Seriously, there should be a B8 S4 thread on e90post. It's becoming way too popular over here.

And op, I'm feeling sleepy. Just on google and you will find at least 3 or 4. And I think there are no reviews of american B8 S4's yet.

But this review lacks many things. I wanted acceleration numbers, braking , etc. I know it doesn't matter in the real world but it does give you a glimpse of the car's potential.

Hopefully this will give you some bed time reading.

But seriously all any review can give you is an opinion on whether it's worth considering and takeing a possible test drive. Only then do you really get a feeling of whether it will be right for you and no matter how many roadtesters place a car first it means very little if you don't like it.

All I can say is that I seriously looked at one and the only reason I chose against buying it was resale based on the other car that was in with the shout which was the Jag XF, to spec the S4 to the same standard as the Jag I was adding £9K to the £36K the basic car was, so you keep the extras less and pick and chose your options then it's good value.

The S4 in my opinion drove similar to my M3 only with the added confidence that it's awd system gave in the corner, it won't do the whole tailout thing that BMW's are famous for but you will get the sensation of the power shifting rearwards and the tail starting to shift wide, it's only slight but it's enough to put a smile on your face and is so much more easier to control, even when wet. In my opinion it's the best Audi saloon since the RS4 but even the RS4 wasn't as playful.

There's no doubt there will be many reviews as Audi has finally built something in the same price range as a 335 that can be perform at the same level and possibly better. Car mags just love doing those types of comparisons. What I love most is how they try to use a quantitative approach by assigning numbers to each category but give themselves a huge buffer by creating a category called fun to drive or fun factor that absolutely swamps the objective results.
