For so many years, the #AudiS4 has always been the near perfect luxury sport sedan for enthusiast looking to get out of their sports cars and into something more comfortable without giving up the fun factor. The latest #Audi #S4 gets a series of updates to address its bland design for 2020. Under the hood, you get nearly 350 HP from a turbo 3.0L V6, #Quattro AWD and a quick-shifting 8-speed automatic. While the #AudiS5Sportback offers more style and practicality, few sedan can match the Audi's well roundedness.

I will miss that audi mmi click wheel with the touch pad feature. I have the '18 S4 and had to drive the 20 model for a couple of days and trying to click on a tiny button on that screen while driving proved very difficult. It wasn't easy to aim while the car was moving... With the click wheel it was super easy. Also that cubby looks lame. It doesn't fit a phone properly.

The S4 still represents the best overall value in my book. This car has excellent build quality, is fun to drive, has a firm but supple ride, looks great, has easy to use technology, decent gas mileage, still has the look of a traditional sedan, and makes you feel great driving it. Hope Audi doesn't mess it up in its upcoming redo.

Sofyan I have to say that I really love your channel! You are so detailed and informative and you helped me decide what I wanted for my next car. I think I’ve been a subscriber for about a year. When I went to buy my new car I actually knew more about it than the salesman did. Knowledge is power. I looked at and test drove (not in this order)Audi, Mercedes, BMW, and I skipped Tesla because I didn’t want electric. Audi won hands down for me. I ended up buying a 2021 Audi S5 Sportback and I’m in love with it! Even though I have my new car I’ll continue to subscribe and follow. You’re reviews and content are awesome!

A lot more money when you lease which I feel is the most popular way to afford a car for most people. The S4 can be actually had for a decent price... The S5, even though it offers a slightly less quick 0-60 and is a little bit heavier, is a lot more to lease - A LOT. That may have changed but back in 2018, the S4 also came standard with more options on the P+ trim than the S5 did at the same trim level.

Plus the caddy was just as fast in the real world and quicker when launched perfectly.

Such a strong offering from A to Z, styling, performance, luxury materials, features & technology. Of course, it's not the cheapest but this doesn't matter when you get what you pay for, the car will retain a good amount of value. In my eyes, this is the leader in the segment right now, heck they even changed the screen for a touchscreen. The piano black is definitely a mistake, no power adjustment for the steering, but those are very minor

Sofyan, the last S4 also had an 8-speed transmission. Only the A4 had the dual clutch. And the cell phone is supposed to go under the armrest, not be in the weird pocket. It actually is nice under the armrest, since it'll let you know if you left it in the car. One other difference: the pano has an automatic retracting cloth that blocks out the sun. It's not as solid at blocking the sun out compared to the manual normal sunroof.

Just buy the Technik/Prestige trim A4 or A5 & with minor mods (ECU tune/ cat back exos/ wheels or suspension) you have more of a performace car than a stock "S" model. To be honest, most manufacturers are doing it...as in water-down versions of AMG and M cars..😤😢

The S5 sportback drives great too and really needs no further tuning and I drive that on rare occasions plus a 991s. I don't like the roof pillars curving inward in the S5 as it leave less headroom.

I own 6 Mercedes, sold two. As far of Mercedes they have been very reliable. I have a 2016 C450 AMG with 16k miles, 2008 C350 Sport 200k miles, 2011 C350 Sport 120k miles, 2009 C300 Sport 130k. I will be getting a E63, two C63 and Porsche. It all depends on how the car is owned and keep up with the maintenance.

Tested the S4 and the Giulia. Audi was fast as hell but like most modern German cars, driving character and emotion were last on the list. Basically drives like an Accord Sport where you don't realize you're always going 90. What fun is speed if you can't feel it? Giulia is far more involving, communicative, and beautifully designed.

Why do people keep comparing the Giulia QF with the S4? Is is that a relevant or fair comparison?!? The Alfa has a starting price of 74Gs compared to the Audi at 50Gs. I really should just stop at the price difference... but this is just mind blowing to me. One is RWD only, while the other one is AWD only. One is fucking loud and the other one is more subdued. I mean, we could go on and on and on but really the main diff is that 24Gs difference. Come on man....

Micro scratches and scuffs 🙁 my only comment is the S3 /RS3 and RS3/5 hold there price great the A4-S4 don’t seem o hold the price well, people either go for the A3 or jump to the larger A5 Great review nethertheless! 😁

@@Hundert1 no overall mileage is not my objective I just want some real time data no matter the final number. Easy to talk about a model when it is fresh if course, but what about things like manufacturer scheduled maint costs etc. Yeah I realize most will lease a car like this but some will buy and have long term payments I would like a cost analysis of those incurred costs which I know is not going to happen. I have seen so many upscale manufacteres platforms on used car lots with say three years of mileage or so or maybe just a year depending on your individual habits, and it is funny how most of those luxury brands have been abandoned by trade-in repo etc just prior to a major recommended manufacters scheduled maintenance interval. I realize the plethora of costs we could go over but bottom line is cars are a large expense and a reliable build is what most Americans desire.... Appreciate the feedback Vell

Great looking car but I would still take a S3/RS3 all day over this. I just like the looks of the smaller 3's over this because I also don't think the interior is all that much larger when compared to how much bigger the 4 is over a 3. Also why are car companies still doing stuck on infotainment screens? They look so bad, I don't care how good they might work. Side note, you wouldn't live in central FL very well cause the weather is like that every afternoon sometimes worse.
