How Does the 2015 Audi S4 Compare to Other Luxury Sports Sedans?
While the S4 isn't as efficient as the BMW 3 Series or Lexus IS 350, its 3.0-liter V-6 engine is more powerful than its competitors'.

Should I Buy the 2015 Audi S4?
The 2015 Audi S4 boasts a quality, luxurious interior with a premium stereo, and its powerful performance makes for a thrilling ride. It's worth a test drive if you're looking for a comfortable, fun luxury sports sedan.
If you're looking for an efficient sports sedan, though, you'd be better served by another choice. What's more, the Audi S4's backseat is tight, and the lack of a standard limited-slip differential is a notable oversight.
