Love this car!

I am on my second s4 after totaling the first one. I immediately started shopping around for another one and at 10 years old, it runs as good as new. I do all my own work such as timing belt, cv boots and such, but if you cant do this yourself, be prepared to drop some serious money to keep it running strong.

Best car by far i've ever owned best 4wd ever

This car is like a truck in the snow or better! it never has go tstuck and performs great. the value of the car has held steady even in this economy. This means 3 years later i could sell it for almost wut i paid for it. I would recommend this vehicle because it hasnt broke down on me and came with a good warranty. It proved itself in some mountain snow storms in Vail and go t me home safe.... all the meantime you get the luxury and comfort of a luxury car! i would buy a newer Audi if i was to buy a new car.

This car is amazingly fun to drive!

Very quick, responsive, well balanced. It's a great mixture of power and control. The sport suspension (with proper tires) results in genuinely feeling the road at every whisper of a turn, angle, etc. Twisty mountain roads become a playground, especially with the tiptronic paddle shifters. Around town or in traffic on the freeway, the readiness to move and maneuver are, if not as much sheer fun, also useful. Put on a pair of all-season tires and this converts to a winter sport fun-car. The Quattro all wheel drive has lightning-fast response to any loss of traction on any wheel. Built-in ski bag (and a fabulous first-aid kit....those Germans think of everything!), heated seats and a can-do spirit take this car just about anywhere.

Most fun to drive

This car is loaded with potential. It has a great aftermarket scene where these B5 S4's get up to 500 hp. I think everyone gets this car to be somewhat of a sleeper. The car looks like a normal luxury car. The car comes with really nice aesthetics. I have the sport pkg with the suede seats. That was a must. There are a few things this car could have come with stock, which everyone that owns the car immediately upgrades. (DTS, Clear corner headlights, rear sway bar) From there on, sky's the limit.

the driver

well for starters the parts and labor are very$$$$. the dependability is good. performance is all good,very fun to drive. the only problems i encounted were the electronices and the sensors. the other things like control arms bearings and tire end rods very iffy. i guess if you like the styling and ride you won't mind spending the extra$$$$
