The AUDI A4 (1995-01) S4 5DR AVANT 2.7 QUATTRO is a performance-focused five-door estate in the premium family-car market. Its practical shape offers useful luggage space, while quattro four-wheel drive adds confidence in poor weather. It is a distinctive alternative to everyday estates, not just a load-lugger. With a powerful twin-turbo petrol engine and brisk, sure-footed performance, the S4 suits drivers who want family practicality with real excitement. It can handle commuting, long-distance trips and weekends, but its age, running costs and fuel use make it less suited to budget-conscious first-time drivers than mainstream rivals including BMW 3 Series Touring. mycarcheck.com has recorded 97 look-ups across 48 VINs, with an average mileage of 151,000 and around 5.7 previous keepers. The average annual mileage of 2,000 is notable, though records vary. An average private-sale valuation of £300 should be treated cautiously for this specialist model; condition and service history matter greatly.
