A high-performance version of Audi's volume-selling premium car, the S4 delivers plenty of thrills along with its Teutonic refinement. The 2015 S4 is powered by a 3-liter supercharged V6 that makes 333 horsepower. Quattro all-wheel drive is standard, as is a six-speed manual transmission. Notable options include Audi's DSG twin-clutch automatic transmission and a torque-vectoring differentials.

All this adds up to a luxurious sedan capable of 0-60 in under 5 seconds and a (governor-limited) top speed of 155 were you to take it to a track or Autobahn. Where the real charm of the Audi S4 lies, however, is in its ability to multitask and be both a perfectly comfortable, unobtrusive commuter and a backroads hooligan. With the S4, you can commute through rush-hour traffic and listen to your music via Audi's MMI interface, all in luxury-sedan comfort, then take the long way home at the end of the day and feel like you're driving a dedicated sports car.
