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

#3. Though built for performance, the 2010 Audi S4 is a comfortable long-haul companion.

As is the case with every test car, we spent a week with the 2010 Audi S4, racking up hundreds of miles and evaluating all that this supercharged four-door had to offer. This required long hours behind the wheel, and if you’ve been in any number of stiffly-sprung sport sedans, you know that the experience isn’t always pleasant. We, and specifically, our backs, are happy to report that the S4 doled out comfort and performance in equal parts. Mostly. Deeply-bucketed and bolstered front seats, complete with power lumbar adjustments and six settings for heat, kept us comfortable during one 300-mile day, though we did wish for a bit more lower-cushion support at times. However, you won’t hear us complaining about the adjustable center armrest that put the stick shift right at our fingertips. Getting into the driver’s seat was another matter; with the seat set for the correct driving position, we found ourselves repeatedly banging a knee against the dash upon entry.
