Despite all of the cosmetic and minor functionality issues this car runs like silk. Purchased this car 7 years ago for our oldest Son it has been subsequently sold to the other 2 younger Sons. Never in an accident while in the possession of those Sons we originally went through the entire cooling system as it was a NJ car with a lot of rust on the cooling manifold.  Went through the entire system and replaced the manifold and all hoses, radiator, and water pump with all new parts right down to the clamps on the hoses.  Then we took it to the Audi dedicated independent mechanic and told him to go from front to back to replace anything that needed replacement for functionality. 


The we had the car detailed and Teflon-ed on the outside before giving it to the oldest Son who lived and attended college in Colorado Springs- which can have brutal weather at times.  Anything it needed for functionality I or my Sons replaced or paid a professional to replace. Recently my youngest Son replaced the subplates that hold the tail light bulbs.  Pretty meticulous. 

Tires will have to be replaced somewhere between 5000-10000 miles depending on where you live.  The car recently went in to the Mechanic to determine whether it needed a new head gasket but was found to have a leaking assembly plate and a slightly worn water pump (which then in my opinion, a water pump that needs replacing) soooo.... a new water pump, belt tensioner, timing belt (best to replace when it is all apart), and new lower hoses. Synthetic oil change has just been performed and a K&N filter has been in the car for a few years. Replaced the rear muffler within the last year.      

My second Son bought the rims for the car and had the window tinted.  He took my advice and bought 5 rims and tires so the spare matches the others.  

Really this car is still striking from a distance though it is  showing its age. The paint is still very strong with no rust issues (we deionized the underside of the car when we first received it and occasionally still do now) but the pinstripe needs to be taken off as it is tired and partially off now.  A perfect car for a kid living in a place that gets real weather.  Has a Bose factory stereo (w/functional cd changer) that needs one speaker fixed (right rear-easy access). AM/FM not sure about but I believe FM works and my boys used a MP3 broadcaster for their Ipods (the cigarette lighter works) We have over the years replaced all of the reservoirs containing fluids, that bugs me when you can't see the condition...  

Heated seats, though the leather on the front seats either need to be fixed or at the very least covered as the leather is really torn on the driver's side and the passenger side has a 1 inch tear.  

Transmission and engine are unusually silky for ANY car with over 80,000 miles on it.  Just runs down the road like silk and I almost can't imagine it better than when it was new, for $38000! Handling in bad weather is surreal for traction and it feels like it runs on rails.

That is the rundown... It's as honest as I can recall and I  might just give it away unless someone buys it. Donated the car is worth probably $1000 in net writeoff but worth $2500 and I just put $800+ in to it in the last month and it really should go to someone who was in the situation that I was in when I first bought it.  If you have a heat gun and a couple of hours and $200 after you spent the $1000 to $1600 to buy this thing I believe that you will come away with a pretty darn good car...

2017 Audi S4 First Drive

Wed, Jul 20 2016

For all its power and easy performance, the best thing about the last Audi S4 was its uncanny ability to act like a normal (but very high-spec) A4 for most of its life. Then, when you needed or wanted a bit more speed or a bit more grip, you pushed a button or opened the tap and it became something else. It became a thing with more grip, more poise, more focus, and more gristle, but the changeover between the two S4 characters was seamless. That doesn't seem to be the case with the new one. The latest, B9 A4 has been well received and is probably the best mid-sized premium car out there, so that should have left the S4 a simple job to become the best warmed-up premium mid-sizer. It hasn't quite happened like that. The spec sheet suggests the S4 should come out on top in the fight with the BMW 340i and the Mercedes-AMG C43, but the numbers aren't everything. The engine seems impressive on paper; the all-new EA838 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 was jointly developed with Porsche (and it's closely related to Porsche's next V8, with which it will share non-internal bits like the camshaft chain). The 60-degree V6 weighs 31 pounds less than the old S4's supercharged V6, and it's replete with variable valve timing and lift, centrally mounted fuel injectors, and both direct and indirect fuel injection. That gives it 354 horsepower at 5400-6400 rpm (up 6.5 percent) and 369 pound-feet of torque from 1,370 to 4,500 rpm. That gives it a peak 44 lb-ft higher than the old one, spread across a band 600 revs broader. At 2,000 rpm, where drivers live every traffic light, it has another 74 pound-feet. That's enough motivation to move to 62 mph in 4.7 seconds. There's a new all-wheel-drive system that usually shoots 60 percent of the torque to the back but can ramp that up to 85 percent when it needs to, or it can swing it around to fire more than 70 percent to the front axle. The category benchmarks suggest turbocharged 3.0-liter gasoline sixes are the thing to have, with the Mercedes-AMG C43 using one, the 340i BMW having one (though it's straight), and Maserati's Ghibli also using one. The oddball is Jaguar's XE S, which uses a supercharger. You know, like Audi just ditched. The S4 trumps all but the C43 on power (the nine-speed Benz has 362 hp). While it ties the Ghibli for torque, it again trails the Benz (by 15 lb-ft) though its torque peak hits far earlier (the Benz waits until 2,000 rpm).
