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.

Pros:
  • Broad power band, fast and confident in the turns, high-quality materials and attractive cabin design.
Cons:
  • Small backseat, priced close to more established rivals.

  • Eager Power - Needs more fun-to-drive. - 2004 Audi S4
    By -

    Great ride - Im a 4X BMW and former TT (225hp) owner. Love the power, stealth and sound. Went to Audi after BMW Banglized and moved the clutch release point to top of throw. The S4 borders on a true drivers car. A very stable platform, wonderful, thrilling, power and great sounds. But misses on the fun-to-drive factor. AWD? - the thrill of the corner is not there. Almost oh-hum. Theres a corner on my way home that takes skill to traverse at speed. 528i-76 mph (thrilling), TT- 82 MPH (fun), S4-88 MPH stock rubber, 92 with better rubber - but no thrill. Seems like I live at the gas pump. Why do Audis have to be reprogrammed for keybob actuation of windows remote up/down.

    Beat you on the track or on the way to Squaw Valley. Great for Urban driving as well as interstate cruises and backroad burning. Only design flaw: Failure of interior light dimmer to work sufficiently!

  • S4 Pure Fun ZOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM - 2004 Audi S4
    By -

    This is an incredible ride. My first Audi but not my last. I was amazed at the handling. The (4.2L V8) 340 hp and 18/8 wheels matched with the AWD make for unbeliveable handling. Honest 0-60 in 5 seconds. The steering is so responsive it takes some practice. The fit and finish of both the interior and exterior are amazing.

  • Bought it used - 2004 Audi S4
    By -

    Have only had the car (2004 S4 sedan) for a few weeks, but I love it so far! I bought it used with high mileage for a 1 year old car. But it runs great, and as every other owner has said, lots of fun to drive, extra power in all gears, and 4WD to boot. I test drove a BMW 330xi, but compared to the 330ci it just didnt seem to have the same power. A better comparison to the S4 would be the M3xi -- oh, but theres no such thing! )

  • This Cab is perfect!! - 2004 Audi S4
    By -

    I have owned the cabriolet for a month now and I must say that it has far surpassed my expectations. The inside of the cabin is just beautiful. The car gets long glances all the time - on the highway, in parking lots, etc. Once you tune the sound system properly, it sounds amazing (the subpar sound had me worried for a while). Power is superb and visibility is not that bad for a Cab. Mileage can be poor if your foot is made of lead, but easy acceleration brings it back to average. But wheres the fun in that!!!

  • My S4 - 2004 Audi S4
    By -

    My 2004 Audi S4 is a great car! I had a 2000 S4 for four years and 50,000 without experiencing any problems. It was fun to drive all year long. The 2004 is even better. Everything has been improved.

  • yessir thats my baby - 2004 Audi S4
    By -

    Sometimes I believe my S4 leaves the road and soars through the air! It glides around corners, stops on a dime and is always willing to go faster than I am. It is beautiful and I still get excited everytime I slip in behind the wheel. Taking the top down on the freeway is wonderful. Sometimes I feel guilty about the as milage...but, well, what can I say, Im in LOVE!

  • A RUSH TO DRIVE THE 2004 S4 - 2004 Audi S4
    By -

    I looked around for a hi-power engine stuffed in a small car. The M3 came only in 2 door/stick shift and the AMG didnt have the sporty looks and ride. The S4 has awesome power. I can hardly touch the gas pedal and this baby leaps forward. Cornering is easy to stick as all 4 wheels deliver gobs of power to the road. The ride is stiff (I prefer in a performance car) but so stable and smooth. This car doesnt wake up until at least 80 mph+ and it rides better as you go faster. Have had the S4 to 140 mph out in the country and felt like more power was available. Recaro seats are comfy for long rides. And of course, the rumble of the pipes catches the attention of folks nearby. Awesome car!!!

    The S4 is the most fun car I have ever driven The engine is a beast, with power through the entire range. I chose between the S4 and an M3, Ive never looked back.
