The biggest update for the 2007 Audi S4 is that the Cabriolet convertible gets the gaping Audi grille already seen on the sedan and Avant wagon, plus the standard interior brushed aluminum trim. It also receives some cosmetic changes to the head and taillights and gets four oval exhaust pipes (distinguishing it from the sedan and wagon). A new acoustically-engineered soft top is supposed to reduce wind and road noise in the convertible.
The 2007 S4 sedan and wagon remain virtually unchanged, except for new 18-inch tires. A power sunroof is now standard on both, and an improved sound system will play MP3-encoded CDs. On the sedan, an exterior package can be purchased that adds front and rear carbon-fiber bumpers and spoilers, for a sportier look. All three cars still carry the powerful 4.2-liter, 340-hp V8 with standard 6-speed manual transmission or optional Tiptronic. Quattro AWD capability is across the line. One disappointing change for 2007 is that Audi is dropping its free maintenance program.
The 2007 S4 is still a great combination of elegance, sophistication, and pure adrenaline-rushing fun. What makes the S4 stand out is its versatility. It is practical as a family car -- the Avant wagon and sedan have 60/40 split rear seats, and the wagon features cargo net, retractable cover, and roof rails. It is a luxurious business car, with its standard power features and heated leather seats. It is an outdoors adventurer, with the cargo capacity of the wagon and AWD technology. And it is a sports car, with the Recaro supportive seats and side bolsters, exterior spoilers, V8 engine, and noisy exhaust.
The most common complaints are the lack of adult legroom in the backseat and the poor fuel economy. The 2007 S4 sucks up gas like a starving anteater. But that doesn't overshadow the significant plusses, including the thrilling speed, quick acceleration, responsive steering and short-throw shifting, unbeatable quattro, and a smooth and quiet ride (even in the convertible).
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2007 Audi S4 rave about its impressive performance and handling, particularly enjoying the powerful V8 engine and quattro all-wheel drive that delivers great traction in various conditions. The car offers a thrilling driving experience, with many highlighting the smooth power delivery and sharp handling. However, some drivers mention that maintenance can be expensive and express concerns about gas mileage, noting it can be lackluster at times. Additionally, while the S4 has a sophisticated luxury feel, a few owners feel the rear seating could be more spacious."
A really impressive effort by Audi that seems to have BMW Motorsports on its toes now. And competition is a good thing for both brands. The S4 is incredibly solid, even the cabriolet, and begs to be thrown into the turns where its low profile rubber and quattro hold the road like its on rails. The engine boasts an impressive 340 hp, with 300 lb-ft of torque. This car is purposed detuned for the U.S. market, so for the performance minded some simple upgrades can easily up these numbers by 10-20 percent. The styling of the S4 can't compete with the new S5 and isn't aggressive enough to draw attention the way an M car does, but sometimes that's a blessing. The gas mileage was downright embarrassing until I dropped a K&N filter in and now get 22-23 mpg on the highway. That was the best $60 I spent on it. This car is incredibly fun to drive year round, in all conditions, and has turned me into a huge Audi fan after swearing off the brand after owning a 5000S years ago.
December 27, 2008The S4 for 2007 is a great car, the ride and handling were superb. And the V8 motor had the growl that made you want to drive this car more and more. I would seriously recommend this ride to anyone that likes spirited driving in your everyday driving. Hope this was helpful to you.
October 11, 2012Audi S4 proves that luxury and performance can live together in one well-balanced package. small block V8 makes amazing growl noise, sharp handling and attractive interior. rear seats are little bit tight but front recaro bucket seats are hugging you in every corner and give you confidence entering the corner in high speed. Quattro all wheel drive ensures you have all time grip even in snow condition.

November 5, 2011The s4 is a great performance sedan. With seating for five and folding rear seats she is practical too! Well ... as practical as a 340hp V8 sedan can be. She is a little expensive to maintain though. None the less, she is incredibly fun on her good days.
June 1, 2010The A4's big brother or evil twin - it's great having both cars to compare, the S4 has the linear power and torque making a very smooth power band, you would think the 8k limiter would be plenty, but I find myself always bumping it! The suspension is a tad soft in the front - the heavy V8 tends to make the front roll over a bit too much at the track -more grip than the suspension has!
