I am looking into buying a b8 audi s4. Like to get some opinions from you guys, especially owners. Pros. Cons. Anything specific to look for. Only interested in the premium or prestige trims with a manual tranny.
My wife has a new A4 and we looked at the s4 but I don't get the point . It's not an exotic you can't use the extra power on the street and it looks pretty much like an A4. Just get an a4 and be done with it
This. Wheels a little trim and some interior changes. Of course the motor but the 2.0 works just fine.My wife has a new A4 and we looked at the s4 but I don't get the point .

Didn't she have a Tesla last year? How was it?
so where is all this great German engineering
I have one. These people don't appear to know much about it.
The car has a real quattro drivetrain (B8.5 got a crown gear setup with a bit better handling) and there's lots of things to like about the car, and not too much that isn't likable. It doesn't drive like an A4. The 3.0T is producing about 360hp stock despite the claim of 333hp, and a tune with pulley will give you around 400hp to the wheels, maybe a bit more. There are several tunes out there - main ones are GIAC, APR, EPL (which has home flash), REVO and Unitronic, a Canadian company (working on home flash). My car has the Technik (sp?!) package which I think is equivalent to the old Prestige. Mine has the sport differential as well, which is a big difference if you plan to track or are really aggressive in corners.
Personally I probably wouldn't own the car without the tune. With the tune, they're very quick. First-generation GT-R quick. And they're beasts on snow tires.

Or leave it untuned if you wish, but you are leaving a lot of performance and excitement on the ground with this car.
The Audi's 333hp certainly isn't impressive when you consider, as an example that my Japanese SUV normally aspirated V6 pushes 300hp stock.
