2012 | 4dr Sedan supercharged 333hp 3.0L V6 7-speed automated manual AWD |
Without question, the most comfortable car for long road trips that I've ever owned. Our family of four took a road trip of ~2000 miles, longest single-day drive was 11 hours, and never felt any fatigue or discomfort from the seating. Seats are firm and supportive but not harsh or uncomfortable. see full Audi A4 / S4 review |

Under rated numbers. It feels faster than the 211HP advertised. But there is notable turbo lag under 2500-3000RPM. see full Audi A4 / S4 review |

The ZF 8 speed transimission is terrible. Mine jerks/bumps/bogs/surges/and makes tons of noise. It gets praise in the press but mine has been horrible. It has been to the dealer multiple times to only be told it's operating within specification. I don't understand the hype. I've had this transmission for 2 years and if this is what passes for smooth, great transmission, the auto industry is in trouble. see full Audi A4 / S4 review |

It does well but the raw power is somewhat muted by all the computers designed to give the car good driveability and manners. If you buy one, look for the sport diff (comes in the prestige package I believe) as it really improves the car's ability to corner. see full Audi A4 / S4 review |

Turbo 2l engine is zippy off the line at lowish rpms (1500+), fuel efficient (although it uses premium), and ample power for heavy vehicle. Good sound control too. see full Audi A4 / S4 review |
