Esquire has announced the winner of its annual “Car of the Year” awards, and Audi<\/a>‘s performance-oriented version of its A4 sedan, the S4, took home the top honors.<\/p>\n

In each issue, the magazine profiled a car as it searched for the top car this year. The S4 had some stiff competition, including the Ford<\/a> Mustang, BMW<\/a> 535i, Porsche Boxster Spyder and Hyundai<\/a> Genesis, but in the end, the Audi won out.<\/p>\n

“Over several months and many miles, we drove cars – cars that are the most powerful, most attractive and most thrilling that the auto industry has to offer,” said Esquire Editor-in-Chief David Granger. “While a number of the cars we tested were terrific, the Audi S4 truly deserved top honors. Its rare combination of speed, force, design, and price makes the end result a triumph.”<\/p>\n

The magazine praised the automobile’s mix of comfort and performance, along with its comparatively low price of about $45,000, as the reasons for the win. While the sedan style made a quiet ride in the city or country pleasurable, the S4 also packed enough wallop to be fun to drive when a driver really puts it through the paces.<\/p>\n

Those interested in a luxury vehicle like the S4 may want to search on the used car market, as they can likely find it at a steep discount compared to its sticker price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
