Who cares about the nav screen and radio settings? Talk about the engine, the performance. This car is meant to be DRIVEN. Horrible review of a stunning piece of German engineering.
I cannot wait to see the RS version of this baby. Oh, and I agree with Brian...the beige inserts on the seats look terrible with the red exterior. Why not red-and-black, instead?
B&O is not a $800 odd-dollar option. Its more north of 3,500 dollars or so. However it does sound nice, and is worth checking in on the options box. At least as of the 2012 model it was more. I do not know about 2010 models i should ad.
@kevinmsft Correct you are. I just checked my invoice i got for the 2012 s4. Thanks for pointing that out. It must have been more on one of the more expensive cars that the speakers cost more. If i remember right, the loaded A8 W/ B&O is 5-6k dollars. So the 6/7 models may be the 3k dollar option for premium audio. I do not have the invoices on those models though, and i do not go by the price on the websites.
I am not sure what controlled substance you were on when you said "useless rear seats", but my 2010 S4 sedan is comfortable for me at 6' tall. The only time the rear seats look awful is when you move the drivers seat all the way back. Even at 6', I don't have the seat anywhere near all the way back, it just goes further than it needs to for any normal person.
@jolio3151994 Yeah I was just about to say that. Everyone seems to get confused on the S vs RS cars. But you can't really blame them, what was wrong with just putting A4 sport?
@TheCarVlogger Its because a lot of RS models dont make it to America, or they come last, which is shame so some people get it twisted....i would love to see an RS version of this generation
@MrFrankieFiggz yea, I also think that audi doesn't , make a big enough deal about them. When a new M or AMG car comes out, every car journalist, car magazine, etc goes out to see the unveiling and then write about it for a month before it even comes out. The RS models are just released like their a normal car, even though they're so much more.
@srt4turbo1 they limit it to 155, if you remove the speed limiter you reach the top speed, to be honest idk whats the top speed once you remove the limiter
@chickenshitdickfucks ya but the S is fast and i have one and i can prove it, but its not fast as the RS tho, the S is for the RS people who cant afford the RS
Very nice comprehensive review. The reviewer had the front seats all the way pushed back; which made the rear seats legroom appear less than it really is. The back seats - while not super roomy - are far from useless and a significant improvement over the B7 (previous generation).
@ABSjazz You miss the point of a cnet car tech review.

Holy crap, the back seats are really tight... I don't remember it being so small in an A4 I was in a while ago... I guess it is just an S4 thing.
