No test drive here and will be picking it up later this week. Personally looking forward to driving it for the first time off the lot.

Test drove it for about 10 minutes before placing my order. Honestly though, I was sold even before the test drive.

After an hour of trying to decide between my misordered A4 and 2 other A4s on the lot. I testdrove an S4 for 10 minutes. That's all it took to forgot the A4s!

Can you elaborate on the "misordered A4"? I can't imagine what my response would be if my S4 arrives not exactly how I ordered it. That wait has been excrutiating enough, and it's only been one month . . .

Not available in Calgary when i bought mine last November. All were custom orders and all were pre-sold so the closest i got was the A4, A5 and the A6 all driven. I was sold though as soon as i saw the head lights blaze up..........

I went back & forth between a Prestige vs. Premius Plus 2010 A4. In the process I lost the back up camera. So after a 3 1/2 month wait the A4's options were fumbled. My S4 doesn't have a backup camera either, but I don't care as much!

I went to an Infiniti dealer to order a G37. I test drove every model Infiniti makes and decided to order a G37 sports sedan. Then I test drove a S4 just for fun since there was an Audi dealer next door. That's all it took. I loved how the S4 takes off the line without being needed to be revved up. Infiniti, you have to rev it to close to redline to get real power. S4's engine almost feels like an electric motor the way it makes so much torque right off the idle. Perfect for blowing past slow drivers when you get stuck behind them in traffic when you get an opening!

Got a family member who was set on the new 2011 535i but decided to give the S4 a chance. Luckily the local dealer has two 2010 S4's on the lot, so hopefully they will test drive it next week.

Doing inventory searches online though it seems the S4's are few and far between.
