Audi S4: A top tech car!

Audi S4
The Audi S4 got a spectacular rating over at CNet with 9.0 out of 10 points.
You can also watch a video.
The good: The 2006 Audi S4's sophisticated V-8, mated to a solid six-speed manual, delivers steady power throughout its revs, while the Quattro system and associated electronics keep it on the road. And we like Audi's MMI controls for infotainment functions.

The bad:
The Bluetooth interaction with our phone was surprisingly limited in the 2006 Audi S4. Ergonomically, the brake pedal was a little high, and the driver armrest interferes with the hand-brake lever.

The bottom line: The 2006 Audi S4 commands a hefty premium over the standard A4, and although the cabin gadgets are similar, the performance gain is worth it. We had some minor issues, but overall, this is a top tech car.
