Q: I currently have an Acura '04 TL, thinking of trading it in for a S4.... What do you think of the S4?

A: If you got the money and the patience I'd suggest wait till the 2009 S4 comes out. Why? Because the thing will come with a V6 Turbocharged Engine that will output almost as much HP as the 340 HP the current V8 S4 puts out. You can also mod the engine (add turbos etc) while 2007 and 2008 S4 won't allow you too many options as its a V8. However, you won't get that lusty V8 growl =/ Here's the pros for the S4: Classy, luxurious, VERY fast, definitley a head turner and unique (Not many S4s compared to the Bimmers) Cons: Expensive to maintain, especially when you're getting up to the 60,000 miles area. If you want, think of the Audi S4 as a lion, ferocious and classy, while the BMW and Mercedes as a Leopard/Cheetah they're all about performance and speed but no luxury. I'd like to think of the Audi S4 as the perfect balance between safety, luxury and performance. The interior is THE best among the 3 German auto manufacturers and the safety is the best. (The Audi S4 and A4 received from the government the highest safety rating in crash tests among luxury/performance sedans) While the performance is not as good as say the new M3, the car is still fast enough for tracking and average day work. So in short, if you have the money, I would suggest for you to get the Audi S4. You'll be really amazed with it, and you'll never get tired of it... I know I'm not :)
