Overview & Reviews

After taking a year off, the Audi S4 returns based on last year's full redesign of the A4 sedan. Like the A4, the 2010 Audi S4 is bigger than it was before, resulting in more interior room. There are also new features and new styling, but the biggest news is that the S4's previous V8 has been replaced by a supercharged V6 that produces more torque and returns far better fuel economy. Finally, the S4 is available as a sedan only this year, as the wagon and convertible have been discontinued, though the latter has effectively been replaced by the S5 convertible.

• Superb supercharged V6, sharp handling, sumptuous interior trappings, excellent fuel economy, perfect crash test scores.

• Artificial steering feel, button-happy control layout, old MMI controller is standard equipment.

  Best All-around - 2010 Audi S4
  By harold_k - April 26 - 10:34 pm

  This car simply has it all. Compared to competitors it has the best interior of any, classy, luxurious, quality. Its fast, but not too fast to use on the street. The handling is superb, traction is outstanding especially with the Active Rear Dif option. It is grown up and elegant, a head turner anywhere, but aggressive without being gaudy and can be turned loose and feel like a pure speed machine. Take it on seriously curvy switch-back type mountain roads and you will realize was this car was born to do. It is the perfect all- a-rounder, not a kid racer and not a stuffy old guy car. It is a perfect blend of all aspects the someone looking at this range of car could want.

  Excellent vehicle! - 2010 Audi S4
  By Larry - June 5 - 10:01 pm

  The car is absolutely, all around, excellent! I have owned a BMW M3, Cadillac CTS, and Mercedes E350. This blows all of them away!! Fast, Fun, Quality and space makes this a best buy in my book! I love the style, gas mileage and absolute fun I have when I drive it. I read a review somewhere that said dont test drive unless you are ready to write the check. No truer words have been spoken.

  Still wake up at 4 am to drive - 2010 Audi S4
  By 2fun - May 29 - 3:25 pm

  Was looking for a daily commuter that would still fit car seats AND be fun to drive. Found it in the S4. I still wake up at 4 am on weekends to go drive. It makes me smile every time.

  Almost perfect - 2010 Audi S4
  By CF - May 15 - 12:48 am

  This car is so much fun to drive and so quiet, I have to keep checking the speedometer to make sure Im not speeding. Build quality is excellent. The car feels really solid. The manual transmission is a joy to use. It even makes shifting suggestions. The car has so much torque that Im often in 6th gear going 50 km/hr and still have decent passing power.

  Performance, Luxury and Practicality! - 2010 Audi S4
  By djs4 - May 11 - 1:33 am

  My last car was a 09 A5. I had considered the previous generation S4 but was wary about the fuel consumption of the V8 in the city and wanted the new B8 body style. I enjoyed the A5 but it left me longing for more performance (and 4 doors). Once I heard that the new S4 was running a supercharged V6 I had to check it out. One drive and I was hooked. Nothing else at the S4 price point offers the same combination of performance and luxury. This car is the ultimate sport sedan- step on it and youre gone or drive casually around town in Comfort Mode (w/ ADS or Sport Differential). If youre looking for a sports car experience in a versatile daily driver, this is your car.

  Love it! - 2010 Audi S4
  By Shawn H. - April 22 - 11:57 pm

  I have had my S4 for a few weeks now and absolutely love it. The price is reasonable, especially when you compare it to the A4 with S-Line package. The supercharged engine is amazing. Instant torque whenever you need it. Great handling, grip and performance. It effortlessly accelerates you to 80 mph before you can get off the on-ramp! It makes driving fun...even the boring commute to and from work. The 7-speed DSG can be a little aggressive on the shifting at times when you are driving it easy. Dynamic mode / Sport mode is great...the throttle/engine performance is brilliant. You will be hooked upon test driving this car so be careful if you make your way to the dealership just to "explore".

  Love that Sport Setting on tranny - 2010 Audi S4
  By BobP - April 22 - 1:29 pm

  This will be the 3rd S4 Ive owned over 10yrs and feels the fastest. Still not sure about the big snout but the Audis tail is nice. 0-35mph around town was disappointing till I tried the Sport setting, now it is much more linear and fun. I love the Sport setting in the city!!! Try it and it becomes addictive. Beautiful interior, great seats, big trunk and 4 doors in a car that can easily keep up with the other German Cars around town in real world driving.

  Wonderful Machine - 2010 Audi S4
  By David - April 10 - 6:30 am

  I took what was in the dealership and that included the DSG 7 speed, differential, drive select, sound system and Sat Nav. I would normally have only selected the the DSG and diff, but they all work well. The differential is a must, but the drive select works well with a comfort mode that has a much softer throttle, compliant suspension and lighter steering - I use it around town. The striking feature of the car is the usability of the performance. The car is extremely safe and stable at all times and very comfortable in long trips - no more back ache and numbness. The real world performance is surprising - no sound or fury at traffic lights - a gentle right foot, and the car is gone

  Highly Recommended Vehicle - 2010 Audi S4
  By JoeLinux - April 2 - 11:41 am

  Only 700 chars, so Ill be brief: 0-60, better than: - BMW 335i/xi - Infiniti G37S - Volkswagen GTI 0-60, slower than: - BMW M3 - Porsche Carrera S - Chevrolet Corvette 1/4-mi, better than: - Ford Mustang GT - Camaro SS - Nissan 370Z 1/4-mi, slower than: - Mitsubishi Evo X - Porsche Cayman S - Lexus IS-F Interior fit & finish is superb, and bucket seats are excellent (esp. in two-tone). MMI interface is way better than BMWs iDrive, only the external cables are expensive (why not just have standard inputs?) Brakes are phenomenal, and cornering is breathtaking. Also of note, Audis 333 hp rating is horribly wrong (possibly due to delayed RS4)

  Rock stable Dual personality - 2010 Audi S4
  By Steve M. - March 18 - 8:28 pm

  Complete control in any weather with the best tires. Very comfortable for a sports sedan that will cruse at 70 getting 26 MPG. Few compromises in design or function only in price to own and options lacking at $50K.
