I’m becoming more and more impressed by Audi. Style, Cost, Comfort. Did I mention style? Good write up. Thanks Bob
It will be difficult for one to differentiate between S4 and A4 sedans, because there are no changes in the exterior styling except some moderations in the bumpers and grille. I feel the car is smooth in drive especially with the seven speed auto-manual transmission.
