I love audis cause even in their most basic trim it has everything I need/want for me as long as it’s got heated seats, sunroof and CarPlay I’m satisfied
Great solid little car. Good build quality, great ride and handling and I like that it doesn't call too much attention to itself with the design. Would be perfect for me because I buy a car for me to enjoy, not show off to others so having a car that flies under the radar suits me well.
thats basically how i feel about my audi S4. great sleeper car. looks modest and unassuming but great handling and performance under the hood. that's why i like audi best.
You've been on a roll now with all these reviews. Keep at it man, you've quickly become my favorite youtube reviewer by far. congrats on all the current and continued success!
The fact that there's still a button for Nav on this car, despite the fact that pushing it just brings you to a menu saying that "Navigation was not purchased on this car" is stupid.
Acura doesn't make luxury vehicles. Acura is slightly upgraded Honda which is cheap plastic all over. I owned two Acura vehicles. They are not in same league as German's built vehicles. Acura is lover across major categories. (Engine power and its feel, the feel of the material, the ride quality, AWD performance, the WOW factor, the way the dealers treats you.)
@@sunshadow9704 yeah you’re right the German vehicles will require the technician to bring an umbrella with him when he racks it up after 50k check because of the leaks from the “sweet German engine” filled with plastic😂😂. Acura’s will go for 200k Easy if properly maintained.
If you like the way a car looks and drives, buy and don’t care about the reliability. We only live one life. If you listen to Scotty Kilmer we will only drive boring Corollas
I drove the pre face-lift 19 A4 in red and man.... i love it.. i have to say the standard seats aren't as comfortable as the sport seats as seen in this one. In my opinion its better than the C300 and the 330i.
I returned a 2016 MB E350 at the end of its lease and bought a 2019 Kia Optima 1.6T to save on operating costs. Although its ride, handling, and wind and noise isolation unbelievably isn't too far off from the Benz, it clearly doesn't possess other attributes of a luxury car. I miss the feel of heft and smoothness of a good road car. This Audi A4 WILL be my next car, as I drive into retirement in a few years, or more. A friend let me drive his '17 A4, and I was sold. We had four adults in the car, weighing over 230lbs each. It road very well and pulled like nothing.
I agree, The modern hyundai/kias are the closest thing to a German feel for cheap. VW used to fill that niche but they've lost their way. I look forward to owning a German car again soon for all of the reasons you listed. They're amazing, Handed down my 2011 A4 to my Mom and she's still loving it with 150k on it now.
@@JakeDrives1 Your A4 has probably set a record with that many miles on it now lol. How many water pumps did that A4 go through ? How much oil did it burn each month? It probably is a money pit by now. Hyundais and Kias are no way near German car feel. They feel cheap and plasticky and like a tin can. You pay for what you get.
As a 17 A4 owner, I would say this is the best transmission I ever drive, it is very silky. Also if you want best of it, keep the steering and engine in dynamic mode it is more respond like a different car. Also, when you are first car in left turn and left turn road signal turn green, hit the gas paddle all the way, the Quattro will lock you on the road like a fast roller coaster. You have drive so much different cars, would you kindly recommend top 3 vehicles that is really low road noise and quietness, I am thinking getting my next car like an suv. Thanks
This is not a professional opinion, but if you like the A4, then you need to consider the Q5. It's basically an A4, just in crossover form. I drove one a year ago and I loved it. I can't wait for my Acura MDX lease to be up in 10 months because I think that's going to be my next car!
@trostan right.. I have a friend who wants a 8-9 seater for the rare occasions he wants to have 8-9 people in his car😂… waste of gas and space especially in nyc
Atticus Murray yeah It’s like the low numbers (a3,a4,a5 ,q3 )are completely different and lower quality than the high numbers (a6,a7,a8,q5,q7,q8) while bmw and Mercedes doesn’t really have that issue
Brando Wouldn’t say that. It all depends on how you tick the boxes. Like in this video, at least technically nearly none are ticked. I have a nearly fully full spec A5 Sportback 2020 with everything black. With the virtual cockpit flat steering wheel, carbon trims in the interior and Leather on the surfaces I get a quality that’s higher then the average A6 or A7 I see on the roads... As I’ve said: Tick the boxes wisely
They did a great job on the redesign on this vehicle! Such a nice car at such a great price! It does have pretty good competition with the new Mercedes and BMW models.
I have this same car pretty much except mine is a 21 A4 S line. Apparently beginning in 2021+ the engine was updated from the somewhat unreliable EA888 gen3 to the gen 4 which has a new turbo from Garrett and other redesigned components. I’m sure it’ll still have its flaws, nothing is perfect, but it at least goes to show that the German brands are becoming just as if not more than reliable than Honda or Toyota. Honda recently ranked lower due to the quality issues transmission issues recalls etc. I know this will make the boomer owners and Honda Toyota fanboys upset calling German cars money it’s junk etc, but trust me, they’re not. All I had to put into the car was 1200 bucks and that’s because I got 4 new continental tires top of the line, front end alignment, oil change, and rotors. The benefit of Audi compared to bmw or Benz is that because they’re essentially luxury vw you can get parts relatively cheaper if something does go wrong. Overall, went from an HR-V to the A4, very happy. I did buy it used, got extended warranty, but I’m not worried when it goes out. I did my research and the majority of the stuff I’ve seen is positive.
One thing I seriously hate, my 2020 A5 Sportback in Dynamic (standard D) has so much throttle lag from a stop it’s actually scary. Unless you keep it in S or manual mode, you crawl from a stop and contemplate your death anytime you need to merge into traffic.
Get a pedal commander, it in increases the throttle response. I did that with my a4 and it works really good, made it way more fun to drive without the lag
I've owned Acura's for many years. Tl''s to Rl's, but I now have an A4 and am planning to get an A6 for my wife. The quality of the Audi is far Superior in my opinion.
Actually if you average the sales for the past 4 years 2017-2020 the a4 outsells the tlx and that not counting the a5 sales. As for the new tlx although it a massive improvement over the old one, the plastics on the door are pretty bad. If you think that Audi is cost cutting on the a4’s interior, the q5 is a lot worse with the harder plastics.
With the B9 driving around in D mode seems to not deliver the same torqueness as in S mode. Applying a little bit of gas in D mode causes a noticeable jump in RPM to make power/torque. I seem to recall the B8.5 D and S mode only differed in that S mode would hold a slightly higher rpm, at any speed. However, unlike the B9, D mode in the B8.4 delivered the same progressive torque/power through the RPM band.
Wish you would review the 2020 Ford Fusion Titanium and hear your thoughts. I know it's not the freshest car on the market but I've heard nothing but good things regarding powertrain and handling
Kamil Dylewsk I do own a 2019 Audi A5 sport back which is essentially the same as A4 B9. The engine is really quite and the wind noise is hushed. I drove a 2019 c300 and it’s engine seems really rough at low rpms.
@@likris6607 Good to know, I heard that there is no noticeable difference in sound isolation between VW Passat B8 and Audi A4, however, I didn't have the opportunity to verify that. Thanks!
Kamil Dylewski They are riding on different platform. European Passat is on MQB. American Passat is on a really old platform. So in either case, a4 should be noticeable quieter than Passat. One thing is that my car has the s-line package which replace 18 inches wheel with 19s. The ride is firmer and may create more tire noises. If you want a comfort ride. I suggest you stick with 18s wheels
It's the classic car that stands between almost boring and OK. Not bad, but it's just a slighty better Jetta with good interior quality and doesn't really shine in any aspect. There are much better options that cost less which are way more fun to drive.
dummies buy this for 50k. i got my a5 sportback, brand new with 100 miles, premium plus with b&o, for 38k. the car is amazing. still love it just as much as i did when i bought it 6 months ago. it's serene and composed when you want it to be, and wild and crazy and GRIP FOR DAYS when you want it.
Yeah im pretty sure this the base AWD model which that's just one step above above the FWD one, had he had the premium package and Sline I'm sure this would look much more appealing on the inside and outside.

Never been in a Audi that’s bad. There just something about everything being smooth and even the base engine being punchy yet smooth

My heart jumped a little when the cop pulled out behind you, and I’m in my living room 😂
Pretty nice german engineering. Its not high end but perfect for daily drive. Audi has always some of the nicest interiors.
Exactly
Lol. Of course Acura brought along an A4 in base trim for comparison with the TLX.
Though that wasn’t fair, I feel like the A4 has lost its edge no matter the trim, there’s just better alternatives to it
Rafael Carpy like what and why better
Atticus Murray for real Im an Acura fan and they didn’t even do the comparison properly
F L your opinion does change the facts
F L Volvos have better proportions than Audi, have you seen the Q5??
I always say an audio system is only as good as the car's sound deadening. This car passed my test. I can hear the clarity while he's driving.
That’s why luxury cars are expensive lol
I even love the directionals sound haha
my friend said mine is too loud but I love it lol
Even for a base model it still looked really nice, would 100% get this over the Acura

Great review! I would have mentioned that Acura clearly sandbagged Audi by finding a rare A4 without its market leading virtual cockpit.
I returned a 2016 MB E350 at the end of its lease and bought a 2019 Kia Optima 1.6T to save on operating costs. Although its ride, handling, and wind and noise isolation unbelievably isn't too far off from the Benz, it clearly doesn't possess other attributes of a luxury car.

TheTopher still a great video nevertheless 😃 🚗

Very solid vehicle from Audi. Not a comparison to Acura TLX. They simply aren't in same league.
The A4 is decently good value however I definitely feel there are some stronger options in the class these days
In your opinion, what do you think is a better option(s)?
Ming Hong the BMW 3 series and Lexus ES definitely would be top of my list.

I wish you'd take the time to show the headlights on, on this premium since the headlights are different.
It's kinda funny how tacked-on that screen is 😆
Rather that than have a CRT-sized hump in the middle of my center console.
Arms-length.
It's wild that Acura would let you drive an A4 at their TLX launch. The A4 is infinitely more appealing in just about every single way.
"That’s quite a color for a challenger" bruh that’s a charger...great video as always bro!!
I paused to think about it too lol
2:22 that’s a charger
Said the same
Worst charger I’ve ever seen
Engine sounds better and pulls harder than the engine in the new TLX. Less hp too yet its faster than the TLX
Exactly that’s why audi is the best
They did a great job on the redesign on this vehicle! Such a nice car at such a great price! It does have pretty good competition with the new Mercedes and BMW models.
For me, A4 is the VW Golf with longitudinal layout and multilink front suspension system

I’d say acceleration is practically a dead ringer to a bone stock MK7 GTI which is impressive considering how much heavier the A4 is than a GTI.
Are you sure a Mk 7 GTI can do 0-60 in 5.2 s? Some reviews have reported figures as low as 4.8 s!
