Autoline Reviews

The Audi S4 seem like compete with bigger engined models of the rivals like Merc Benz and BMW (their cars like the C 350 Sport and 335i M Sport). Audi S4 is also a six-cylinder like the rival cars. the 3.0 litre V6 gives Audi S4 pace and power to perform better than its predecessor.

Some beautiful features of Audi S4

• Audi’s Drive Select system incorporates a sports active differential. It’s key to the way the S4 drives, apportioning power to the outside rear wheel in a corner and making the four-wheel drive S4 feel like it’s rear driven.
• On a wet track with the stability and traction control systems switched off the S4 can be driven like its rear-wheel drive rivals.
• The S4 reveals a beautifully balanced chassis that’s supremely benign on breakaway and very controllable to slide.
• On the road with all the electronic systems turned on it grips hard, turns quickly and rides with real composure.
• The engine might be lacking a few cylinders over its predecessor but it’s certainly not slow, the linear power delivery and free-revving nature allied to the sonorous engine note making it very enjoyable indeed.
• Audi offers the S4 with either a six-speed manual or a seven-speed twin-clutch automatic. The auto is actually more economical than the manual, though clever as the auto is the manual is a sweet shifter and allows you to engage more with the S4′s abilities.

Price tag: Around £38-40,000 for the S4 with the trick differential and a few other choice options.
