YOUR SEARCH:

to me, I will say immediately and without hiding, automobile was pleased. It seems, in it in all moderately - and external to stati, and comfort, and luxury. Except one - it is rapid to the disgrace. Personally I receive this as merit, together with the rigid suspensions and the complete drive. But if someone finds in the aforesaid above contradiction, or if it is confident, that 344 hp to nothing for the everyday ride around the city, 4 even to argue not to camp. Simply this means that S4 - not its machine. But whose? Let us look, will give a ride, and afterward and let us solve.

Temperament and evidently, and audibly

in spite of the type of the body of the aggression in appearance Audi S4 are quite sufficient. But indeed it does seem, what special did add designers k from without that to dynamic appearance Aya? Cover plates on bumper, to the thresholds and the boot-lid. Still they edged with aluminum of the mirror of rear form and reylingi on the roof, installed enormous 18- one inch disks, and from the rear bumper made it necessary proudly to project the chrome-plated branch pipes of new exhaust system. Yes, but still designers lowered clearance, why automobile began to appear as the predator, that is prepared for the leap. But the still basovityy roar of the motor, which you will not entangle with the exhaust from the pseudo-sport mufflers insulting for the rumor. And finally the color: in my opinion, brilliant yellow okras greatly approaches to this specialist, and it will for sure assign on it attention in the roads.

A inside? The massive sport armchairs Recaro with the extremely developed lateral support in reality prove to be soft and amazingly convenient. They are supplied with the complete set of electrical adjustments, including the possibility to change the degree of lumbar backwater. Add to this moving both along the height and on the departure the steering column and you will understand that difficulties with the correct landing after the control arise it cannot. Yes even baranka itself it is pleasant to hold in the hands. Its rim is stocky, and diameter is small. To the steering wheel are brought out the control knobs of outstanding audiosistemoy Bose, and from the back side were placed the small lobes of gearshift AKP. Very lever of "automaton" is framed by chromium, and on torpedo and door panels there are inserts from the carbon.

Instrument panel consists of four "it is circular" with the aluminum rims also of the small colored monitor, to which are derived the indications of on-board computer. Here several service buttons, with the aid of which it is possible to inquire information about the path to following TO, to verify the work of onboard systems or to reset to zero the indication of the current path on the odometer. In other respects interior S4 is the same as in expensive versions Aya. One should also say that behind the driver is a spacious "sofa" and the capacious baggage carrier, whose volume it is easy to increase from 442 to 1288 liters, if we accumulate seats. Special hooks and openings for fastening of luggage are here located.

Everything for drayva

test Audi S4 Avant was equipped with the 6- stepped "automaton", which, I hurry to certify, it is very good. Moreover the version with mechanical KP in this case appears even less attractively, takeing into account power and torque of power unit - nearly it reaped cohesion, and - good-bye disk, how do you do service. To the same AKP completely does not diminish the potential of the 8- drum power unit with a volume of 4,2 liters. It is capable of being adapted under the style of driving, and for the "hot" drivers themselves proposes the sport operating mode, for which the lever must be transferred to one division lower than mark Drive.

However let us pause for the moment at "D", and nevertheless let us be enraptured by the rate, with which the automobile gains speed, and with which the pointer of speedometer passes one mark for another. Electronics smoothly and without the excess jerks passes from one step to another, so that begins to seem that already nothing not it is capable of stopping this reckless run. Error, certainly: brake of support are always ready with the monstrous force to force boot-trees against those perforated and those ventilated by disks in order to ensure not less monstrous retarding. By the way, brake pedal itself does not seem superfluously soft or vice versa rigid - to dose effort on it is possible easily, but ABS. and the distribution system of brake forces will ensure a maximally effective retarding. But if we transfer "automaton" into the sport regime, then in each transfer motor will be twisted out to the maximum revolutions, and salon in this case will be filled by the powerful and pleasant sound of the disposed exhaust. In this case completely will disappear the "pensiveness" of box, and least touch to the accelerator will be felt by back.

It is remarkable, that, in spite of the presence of "automaton", after control S4 it is possible to easily use braking by left foot. Only, if this is done in order to place body sideways, it is better to previously open stabilization system ESP. And then you are held - between you and road fabric only low-profile tires, which turns the powerful motor, will remain without any "collar".

Is certain S4, as any all-wheel-drive automobile, it is amazingly steady. But also on the dry asphalt, when desired, it is possible to attain slips. I speak this to fearlessly provoke to the risky trick insufficient the prepared driver, because it is confident: this automobile manage people skillful and with the sober head on the arms. Foolish "Street -reЯing" - this is amusement not for them. On the whole, S4 on the controllability the automobile neutral, and therefore by certain can seem by a little dull. However, this is not more than one additional error, which is been, to entire other, characteristic property or firm by the sign of all Audi with the all-wheel-drive transmission quattro. It is worthwhile to pass the appropriate preparation, and you will understand that on S4 it is possible to perform such pirouettes, which before and did not dream. In this automobile everything is reduced to the correct mass transfer between the axes, and even heavy V8 from the front - not interference. Certainly, most likely, front suspension will suffer on our roads from this, but this is inevitable victim to the excellent running qualities of model and to its reckless temperament. however,

interesting itself, that also the comfort remains at the very acceptable level. Moreover, from its own experience I will say that new S4 became more comfortable automobile in comparison with the predecessor. Pits and unevennesses became less they were perceived, although the banks of body in the turns slightly and increased. It is unpleasant on our tracks, where wide rubber begins to a little stir automobile, without being accomodated into the "space diverted for it". But the sharp control, which forms the clear picture of proceeding under the wheels, here to the aid will arrive at the high speed. Moreover it is not shared unfairly by the reaction, which makes it necessary not only to strongly baranka in the turns, but also to check the behavior of machine.

With the intensive ride it is necessary very often to drop in on AZS, where it is better to be filled with 98- m (although 95-1 will approach). Thus, the average fuel consumption on the computer was on the mark 21 l on 100 km but so whether this large victim to unique drayvu?

Expensively, certainly...

Audi S4 are proposed by official dealers on the price from 93 805 dollars for sedan with the mechanical 6- stepped gearbox, and from 95 970 for version Avant with the same type of transmission. AKP will increase cost to 95 851 for sedan and to 98 015 after Avant. Moreover this in the base, although very rich, assembly. Guarantee to the automobile is 2 years without the limitation of path.

In spite of the clearly not most attractive price, automobile enjoys sufficiently steady demand. As it was possible to explain in a number of dilerskikh it was center Audi in Moscow, well-off people of average age most frequently become its buyers (from 30 to 50 years). They all are sufficiently important businessmen, and the sufficiently experienced drivers. The most frequent motivation of this acquisition - "was already Audi, it wants it only more powerful". That zh, is completely logical, especially if we consider the possibility of all-weather operation and not so wide a list of competitors.
