2006 Audi S4 Avant Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2006 Audi S4 Avant are thrilled with its powerful V8 engine and exceptional performance. Many drivers appreciate its blend of power and utility, making it a versatile choice for everyday use. The wagon’s spacious cargo area and luxurious interior with quality materials receive high praise. However, some owners feel that the handling and gearbox could be improved, which is a common point of critique."
Awesome V8 sound. Incredible road handling. Luxurious interior, including premium Bose sound system. The six speed manual is super tight and the brakes are insane. Driving this vehicle is a constant threat to my drivers license and possible jail time.
November 26, 2013A wolf in sheep's clothing - I got 6 tickeys in my red TT and none in my silver S4. With 25 more HP, bi-turbo acceleration, and great handling, you would have thought it would have been the other way around. I love my car.
February 3, 2009I fell in love with this car when I first heard it start up. The V8 just sounds so right! At all speeds and all revs that V8 soundtrack hums away in the background, tempting you to use it. The car looks very innocent, no more aggressive than a 2 litre TDI with S-line trim, but once you let it rip it can draw in the horizons frighteningly fast! Handling and poise on all road types and in the dry or the rain are exceptional, the car just feels glued to the road. Having now owned it 6 months and put 15,000 miles on it I can happily say that I still grin every time I get in it! I had to do a mad rush in Italy to try to catch a flight last month and saw some serious speeds on the clock. I have never felt so safe and in control in a car at 130 + miles an hour! Haven't found the limiter yet, but there is no doubt it's easy to reach and the car is more than capable of it. "Vorsprung Durch Technk" as they say in Germany.

April 22, 2008The B7 Audi S4 Avant is a much sought after vehicle in today's used car market. It's combination of power and utility is unmatched by most new vehicles and in my opinion it looks much better than all the sporty CUV's out there. You can run errands in it all day long, utilizing the 59 cu ft of cargo space with the seats down or 27.8 cu ft with the seats up. When you're done hauling people and cargo, you can haul ass on long stretches of highway, curvy canyon roads or even the track if you so desire. In stock form this wagon has performance capabilities that put many coupes to shame and there's always the option to go down the aftermarket rabbit hole. I chose to make some minor handling upgrades, replacing the control arms, tie rod ends, upgrading to performance brake pads and adding stainless steel braided brake lines. The only other addition I made was an APR cold air intake to allow the engine to breathe easier, always a plus for a big V8. Inside the car feels new, the Nappa Silk Leather has held up very well, I've treated it regularly with Leather Honey which keeps this premium hide soft and supple. There is no fading anywhere on the dash, all plastics look new and buttons function properly. The interior is a really nice place to be for an extended amount of time, comfortable, quiet and well thought out. These cars were built to last and to be enjoyed on the Autobahn or just running to the market. It is the hot rod family hauler that anyone will enjoy, whether are hardcore driving enthusaist or just someone who enjoys having a bit more power than the average car. The B7 S4 Avant does not disappoint and will make you wonder why Audi stopped bringing such a great car to the US.
March 9, 2015Great performance, even though the handling could have more feel.
April 16, 2008it's bright blue, it has a real AWD system, V8 power, Recaro sport seats, yet it has the storage space of most small SUVs and can seat 5. how can you not like this car?
May 10, 2008Bomb in every respect. I bought the car in March of 2008. It is four years old and it still has the highest quality fit and finish. It has an awesome 340 HP 4.2L V8, so its no surprise that it accelerates like a scared cat. I think that the previous owner had it lowere, so it handles tight. The Audi S4 avant has great looks, unique color, unique body style... its a true looker.
July 27, 2008An amazing car, especially considering it is a wagon. Handling and gearbox could be slightly better.
