Easy and safe to mod to over 300bhp.

Test drove an S4 Avant last week.

Very solid. Nice engine (loads of torque).

All I can say is don't believe the road tests, but try each car yourself and make your own mind up.

The new S4 is 340odd bhp, but a NA 4.2 V8 so not easily tuned unlike the older turbo model. Although one tuning company (can't remember which) claim they can still get 400bhp from it with a remap and exhaust etc.

Bit of a stealth machine - no flared arches or exuberant body kits (good or bad?)

had an old shape s4 (twin turbo type). sounds great on paper, was total **** on the road. i hated that car so much i sold it back to the dealer for 2k less within weeks just to be rid of it![img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
avoid at all costs!
sorry to be negative, and one mans food is another mans poison etc etc, but the s4 was probably the biggest letdown and worst performance car i ever owned.it was crap, no other words for it. oh, the stereo was good

I'm looking at similar cars myself - although my budgeting still requires some serious work!

The CLK is apparently more of a grand tourer than the Audi or BMW. If I wasn't so tall I'd go for the M3 but have to admit the S4 engine has got a lovely sound ... mmmmmmm v8. If you've got the budget, the RS6 is supposed to be a bit of a giggle.

A lightly modded Scoob is a straight line match, if not a lttle quicker. A modded S4 will leave scoobs on the track though but not that involving to drive.

if i had the budget to get an RS6 (awesome cars)- i would be getting a porsche 993 carrera 4s......

So no more than 20k ish really..

I was speaking to my dentist yeaterday and when i said CLK- he said ' old mans car'.....(im 24.....hmmm)

Going to audi dealer later to see if they have an S4 to test

thanks people
