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.

  Joy Ride - 2004 Audi S4
  By 04b6jc22 - August 28 - 10:28 am

  What 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!

  AWD Rocket - 2004 Audi S4
  By anchorage - May 10 - 1:22 pm

  2004 Audi S4 Manual 26K miles Im 6 250 lbs Male What a blast to drive. I bought this low mile beauty above market and it was a joy to drive. Both it the city where I absolutely rocketed between stoplights and in the city where I flew around curves the Audi never stopped delighting me. I had the manual (which is why I had to sell it after only 2K miles due to a bad knee) which I imagine is more fun. It stuck to the road like it was glued. I never really drove it in the winter so the AWD was only tested in rain - it worked great. Absolutely a joy to drive unless stuck in traffic. I could not make myself go slow unless I was trapped in traffic. I replaced it with a Pontiac G8 GT.

  This One Does it All - 2004 Audi S4
  By 1st Audi Man - October 11 - 2:00 am

  This 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 am

  What 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

  Buy with warranty or be ready to spend - 2004 Audi S4
  By AC_SOCAL - May 5 - 5:41 pm

  Pros : Performance is awesome, one of the best looking sport sedans , interior is spacious, sound system is great, fully loaded with options, very nice seats. Cons: 1) very poor reliability! So far : bearings, engine cover gaskets, coils, light sensors, seat warmers wiring, clutch!, control arm. I was not expecting that many issues with a car that I take good care of and I hardly overdrive it! Good thing all were covered by extended warranty. 2) MPG : 14 to 15 3) Front heavy due to engine weight I am reluctant to buy another Audi, although the S5 is hard to resist. I owned 328i BWM for 5 yrs I did not have any problems until around 100K miles,I started having problems with S4 at 30K mi

  Fairly Impressed - 2004 Audi S4
  By Proud Dad - March 24 - 12:53 pm

  Was looking for a 4 door with some grunt...domestics (Charger, Impala, etc) were garbage. S4 head and shoulders above. This car gets after it. Seats are extremely supportive and engine growl is addicting. Hugs the road and begs for curves. Dont know if I would recommend for a commuter car. Made more for crooked back roads. Best looking car on road in my opinion and its 5 years old at this point! Averaging around 19 combined mpg--and thats with me "going easy" on acceleration and driving a lot of interstate. Like I said, not necessarily a commuter car or a car thats going to attract a lot of attention (a good thing in my book!).

  Wish I had my 01 S4 back - 2004 Audi S4
  By Andrew - October 4 - 11:43 am

  I so wanted to love this car after enjoying my 01 SO MUCH but although its fast and fun, the mpg is pathetic (my 01 averaged 18-22 but I got 33-36 on cruises in the Rockies) and electrical gremlins are numerous. Strut replacement at $2000 is obscene and why water dribbles out of the side panels days after a wash is pathetic. The Alcantara wears very badly.

  Joy of S4 - 2004 Audi S4
  By kc0pah - February 15 - 3:16 pm

  Simply 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.

  The perfect all around car - 2004 Audi S4
  By Joe - September 28 - 11:52 am

  I bought this car as a Audi CPO and only had it a few months but this is the car for me! By far the fastest car I ever owned! Not flashy yet very stylish and gives you the best all around performance. I can pick up my kid from school, plow threw snow and rain, yet take a Porsche Boxster! You start to smile as soon as you start this car up. The rumble of the V-8 is just amazing but it still is quite and refined when you drive at high speeds. The AWD not only helps in the snow but but makes the handling unbelieveable. Even if this car loses grib it quickly corrects itself and keeps you in control. this is my first Audi so I just hope it is reliable because I want to keep it for a long time

  Supercar in a sedan! - 2004 Audi S4
  By jpez - July 14 - 2:40 pm

  I just bought this car as a certified pre-owned. So far I love the car! It is so fast and comfortable to drive! All the luxury I can ever need and fast enough to keep up with most of the sports cars on the road. All with all wheel drive and 4 doors! I can take my daughter to school in it, go through bad weather or run it at the track. This car was made for a family guy like myself who doesnt want to let go of the kid in them!
