2001 Audi S4 Avant Reviews, Pricing & Specs











































































What owners say
"Overall, drivers love the 2001 Audi S4 Avant for its stunning looks, powerful engine, and excellent handling, often describing it as a pleasure to drive, especially with its AWD capabilities. However, some have pointed out the likelihood of maintenance issues and high repair costs, along with concerns about its weight affecting handling in corners."
I bought it new in 2001. I've added the following modifications: - Bigger (K04) turbos + associated mods - Free-flow exhaust + cats - StopTech brakes (seriously unnecessary for street use) - Alcantara (ultrasuede) shift knob I had aftermarket shocks and springs, but I took them off when I moved to Boston, because I am not a masochist. Calculated HP: 400+ at the crank. This car truly hauls, in both senses of the word. I've used it for computer equipment, food, bicycles, and so on. I've also surprised more than a few Porsche drivers, and some very pissed-off Mercedes AMG folks. And the AWD makes it possible to drive with great confidence, and lack of finesse, even on unfamiliar terrain. And IMO my particular model is the best-looking wagon out there. (Although I have to admit the Dodge Magnum is pretty hot.)
December 3, 2007Theres not much to dislike and plenty to like how can you ask for more, a avant with room for 5, total sleeper that will take out 997 turbo porsches and you can drive in the snow. Take it to the track on the weekends and drive to work on the week. An amazing car that is very rare and sought after.
December 16, 2014Love this car. Has just the right mods for me. Stage 1 kit, suspension, 18" summers, 17" winters. Still in great shape at eleven years and 100K+ miles. Timely looks. Great station wagon room, with station wagon stealth value. Fun!

March 19, 2008It’s a beautiful car with a great engine. Handling is excellent and it’s really fun to drive. There are always issues so keep that in mind when purchasing
August 27, 2020The fastest wagon, I ever drove. And I can even fit my 3 kids in it. Have only had minor "problems" with it, had to get a new clutch = $2,400, otherwise fairly prized repairs on it. It crossed the Rocky Mountains 3 times in less than a year, so.... ;o) Considering it's 250 hp and 258 ft-lbs, 27 MPG is a decent gas consumption, I think..
April 4, 2008Not such a good experience with Audi, but a decent car.
