2010 Audi S4 Review

This car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.

The Audi S4 is a modified version of the A4, offered in a sedan body style. It has a subtly more aggressive styling, increased engine power and a sport-tuned suspension. The S4 is outfitted with a dynamic new 333-hp 3.0-liter supercharged V6 engine with FSI direct fuel injection. A standard six-speed manual transmission and Audi's quattro all-wheel drive system transfer power to the ground; a seven-speed S tronic automatic transmission, including manual gear selection and paddle shifters, is now optional. The S4 comes with a power sunroof, 18-inch alloy wheels and performance tires, Xenon Plus headlights, LED tail lamps, heated front sport seats, leather/simulated suede upholstery, three-zone climate control, satellite radio, Bluetooth wireless connectivity and an Audi Music Interface with iPod integration. An available Prestige package boasts 19-inch alloy wheels, voice-activated navigation, DVD player, Bang & Olufsen premium sound and Advanced Key passive entry/start. Standard safety features include electronic stability and traction control systems, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes with brake assist, front side-impact airbags, overhead curtain airbags for front and rear passengers, and a tire pressure monitor; rear side-impact airbags are optional. The Audi S4 undergoes a complete redesign for 2010, joining the A4 on its new platform. A new 3.0-liter supercharged V6 engine replaces the naturally-aspirated 4.2-liter V8 from last year, and Audi?s S tronic transmission is now optional. Additionally, the previous-generation Cabriolet model has been discontinued.
