Is the updated 2020 Audi S4 the nearly PERFECT luxury sport sedan?

My dad had an S4 when I was a kid; it was always my favorite car he ever had.

[@sully3900]

Great review. I have two S4s; a 2001 B5 six speed and a 2014 B8.5 six speed. Both cars are so well built and just a blast to drive. I've had the B5 since it was new. The interior of the B5 is so well designed and timeless with the red illumination and white needles it still looks like it's from the future. For the B8.5 I was looking for an S4 with the manual 6 speed, the sport differential and the B&O sound system...jackpot. Both cars rip through the snow on Blizzaks which is key to where I live. The B5 and B8.5 are also stock...no mods...no need. The S4 is probably my ATF of the sedan world. That 2020 you're reviewing is a thing of beauty and I just might have to take one for a spin. Fantastic review. Please keep up the great work. Sully

[@sapientbudgie5652]

I've had an RS3 and an RS5, but the S4 is the best overall car. It's 30K cheaper than the RS5 and as a road car has better balance. RS3 is an engine inside a small small car with a really low rent interior, road noise and a lot of front end push. Drive all 3 cars and the S4 is the best overall car if you want a fast luxury road car. For the track, you need a different car, but most people don't drive to work on a track.

[@speakingtruths4215]

The Audi A4 is not new generation why would change interior and get nicer designs/features it was just facelift model. By 2022-2023 the Audi A4 get big changes for new gen in design, newer touchier screens etc maybe similar to E-Tron GT that has Audi newer design language.

[@AbdullahHood]

Audi totally revised the Q7 interior during its face lift to the new generation style dashboard. The game is moving on so fast and the interior looks dated even after the face lift (the HVAC controls, the awkward stand alone screen... )
