Explore the 2010 Audi S4

!2 Years Later

This month I just hit my 12-Year anniversary of owning my Brilliant Black 2010 S4. Buying it off the showroom floor (something I never do), I traded my 2002 BMW 530i and have never looked back. I snatched it up because, as the author describes, its sport seats are amazingly comfortable and supportive for rides of all lengths. The other reason was because this S4 had the 6-Speed Manual tranny and, as a old hot rodder, that feature spoke to my inner gearhead. I drove it to AZ when I relocated there months later, and the ride & comfort level were perfect! Handling was -- and still is -- like it rides on rails. As for the supercharger, it's simply a quiet BEAST. Nary a sound beyond only the faintest of a whine. And its 60/40 all-wheel drive provides an impressive launch off a light until that silent blower kicks in and brings a broad smile to this driver's face. I baby it more so now, but I still can't help but feel the thrill of taking this sleeper through its gears in quick fashion. It really never gets old. Twelve years on and 140,000 miles, and I have zero regrets. At 100,000 miles, it did require new front bushings (integrated within the control arms). However, I've yet to have to replace its well-made clutch... or the mufflers/exhaust... or the any major internal parts. And the supercharger has been totally maintenance-free. While the engine's rear main seal has finally begun to get a slight leak, only normal maintenance and new tires have had to be done. My original purchase price in 2010 was $51,000 with its only options being: > Full NAV Package > Leather Interior > 5-Tri-Spoke Aluminum Wheels At 12 years old, she looks less than half her age, with desert highway driving not doing any favors to the front-end's finish. But a fresh black paint job to the hood and front nose will resolve that. Passengers frequently comment how great its finish is, and they love that it has a stick shift. I've owned five BMWs (both 3- and 5-series) over the years, but my Audi S4 has probably been the best car purchase I ever made.

The best car I have ever owned

I have the AUDI S4 since 2018, I bought it second hand and it is great. It is a vehicle that moves on Colombian roads, with which I can tell you that its suspension, comfort, tranquility, ease of handling and performance is unsurpassed. Its grip, due to the quattro system, is great and its fuel economy is acceptable for its engine. Its interior comfort is superior, its alcantara and leather seats are very comfortable and the version that I have (gear lever) with six gears makes it a lot of fun to drive. Your response to the accelerator pedal is memorable. In short, an excellent vehicle.

high quality all season blast to drive

Living in the northeastern snow belt and needing to show up on time mandates all wheel drive. For those requiring a superlative manual transmission and 333 easy to handle HP to keep the smile on your face during the bad weather - the Audi S4 is the only choice

Great year round car!

I absolutely love this car. It has amazing pick up and is fun around corners plus its super comfortable when taking long trips. It's a sleeper sports sedan for someone who likes speed but doesn't need to be flashy. The Bang & Olufsen sound system sounds great. Pros: Styling Performance Comfortable Cons: No bluetooth music play Upkeep can get expensive

For the money, it can't be beat in its class

This vehicle is a performance oriented fun car yet can be driven everyday. That's what drove me to purchase this car. Awd is fantastic to make it a year-round car which I what I needed in New England! Styling is party on the outside and business on the inside, absolutely love it.
