Just got one about 6 months ago and absolutely love it! Handles great in the snow as well. Have a all black one and get comments all the time even though I live in Denver with lots of brand new audi's everywhere.
Just a clarification for people. The car that is reviewed here is not an S-Line. It is a base level Avant with minimal options (no rear climate control, non-colorized screen in gauge-cluster, no automatic headlights, base-level infotainment system with the volume and control knob above the climate controls, and it doesn’t have the B&O audio system) and pretty tasteless aftermarket touches (most notably the grill, but the aluminum trim was off of a newer Audi, probably an Allroad). The door sills don’t say S-Line, there are no S-Line badges on the exterior, it is not at the S-Line lowered ride height, and it does not have the S-Line sport seats in the front or rear and it doesn’t have the 3-spoke steering wheel. Yes you could get the S-Line package as either exterior, interior, or both, but this car has neither. Another way to tell is that it has a tan headliner; S-Line cars have a black headliner. He also states that the car has a 6-speed transmission, but all of the 2011 A4 Avants’ came with an 8-speed “S-Tronic” transmission.
The « 8 speed » is a tiptronic transmission. You could at that time get an optional « 7 speed » S tronic transmission which is a dual clutch transmission
@@xilio9661 not for the 2011 A4. The only available transmission on the Avant during the 2011 model year in the US was the 8-speed. The 7-speed that you are talking about was the automatic transmission option for the S4, not the A4. You might also be confused because Audi switched the transmissions around for the B9 generation, so the new A4s have the 7-speed and the S4s have the 8-speed.
Thank you Andrew. Thats why we don't trust care salesman, they are just full of BS. 0-60 5.8 5.3 blah blah blah. I have a 2011 and i like it, but it's not what he described. Thank you for pointing out all the corrections.
That B8 is S-line, but only exterior wise. That car only has the s-line exterior design. 2x s-line gives you s line badge on the steering wheel, s-line door panels and more, and 3x s-line includes s-line badging seats with a more sportier trim
Great video review. I own one and have my rear floor- board in the reverse like you showed. I don't this car is a S-Line model thou... mine is a Prestige with some S-line features and it has a 3 spoke steering wheel; the seats have S embossed and the door sills say S-Line. Some models even have a sport package....Love my B8 Avant. May keep it to pass on to my daughter.
My first car i bought was this model. I still have it and its a A4 2.0 TDI 2x s-line Quattro with electric S4 sportseats swapped and its such a great car, i've never experienced a better awd system than this. i live in norway and its alot of snowy winter and its a amazing winter car.
Hey Bill, thanks for taking the time to make these "infotaining" videos. The Audi A4 avant, and Infinity Fx50S are at the top of my short list so these videos are great. I work in powersports everyday and can attest to a growing hatred for more and more machines. Nature of the beast I suppose.
You've made me want this car. The interior is beautiful, I prefer it over an A3 even if it is a bit longer. You can pick them up at decent prices here in the UK. ps. whereever you live is pretty damn nice
I have a 2012 Glacier White Avant that I purchased new. I’ve dropped a fair amount of dough into it replacing the rings, pistons and timing chain due to oil consumption issues. So I’ve dropped a bit of money into the A4. . Recently added BBS wheels, road pilot super sport tires, and a stage 1 tune. The car has been dropped, with sway bars added. I just ordered Bilstein coilovers. Also plan on adding a Borg Warner turbo, down pipe, intercooler. Much cheaper than buying a new car.
Kevin Lui I ordered a k 04 turbo through CTS for $1500. I’ve also ordered a intercooler for 699, although currently out of stock for the B8 motor. I will need an upgrade for the tune which will cost an additional $ 100 since I’ve already purchased the stage 1 tune for $600. I’ve also purchased a different intake.
Hey, I wanna buy used a4 avant. Is that oil consumption problem really that bad? I read that some people had their engine repairs covered by Audi warranty. If you did it yourself, could you tell how much you paid to fix it? I really want A4 avant and would appreciate a comment from a real owner.
B8 TDi mutlitronic owner, no problems with so far (150k milles), hoppefuly it will continue to perform well. Somehow these multitronic CVTs are more reliable than DSGs if serviced regulary
IMO, BMW..Audi...Benz sells the nicest wagon in USA. Of course in Europe there is so many choices..eg sport brake; Jaguar's etc...Love me an Estate car.
Agreed! I'm also a huge fan of the Dodge Magnum and Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon, as well as the legendary Mercedes-Benz E-class wagon. Long live the wagons!
I'm with you Bill, 100% People do not _need_ SUVs. They are stupid and obnoxious (both the people and the vehicles). Aside from the Jeep GC Hellcat, that's awesome! :D
Hate to burst your bubble but this is not an S line. S line features black headliner, black pillars, half suede sport seats, 3 spoke steering wheel, and S line door scuff plates. You have a base model
SUVs are not necessary. I own an Mercedes estate and it;s more than enough
Liked for the bird

If I ever was going to own a wagon, it would have to be as hot as the A4 🔥🔥🔥 😎...

that's not an s line. great video though!
Oh My, this is why I enjoy these videos, the side remarks from Bill.
Hilarious!

We get an RS4 wagon in Europe that could get near to 180 so that's why the A4 has a 180mph speedo.
I love that bird in the background

Grant Bradley how much is installation or you doing DIY ?
Kevin Lui installation for the turbo,and intercooler, and downpipe around $1000. Way beyond my skill level.

Run!!!
Great review and commentary.
Bring back the wagons
What do you think of the sedan version of this?
My favorite wagons include the Lexus IS300 Sport Cross, and the Acura TSX wagon. Infiniti never had a wagon did they?
DIAMLER so rare to see either of those, wagons just don't sell here in the states :/

I really like this car. I also like your content, subbed.
Fave part is the bird

They're a pain to park to, especially with all these compact parking spaces that are being forced on us.
Holy shit I love this guy
ahah the bird is shocking!
nice review fella
Hate to burst your bubble but this is not an S line. S line features black headliner, black pillars, half suede sport seats, 3 spoke steering wheel, and S line door scuff plates. You have a base model
Do you guys happen to know what cross bars are on this A4 Avant?
The RS-Style grill and the Quattro badges on the fenders aren't stock. And you don't have the sport seats. S-line wheel is always three spoke.
@Esoteric Chaos Yeah these aren't oem. They are some aftermarket halogen headlights with led strip.
pretty sure the front grill says this car is not an S-type...
I like this car.
great vid. love it
🗣️‼️🦅 🦅
Yup this avant is not an S-Line.
It’s not better than an suv. It’s better than a sedan.
Throw in the bird and I’ll take it.
Not 2011 it is 2008
Are you happy in life?
Well done Bill. I never have understood the station wagons from Audi and BMW. Just doesn't fit.
That is NOT an S Line
if you guys like Audi wagons you guys should check out @barbarianmotorsports new vid
Electric sistems will fail never reaching youngtimer age :D FCK this audi
You didn't stop at the stop sign. :(
