MotorWeek Road Test: 2010 Audi S4

[@starcloud4959]

Well done professional review of an amazing car, gets stright to the point, unlike the plethora of home made videos.

[@0fJackDiamonds]

I took one for a test drive the other day. Fantastic car. The option of picking between the Comfort, auto, and dynamic settings is simply brilliant. Handling, acceleration and comfort, the best sports sedan I've driven yet, including the BMW335xi

[@4MATICbenz]

That is really one hell of a sport sedan. Love the yellow paint too :)

[@Jack-oz8fs]

This car has been under the radar since the supercharged V6. However it's a hell of a car for the value. It s like an old athlete that still has game, don't want to messed with it!

[@DiaperSNiFFER]

Nissan 370Z all day

[@kam-ic9pq]

that's one fast banana!

[@RegM86]

Love the swap to the supercharged V6. Much more mod friendly than the 4.2 NA V8. Add a pully swap, exhaust, intake, and tune and expect 50+ rwhp.

[@mrmanitoba]

It weird how times vary by so many factors. My APR '10 does 4.2 and 12.6 @ 108.5 and this stock version hits 109 at 13.1.

[@Ruckus9999]

4.2 0 to 60?

[@mrmanitoba]

@@Ruckus9999 yes

[@Ruckus9999]

@@mrmanitoba is it just the stage 1 no pulleys

[@willw1995]

MW hasn't changed a bit.. :)

[@nard1000]

Which is just the way we like it! No fluff

[@MrSaxophoneman1]

hmmm so would replace it im guessing?

[@Towelman20]

this new audi s4 is a hell of alot better thn i expected it to be just think of how good the next rs4 is going to be.

[@bhj1977]

i like the new S4 but I'd rather have the last generation S4 because of the v8. The v8 sound sooooo much better!

[@MrSaxophoneman1]

there not makin the audi RS4 anymore???

[@seinsmeld13]

Thanks John.

[@DualofChaos]

I still wish they kept the V8. I know why they did it, so people would stop comparing the S4 to the M3, but beyond $50,000 a V6 isnt such a good value. Otherwise, its a great machine, I saw a white one at the ATL auto show and its nice, you even get a 7 speed DSG if you want.

[@rockonjar]

kicking my ass for selling mine now ;( I want another one!

[@thekhakiobserver3128]

The 2010 r8 went 0-60 in 4.4 so this car was a beast.

[@cjtskater1]

I want this car so bad :( quick but not flashy, I like it.

[@StreetGhost80]

Why the "Blues Brothers" soundtrack?

[@HosBoba]

13.1 at 109 is a sick number compare to its weight and only 333hp ..

[@knaudi86]

@RickMartin7 what are you talking about? The old 2.7biturbo was in the B5 S4 and the old A6, it was never an option for the A4. I don't even understand why you brought the 2.7 up though? Its a dead motor, Audi hasn't touched it since 2002. It is still the most sought after motor for enthusiasts that Audi ever made but that's about it. The only thing the 4.2 V8 had going for it was the sound and you need a very pricey full exhaust to get anything resembling a decent V8 growl.

[@Alexsered]

hahaha, I always thought this show was filmed in Maryland. The Navigation says it all.LOL

[@ellasOLE22]

how does this car have a better quarter time than the rs4?

[@IKhanNot]

Holy shit 4.7 secs 0-60. If this new S4 is so good then I'm guessing the supposed RS4 will have scant advantage over this. Then again this car wowed me so the RS4 should do so equally.

[@DiscoveryLegend]

keep up the good reviews

[@4MATICbenz]

No, lol. Im guessing the yellow paint remark had you guessing that? Generally-speaking, I can't stand bright colors like yellow, orange, red, etc. but this car pulls off yellow imo

[@dnur567]

I know there maybe an RS5 though with a 4.2 V8 in the future

[@grantmills4184]

Howdy person from the future. I sure wish it got a v8 as well; alas, it is powered by a 2.9 liter twin turbo v6

[@goldendevereaux]

@@grantmills4184 I think they’re referring to the B8.5 RS5 Which does have a V8, not the current RS5 which does have the engine you mentioned

[@grantmills4184]

@@goldendevereaux ahh okay, that makes sense lol

[@BrantFortunate]

wow 0 to 60 at 4.7, i think audi only claims 4.9 on their website.

[@vaporeizied8]

@RayzaBlayz used or a base- brand new with the add ons that make it a real M3 will put you over 70 with the gas guzzle tax

[@ctrent859]

I love this car

[@RegM86]

@jeffzahnd True. But the S4 is much more practical than a 'vette. Being a five passenger AWD sedan means you could drive it year round. Apples vs. Oranges really. The Corvette would make a better weekend warrior. You could build it for drag racing/auto x/road racing. Or you could take the wife/girlfriend/mistress on a weekend getaway.

[@Rcmcgee1]

Agreed! You were definitely right about what I was thinking, lol.

[@PantstofryPWNZ]

@MrPAUL323 No. The S4 is in a higher class than the Evo. I love Evos, but those are for the boy-racer type. I'd take an Evo simply because it's cheaper. But if I had the dough I'd definitely get the better S4

[@RegM86]

@fanmusclecars *Edit* Meant to say 50+ awhp. Forgot the S4 is AWD.

[@MrTONYTONYM]

@gofishing700 When you buy an Audi or other luxurious German brand, you don't just buy straight line acceleration speed. If you are really a fan of drag race, you should get a motorcycle instead. You buy an Audi for comfort, steering precision as well as ultimate safety. In my eyes, no matter how fast your evo is, it is still a Mitsubishi, a Company that is designed to build cheap cars. Trust me, Audi S4 might be slower, but you will sure look good in it.

[@seinsmeld13]

Nice lid Ben!

[@heiken54]

You can get a striped M3 for mid 50s brand new.

[@stanbernadino]

This car would look a lot better in black.

[@Madcatcon199]

James Ham it lookd great in red

[@recocer]

@Towelman20 Except they're accelerating downhill.

[@Ecoteric]

4.9 seconds... wow... that's faster than a G37s coupe

[@skyline44512]

@RayzaBlayz Starts at $47,000. In an M3 you don't get 27mpg highway, a supercharger, AWD, or the gorgeous interior/exterior of the Audi. The S4 isn't even supposed to be in the same class as the M3, it's aimed more at the 335i and defeats it in just about every area.

[@MultiIdontwantachann]

@OlDirty36wutang yea its almost depressing owning one

[@Amidat]

the original S4 was not based on this vehicle... it was based on the 100/A6 and later became the S6...poor reporting.... but i love the car

[@quatlen]

Exactly what I thought!

[@allroadca]

are we in 2010, i thought this video is from 1990 without looking at the S4

[@GoldenRatio22]

allroadca I’m in 2020 and thought the same thing

[@TMS5100]

fantastic car, if only audi would bring over the s4 avant...

[@MrGTR1988]

new s4 is very good car

[@mario1023]

Too bad you cant buy it in yellow anymore

[@gofishing700]

That guy said 7 less horsepower? And he's not pissed? An evo will give dat thing a run fo its money any day.

[@marksuave25]

Lynx no buddy, the evo would get beat....badly.

[@starcloud4959]

no comparison at all.

[@Jesse22H]

Brand new, no. But autotrader? You can find dozens for under 50 grand, 2009-2011

[@enta2k]

The car is wonderful, but the the movie is the most boring car review i´ve ever seen, the dude speaks like he wants to sell a george foreman grill.

[@mediocreman2]

What do you do for a living? This 'dude' has been consistently producing excellent car reviews since like 1980. What have you done to contribute to society?

[@19stealth84]

Thats what makes it uglier than that previous years..It's longer! I couldn't figure that out! And no v8? wow. At what year did they change that?

[@JobeMinacum]

S4 with a V8? What? o_O

[@HPM2024]

+Brendan Kearney 2010 is when the B8 S4 debuted, with the supercharged V6. I wasn't happy about it either -- then I drove one & bought one. They're lighter & faster & all around a better car than the previous V8 S4's -- they just don't have that nice V8 sound. They're also reliable, unlike older S4's. Just an all around better car, that sadly doesn't have the bad ass sound anymore.

[@19stealth84]

Have you seen the S3? It looks sharp and has good performance apparently

[@CBC9019]

The B6 and B7 S4s were its worst models by far. There is a reason why their so cheap now. Its a heavy slow POS

[@RK1FX]

The guy may be a cool person, but his way of speaking about something makes him look like a tool.
