all car anytime of the year. If you can find one (sedan or wagon), jump on it, you will be happy

Uber wagon, year round satisfaction - 2004 Audi S4
By admiral - September 1 - 9:02 amWhat a great year round vehicle! Classy looks, classy interior, good handling, comfortable ride, 4 doors, wagon versatility, great power, all wheel drive, powerful brakes, and in my case, absolutely reliable, no problems. This car offers a combination that few, if any can match. Great engineering. Get your M3s out of the barn in the Midwest during winter. LOL

Joy of S4 - 2004 Audi S4
By kc0pah - February 15 - 3:16 pmSimply a joy to own and to drive. Handles every bit as well as the 2001 TT it replaced, and has 2.5 times the raw power. Wifes MB-CLK430 not built as well nor does it have the smooth power delivery. The S4 out corners and out powers it in head to head spirited driving.

Understated excellence - 2004 Audi S4
By Homer742 - May 5 - 4:30 pmIve owned my 2004 S4 for almost two years now (bought w/ 15k miles), sufficient time both to get over any new car puppy love and to notice any reliability issues. Well, Im still in love and the only reliability issue was a balky sunroof switch that was replaced under warranty. At first glance, it appears to be a mild-mannered A4: solid German engineering in a conservatively styled sedan. But once youve settled into a front seat that holds you tight and heard the V8 grumble to life, you know this is no A4. A few corners at high speed and one highway on-ramp are all thats needed to confirm that youre driving an agile machine that carries speed deceptively well.

Best in B-segment. - 2004 Audi S4
By 04S4 - March 29 - 10:00 amMore versatile than an M3 and more sporting character than a C32 AMG and S60R...Car and Driver likes it better than the M3 and C32, and so do I. If you want a smooth rocket-ship with plenty of torque on tap for just about anything you want to do, its there. Quattro handles like a dream and the car looks awesome.

One of my favorites - 2004 Audi S4
By PikesPeak - September 18 - 11:34 amOver the years I have owned a number of fast cars and this ranks as one of the best. I originally intended buying the sedan but ended up getting the wagon (with a 6 speed) which I think is even better looking and a bit more practical.

Never Follow - 2004 Audi S4
By greekaudifanatic - July 7 - 11:12 pmIm 22 and have now owned 3 audis. Loved my 2000 A6 2.7T for 3 years then looked to get a new Audi. Was first looking for a 2006 A8L which is such a great luxury sedan. I test drove a Dolpin Grey S4 as well on the lot and ever since never wanted to stop driving it. Cant say enough about the whole package, engine is awesome and fit and finish as well.

04 S4 -Tremendous - 2004 Audi S4
By RaudiS4 - May 29 - 12:22 pmThis car is fantastic. Surefooted, easy to drive hard, fun, reliable and solid (read, safe). The AWD and traction control make this a serious toy for us "older" kids. And, when you think youve mastered it, turn off the traction control.

A wolf in sheeps clothing - 2004 Audi S4
By SimpleSam - March 28 - 2:05 pmThe S4 is the first Audi I have ever purchased, and it will definitely not be my last. I have been a BMW fan for years, however, the interior design and class the S4 resembles cannot be matched by any current manufacturer. Power is plentiful even at low RPMs, giving passing lanes a sort of GT feel rather than mundane city driving. The grabby clutch did give me some issues during the first 1000kms, although the overall driving experience overcompensated for Audis slight imperfection. My only major complaint is Audi waited so long to bring the RS4 stateside! Oh well, I will just have to settle for the sluggish 340 hp, road gripping, eye catching juggernaut. A tru1ely remarkable car.
