What's New for the 2005 Audi S4?
Introduced for 2004, it's not surprising that the 2005 Audi S4 receives few changes this year. Among them is a larger color screen for the DVD-based navigation system (when you order the glovebox-mounted six-disc CD changer) and a new center console with cupholders for the S4 convertible. The Audi S4 sedan receives a new body-colored antenna. The reflective warning triangle mounted on the inside liner of the trunk bids farewell for 2005.
Advantages of the 2005 Audi S4:
- Awesome power
- Standard all-wheel-drive
- Select between convertible, sedan or wagon
- Free scheduled maintenance
- Recaro front seats
Objections to the 2005 Audi S4: - Cramped rear seat
- Less-than-sexy sheetmetal wrappers
Editor's Advice:
Last year, the Audi S4 ripped into automotive nirvana stuffed full of V8 muscle. This is a serious performance car, equipped with a 340-horsepower 4.2-liter V8 engine, all-wheel-drive, and room for four adults with a weekend bag for each stowed in the trunk. Power flows through a six-speed manual transmission, rushing the Audi S4 from rest to 60 mph in about 5.5 seconds. A Tiptronic automatic with an equal number of gears is also available. When considering the 2005 Audi S4, think Subaru WRX STi or Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, but with a massive dose of refinement and a look that doesn't beg for a speeding ticket. At this price point, sporting luxury cars rarely get any better than the 2005 Audi S4. With this car, Audi proves it's dead serious about performance.
