    Any Audi is the Best Audi as long as you take care of it. I went from 2009 A4 to 2014 A6 Avant but every time i see an Audi driver I wave them with respect, no matter if its an old or new. I love all Audis.

      @@davealmeida9786 So I had A4 B8 2008 Sedan with 2.0TDI Automatic Multitronic 6 speed gearbox. Car is super reliable and easy to service alone such as oil and filter change and brake discs and brakes themselves but the only issue is if you wanna change rear discs you need a mech because if you take them off your e break will lock. Other than that i had no problem. Never burned oil. I had the same oil for yearly service to the next service. City drive is around 5 or 6 liters but crusing on highway for few hours and it wont go over 4 liters per 100km. I had it with 240 000km and on Audis 2.0tdi you have to swap belt once you go 190 000kms so thats pretty good. Seats are perfect for long ride but get Proline not S line. If you are not able to afford it you can go with Passat instead, you could say it is a cheaper version of audi. Just a little worse paintjob and interior is not that great but the seats are comfy.. and the downgrade from Passat would be Skoda Octavia, same thing but cheaper matherials.

    Thanks for the vid! Curious about the list that you posted @3:29 - how did you come up with the list, and should we truly avoid variants that aren't on the list?
    Also, looking a bit further, some of the info you mention seem to conflict with your recommended list. For instance, you mention the 3.2 FSI as one of the most reliable petrol engines @1:26. You then get into transmissions and mention @2:42 that the multitronic CVT has some issues, with the Tiptronic autos being far superior. Yet, in your recommendations for bulletproof Audis you list for the A4 the 2.0 TDI which only comes with CVT, yet leave out the A4 3.2 FSI Quattro with Tiptronic? Just curious as to why this was so. Thanks!

Audi/Seat/Skoda/Volkswagen have 90% the same engines and transmissions. Audi is the premium segment of Volkswagen, but you will find most problems with 1.2 tfsi /1.8 tfsi / 2.0 tfsi (or TSI) in the entire VW Group as well.

It may be time for me to sell it before even changing the shocks! My Audi A6 has less than 50k miles so no issues so far but still under warranty. From what I saw the S series are reliable (S6), so may look into that series.

    You started talking about the 2.0 TFSI engine, but keep in mind, that there is A LOT of different variants of this engine, the oil consumption problem is only relevant on the EA-113 engine, which is used in the Audi A4, A5 and Q5. The rest of the 2.0 TFSI engines are used in models such as the A6, which uses an BPJ engine, which is pretty much a bullet proof engine, it can have a timing chain problem, but nothing pricey.
    Just wanted to clarify, so people don't get afraid of buying a 2.0 TFSi engine from VW/AUDI.
    If you're looking at an Audi A4, A5 or Q5 from 2004-2012, my advice would be, stay away, and get an A6 or similar, if you absolutely want the TFSi engine.

    I never considered an Audi until I drove a 13 s4. I've been doing research and considering options. Often times older s4s and s5s show up in the price range I'm considered with less than 130k km. My concerns for the 4.2l is the timing components. This engine has taming components on both ends, so it must be pulled to service them.

      I do not know if this is still needed for you, but dont confuse the A4, A5 and Q5 2.0 TFSI engines with the A6 TFSI engine, the engine with the oil consumption problem is called EA-113, and is used in the A4, A5 and Q5, the A6 TFSI engine is a BPJ engine, which do not have the problem - anyways, the problem should have been fixed after 2012, so if you're looking at an A4, A5 or Q5, the oil consumption problem shouldn't be there, but keep in mind, you can always be unlucky.

    A mention on this, I have a 2015 2.0tdi Audi A6, DPF failed at 70k (Common fault according to audi) they also look for cool $3000 to replace them which isn't great, on top of that the actuators also are notorious for failing which can now only be calibrated by Audi who also recommend replacing the turbo when this fails along with the N75 valve, they have also had recalls on injectors failing. If you are buying a new diesel Audi beware of the above before buying.

    If you want more from a car get a BMW (but not the new x1 or other FWD platform), Jaguar or a Mercedes in the same price range. They are not necessarily faster or more capable but a good balance is always a plus. Audi's are not bad at all but they screwed the weight distribution. Also specialists are not impressed by the steering feedback. But other than that they are fine.
    I'm not particularly a BMW fan although I own two. I appreciate other models as well like the audi A5 3.0 or S with the sport differential and torque vectoring that also looks very well, or decent sports cars honda s2000, mazda mx5, ginetta g40, lotus elise, westfield. As for SUVs there is the jag F pace and AR stelvio that do more than just being premium SUVs. Also the P. Macan is good but that's getting expensive and probably expensive maintenance.

    • @volvopentaman
      @volvopentaman 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I always advice people to NOT buy BMWs especially with over 200.000km (I'm a mechanic and repair those craps). They are notorious for having many expensive issues, like all models. 4cyl models stretch and break chains, 6cyl models are best, but have both chain, VANOS, valvetronic and oil consumption issues on some 2000's models. V8 are just too expensive to maintain if you take it to a garage, not to talk about V10 or V12 models. And I wouldn't call them better handling in any way.

  • @AngusTheAngry
    @AngusTheAngry 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    So in my country, Audis are pretty expensive in general. I have narrowed down that the best option for the best price would be the A4 Allroad 2.0 TDI. Here is why I think that. It is the 2.0 TDI which is a reliable engine, it has the real Quattro in it, and has an s-Tronic gearbox, which is the one I prefer. All for the same/lower price of a normal A4. My guess is that the only reason it is cheaper is that it is considered "not attractive" so it has a lower target market. Now, If I buy that, and add on the s-line kit, and do an ECU tweak and upgraded exhaust system, I am basically left with a close S4 competitor and a good looking car, for the same price as an A4. I would love an Audi veterans opinion on this?
