2005 Audi A4 / S4 Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by Jim

Interior styling

Audi traditionally has had superior interior styling and the 2004-2008 S4 is no different. Beyond the styling, the feel of all controls are luxurious and solid. No plastic or feeling that anything will break.

Powertrain performance

The S4 has a 4.2L V8 and most people are amazed that a V8 fits under the hood. Audi did an amazing job getting it to fit but the result is V8 performance in a compact sized car. Power comes on very linear and just keeps coming.

Fuel economy

Large SUV territory

Depreciation

Audis tend to depreciate pretty quick when driven off the lot. However, they are fantastic deals if you can pick up a low mileage pre-owned car with a CPO warranty.
