This one is the 2015 Audi S4, not Audi’s freshest product, but one that is familiar to use here at Autos. What seems like only last year but is in fact almost two years ago, we spent three glorious months behind the wheel of a Monsoon Grey (a colour now replaced by Daytona Grey) S4, but there was one essential element missing from that test: winter.

Our purpose this time around with the S4 was to see if it could hold its own against the newfound luxury of the C 450, but it seems... Our conclusion would have gone something like this: “The Audi is more sporty, the Mercedes is more luxurious. Source: www.autos.ca
