Further proof that Audi is more than simply an alternative brand.

#1. Audi’s new S4 is faster, more powerful, and more efficient than the BMW 335i xDrive.

Though you could lump cars like the Mercedes-Benz C350 and Acura TL SH-AWD in with the 2010 Audi S4, the model likely to be compared most often is the BMW 335i xDrive. That’s the all-wheel-drive variant of BMW’s 300-horsepower, twin-turbocharged 3 Series sedan, a vehicle widely recognized as the top dog in its class. As noted, our test car was less expensive than a comparably-equipped 335i xDrive, but it delivered an extra 33 horsepower and 25 lb.-ft. of torque, was capable of reaching 60 mph nearly a half second quicker, and beat the Bimmer’s EPA-estimated fuel economy across the board. Is the new S4 a better choice? The answer to that question depends on individual tastes, but Audi has certainly proven its redesigned sport sedan worthy of consideration by anyone shopping for a thrilling yet refined daily commuter.
