2007 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6

Excellent for cruising but lateral support is sorely lacking for cornering. Needs power & memory for the tilt/telescope steering wheel. Good view out of and around vehicle. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review

The rear seat is adequate, but not large. Child seat fits fine, but my son can kick the back of the front seat. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
2008 4dr Sedan 340-horsepower 4.2L V8
6-speed manual AWD
Depending on how tall your front passengers are, your rear passengers may not have any room to sit. Can fit 4 average sized adults, but it will be tight. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review

2008 4dr Sedan 420-horsepower 4.2L V8

Rear seats seem very cramped for leg room. I've never used them, but have only ever dared to take adults on short trips in the back. Heated seats are available for the rear passengers. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
2008 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
The rear seat is too small for adults on long trips (over an hour). And the rear seat can only hold 2 people even for short trips. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
2007 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6

Limited leg room, especially during ingress and egress. Hump bisects leg room. Seat cushion needs to be 1-2 inches higher. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review

HP is generally quite satisfying; however, the torque is nothing short of amazing! It easily compares to vehicles costing tens of thousands more. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review

I am in sales and need the ability to travel in all conditions from dry roads to heavy snown cover. The Quattro part of the drivetrain allows this. The 2 liter 4 cyl engine affords pretty good gas mileage and the turbo adds the guts to merge with traffic. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review

The 3.2 engine has good low end torque - much better than I expected with an engine at this level of tuning. The Quattro system means smooth acceleration on any surface. The 3.2 applies power smoothly, thus it is faster than it seems. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review

2008 Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 Tires: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr Sedan 420-horsepower 4.2L V8
6-speed manual AWD
It's an AWD car, so all 4 tires should really be replaced when one is damaged. Audi says that 4/32" is acceptable tolerance, but I feel like it's cheap insurance compared to possibly damaging the AWD system. This is the only time in your life you will think 4 Michelin Pilot Super Sports are cheap. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
