Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Broad power band, fast and confident in the turns, high-quality materials and attractive cabin design.
Cons
- Small backseat, priced close to more established rivals.
What’s new
The all-new S4 sports some serious hardware, not the least of which is a 4.2-liter V8 bristling with 340 horsepower. A convertible body style has been added to the lineup.
Edmunds says
Though not quite as enthralling as BMW's frenetic M3, the S4 still offers entertaining performance along with a more livable personality.

4.25 out of 5 starsAC_SOCAL, 05/05/2010
2004 Audi S4 quattro AWD 4dr Sedan (4.2L 8cyl 6M)
Pros : Performance is awesome, one of the best looking sport sedans , interior is spacious, sound system is great, fully loaded with options, very nice seats. Cons: 1) very poor reliability! So far : bearings, engine cover gaskets, coils, light sensors, seat warmers wiring, clutch!, control arm. I was not expecting that many issues with a car that I take good care of and I hardly … overdrive it! Good thing all were covered by extended warranty. 2) MPG : 14 to 15 3) Front heavy due to engine weight I am reluctant to buy another Audi, although the S5 is hard to resist. I owned 328i BWM for 5 yrs I did not have any problems until around 100K miles,I started having problems with S4 at 30K mi
Love my new S4 Cabrio
4.75 out of 5 starsKenSchwartz, 06/07/2004
2004 Audi S4 quattro AWD 2dr Cabriolet (4.2L 8cyl 6A)
This car is quick off the line with
true appeal on turns. The SMG paddle
shifters give the control of a stick
without the annoyance of a clutch in
traffic. Stereo is clear, seats are so
comfortable. This thing is just great
in turns and loves to jump off the line.
I had a 1999 Corvette and I like this
more - can't believe I'm saying this.
Mine- brilliant red with … silver/wood
interior.
This One Does it All
5 out of 5 stars1st Audi Man, 10/11/2010
2004 Audi S4 Avant quattro AWD 4dr Wagon (4.2L 8cyl 6M)
This is the perfect car if you don't want to be seen in a "sports car". Not to mention, you can haul a few kids along the way as well. Although it is not as athletic as a Cayman, it will easily blow away your expectation as to what a grocery hauler can do. It has the class inside and out as you'd expect from an Audi. The 4.2L V8 is a battle-tested dynamo in the lineup. Sure, you can … complain about the mileage, but don't buy this car if that's on the top of your list - high performance is what it is. Although we haven't used it to tow anything, it is our do it all car anytime of the year. If you can find one (sedan or wagon), jump on it, you will be happy
yessir that's my baby
4.88 out of 5 starsSharon, 02/13/2005
2004 Audi S4 quattro AWD 2dr Cabriolet (4.2L 8cyl 6M)
Sometimes I believe my S4 leaves the road and soars through the air! It glides around corners, stops on a dime and is always willing to go faster than I am. It is beautiful and I still get excited everytime I slip in behind the wheel. Taking the top down on the freeway is wonderful. Sometimes I feel guilty about the as milage...but, well, what can I say, I'm in LOVE!
