It is true, the S4 has a 60% bias to the rear wheels. You can check that at the Audi website.

Debating trading in my 645ci convertible for an S4 cabriolet. Any opinions on how the two cars will differ, or what to do. Advice would be great. Thanks. Replies to this message: esf (Oct 25, 2006 5:58 pm)
#941 of 970 Should I purchase a used S4 Wagon? by vsroman Sep 20, 2006 (6:02 am)
My X3 goes off-lease in April and I'm trying to come up with some options for my winter/bad weather driver. I'm considering an 01/03 S4 Wagon 30-50K mileage range. I would only buy one w/ext warranty. Even so, I'm worried as to how much time it will spend in the shop...   Comments from 01-03 S4 owners on reliability would be much appreciated...also, do most owners put All Seasons or switch to winter tires for the snow...   Thanks!   PS. I know an S4 may be a bit much as a winter driver but I do have speed issues in cold weather too...

Replying to: farazali (Oct 13, 2005 7:30 pm) I have a 2005 S4 cab and just hit 23000 miles. It is a daily commuter car in the DC area. I travel about 70 miles a day and the car has been awesome. We haven't had much snow and mine is garaged so I can't comment on your first question. As to the other, the ride is firm but not harsh. The roads here are bad but the car has been bulletproof. I've traded from an M3 and a Z4 so I do know what harsh rides are. I did switch the OEM tires to ultra high performance all seasons and have had no trouble with weather. I average between 18-20 miles today on my normal commute. Even on road trips, I've never done much better than 23 or so. Hope this helps Replies to this message: 997 (Oct 23, 2006 4:32 am) esf (Oct 25, 2006 6:04 pm) reality2 (Jan 01, 2007 7:54 pm)

Replying to: trout818 (Oct 21, 2006 6:59 am) Hello, I'm a new member and haven't owned an Audi before. I'm ready to pull the trigger on an 07 S4 Sedan today or tomorrow. I would appreciate any opinions and/or advice regarding the car. My concerns are: Is the car reliable? How bad IS gas mileage? Resale? When will the next S4 come out? What should I pay on a clean deal? And, lastly, fun factor. I've owned E46 M-3's, a 997 carrera and turbo, so I have experience with other performance cars. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Replying to: quattroporte12 (Aug 09, 2006 9:08 pm) I would. I own an S4 Cabriolet, and the car is simply fabulous. The interior is flawless (I recommend getting it close to loaded), the exterior is timeless, and the performance is creamy smooth. It also offers the winter versatility of quattro. Would you be getting the updated '07 model, or an '05-'06? I have an '05, in Sprint Blue. The color is unbelievably beautiful. Must see to believe. When I ordered it in my color, I was concerned it would be too loud, but I still took the risk. I now think it's the only color to get- I haven't gotten tired of it and it still turns heads.   '06 Audi A3 2.0T DSG • '05 Audi S4 Cabriolet • '04 Lexus RX330

Replying to: 997 (Oct 23, 2006 4:32 am) It's a lot more fun than you might expect. It can trounce M3s on the highway, has great torque reserves, and an almost opulent interior.   Reliability depends on how you maintain your cars. If you thrash them around, it won't hold up any worse than a BMW, but I try to keep mine in mint condition, so I haven't had a single problem (I've owned it for a year and a half).   Gas mileage is pretty bad if you drive hard. Expect 15-17mpg in the city and 17-20 on the highway.   Resale is okay. Not terrible. Mine is still worth about $46K. Bought it for $63K back in April of '05.   Payment depends on the dealer more than not. Don't let them ask $2K over sticker or more.   And by the way- get it in Sprint Blue. Here's a picture of my Sprint Blue Cabriolet:   /Users/quattro91292/Pictures/iPhoto Library/2005/06/23/IMG_0617.JPG   '06 Audi A3 2.0T DSG • '05 Audi S4 Cabriolet • '04 Lexus RX330 (soon to be replaced)

#947 of 970 S4 rendered useless? by dhamilton Jan 01, 2007 (2:03 pm)
Any Audi fans out here feel like the S4 has been passed up by the BMW 335 for value, acceleration, and pretty good handling? I feel like Audi needs to make a move at some point to increase the performance of the S4, or the A4 significantly, or risk being irrelevant in the segment.

Replying to: 997 (Oct 23, 2006 4:32 am) Good choice. The S4 is "Highly Recommended" by Consumer Reports. I used to own a 2004 S4 and never had any problems, but what a fun car to drive.
