However once they do, the adrenaline will skyrocket. Under sunny skies of blue, there are few cars capable of matching the motoring pleasure and sheer excitement of piloting an S4. True love may be free, but the exhilaration of 340 highly refined horsepower isn't. Nor is the copious amount of premium fuel needed to support such an enthusiastic partner. But hey, it's still cheaper than piloting an F16, and a lot more comfortable I am willing to bet.
