I think it is a good review - the :hahahehe: for me is concerning the sport diff:
"Response times are less than 100 milliseconds and the result is not just more or less understeer, but a nose that turns in and a rear that tracks to match. You can even four-wheel drift if you want..."

... and a great verdict:
"Match the S4 up against an M3 (http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/Cars/PageTemplates/FirstDrives/Detail.aspx?id=4400) or C63 (http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/Cars/PageTemplates/FirstDrives/Detail.aspx?id=6842) and it won’t come out on top. But then these cars aren’t rivals – better to face the S4 off against the 335i (http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/Cars/PageTemplates/FirstDrives/Detail.aspx?id=6851) and C350 (http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/Cars/PageTemplates/FirstDrives/Detail.aspx?id=4341). If you do, you’ll find an Audi that’s quicker point-to-point. But the beauty of the new S4 is in its understated looks – this is a real Q-car, and a bloody quick one too. Some potential customers may actually find it too unassuming, but we rather like it."


Hopefully the first of many good reviews...

Nice find, and an ever better conclusion. Thank you.

i don't doubt for one minute that the S4 will outperform and be the choice among its peers, the C350 sport and the 335i.

this is what the S5 needs in order to do the same among its own peers. and it will get it soon.

i wonder if audi will introduce the v8 to V6 change with the intro of the cabriolet.

Rumours are pointing in that direction..... :revs:

Great first review, hopefully more will come soon.
