Audi S4 (1991 - 1994) Reviews, Pricing & Specs

After searching for ages to find a 100, I was elated to come across this vehicle - basically a 100 with more power. I was lucky enough to get this one with a mere 171,000 miles at 22 years old, so it looks like it'll be running for years to come. The interior is elegant, "Classic Audi," and very comfortable, and it's a blast to drive. Mine has a stage 3 clutch, which makes it a little bit of work and stop-and-go traffic, but on an open onramp when I get to put the pedal to the metal and feel the turbo kick in...sure wakes me up faster than the cup of coffee. The down side of that is that the gas mileage is downright Jurassic compared to today's standards - I average about 19mpg combined. (To be fair, I drag it through Seattle's horrific rush hour twice a day - it would be much better if I had more actual highway driving.) My only other complaint is that is was clearly designed for much taller people. I'm 5'7" and I sit with the seat ALL THE WAY forward, and I still have to stretch my leg to get the clutch all the way to the floor. Since the center armrest is attached to the seat, that also puts it much farther forward, which means I end up bumping my elbow on it whenever I shift into 2nd or 4th. Not a big deal - I've adapted to it pretty comfortably now - but if you're any shorter than me, you're going to have a real hard time driving this car. Bottom line, though, I love it dearly. It feels incredibly solid, it handles the inclement weather without hesitation, and above all, it's a sportier version of my dream car, so I'm a very happy woman.Jan 25, 2015
