Default Surprising thing I like about my S4 is....

the hangers on the underside of the trunk!

It's amazing how simple yet convenient these really are. I suppose they've been in the base A4 for years now but I didn't know until I bought my S4! They come in handy even though there is also a cargo net in the trunk. Some things are just not meant to be stored under the net so these hooks are awesome. Lol.

I know I don't need to go into how great the S4 is performance-wise....

I'm with you there Timmay. Especially as i have the Avant it stops things just sliding around the whole time, which is noisier in the Avant than the sedan.

And, in the spirit of "smart thinking for convenience" in cars, in teh VW R36 they had a hole in the driver door to hold a fold up umbrella (provided), so if it is raining you can just grab it as you open the door. And slide the wet brolly in when getting in to car and it drained externally. I thought that was another example of neat thinking (hint, hint Audi).

I would not mention that you have a B8 S4 Avant too often . Some of us ,across the pond , wil get too envious.

There are MANY good reasons to come to Australia!

(S4 purchase price is not one of them.)

Default Surprising Thing

My wife loves the S4 so much that I have ordered an RS5 so I will have an Audi to drive.

I hope your favorite thing about your Audi doesn't include those grocery hooks. My neighbor's S5 doesn't have them. I think that is sort of odd...

BTW...before clicking on this thread, I was thinking that one of my personal favorite things about the S4 is the grocery hooks. Glad to see that others appreciate them as much as I do!

LOL. Btw, do the regular A4s have these hooks? I never checked.

That is an interesting and productive problem.
