"Great car! Wanted a convertible that was comfortable and could seat 4 passengers + good looks + good performance. BMW 6 series and 3 series are great performers but lacked passenger room, especially trunks. Plus BMW I-drive is painful. Audi was smart to offer soft top bc it saves trunk space. Can't beat quattro 4-wheel drive for winters! Downside is gas mileage - those of you looking for quiet ride should look at A4, as the S4 has V8 rumble (appealing and fun to drive). Variable assist steering, though lacks feel, excellent around town. If you want sheer driver's car performance drop top, look at M3. If you have a few kids in tow, and want a fun car that can be admired by all, the S4 delivers in spades."

"I bought this 2008 S4 used with 35,000 miles on it. I have now had it for 6 months and put 5,000 miles on it and it has been great. The ride took some getting used to as it is pretty firm, but now that I am, its great. With the manual transmission, it is a joy to drive. The engine sounds fantastic and I frequently dont even turn on the radio. Putting snow tires on it next week and with the quatro all wheel drive, there wont be much this car wont be able to handle this winter. The 4.2 liter V8 is a work hourse and should last a long time. I intend to keep this car for 6-8 years and it should wear fine. Have two other VWs and have over 200M miles on them together and they have been great. Only issue is with my hieght (6-4), no one can sit behind me. Becomes a three passenger car."

"I love my 2008 s4 avant. I have had it 6 months and think it is the perfect combo of performance and practicality. The stock manual gearbox can be tricky with the v8, but if you are into after-market clutches, short-throw gearboxes, and exhausts, this car can be transformed into a four door 911s with about $5k US."
