EVO Car Reviews: Audi S4

I’ve just done something I have never done before. Which is? Perform repeated powerslides in a production Audi saloon, then more of them in the Avant estate version of the same car.

Shortly before achieving this feat, I learned that this new Audi S4 accelerates faster than its predecessor despite having a little less power (328bhp against 339) and producing a massive 94g/km less CO2 (now a tax-advantageous 225g/km). It will also be slightly cheaper.

Sounds like a miracle to me. Welcome to the new world of intelligent downsizing, of something for nothing. The previous S4 had a 4.2-litre V8 engine as well as the expected quattro transmission, and seldom has such a promising-sounding combination proved such a dull, disengaging drive. Having driven it really fast, you’d get out of the previous S4 and just shrug your shoulders.

That's what I call a hella-good-article. They seem to love the car!

I find it actually the most boring looking S4 Avant ever. Just to compare the predators were so much more "mean"!

Re: EVO Car Reviews: Audi S4
Tumbo, you'll be delighted to know that the reporter was John Simister - one of EVO's most experienced and critical journalists. So the initial review is exceptional. I suspect that the new S4 will carve out further appreciation with the journos and it will become one of the stars of 2009. I can't wait to drive one.

Oh, and as far as Avant's go... this new one is the hottest by far due to its sleeker, lower proportions, shorter front overhang and stockier, wider stance.

Yeah, the front is soooo boring. Disaster. About the rear? Well, there is something I don't like about the new A4/S4 Avant. Something with the roof. The A6 Avant looks much better.
And to tell you the truth, i think that the B6 Avant was the best looking A4 Avant from the rear, closely followed by the B7 and B5!
