This is, imho, one of the few German cars I would purchase, not lease. It rides on the same platform as the A6/A8 so it provides the premium ride and handling that you cannot get in an Altima/Camry/Accord. The motor is EA888; every mechanic in town can work on it. It doesn't have too much crazy expensive tech; no adaptive dampers, active roll bars, air springs, etc. It is constructed like a tank; that screen on the dash is mounted so securely I believe you could put the car in neutral and tow it with a line around that screen and it would not visibly bend at all. Do the oil changes on time and the DSG fluid change every 40K miles and there is no reason you can't get 200K miles out of it. The new one has the same basic bones but a more rounded look I don't think is actually better than this generation, plus it now has the full screen iPhone treatment inside which I also don't care for. Get this one before its gone.
Love my 17 A4 Premium Plus S Line. Still drives well over 102k. Very dependable I drive from DC to MA every other month and its never broke down. I want to upgrade in the new year and this is looking like a good option!
A4 is a big car, but they are using the wheelbase in wasteful way. It’s staggering how little space is there on rear seats. Just compare it to VW Passat (EU), or Skoda Octavia
This car is a rarity in a sea of outlandish prices (though not cheap by any measure!), endless digital screens and touch buttons and wacky weirdo styling. Its quintessential Audi and a true Goldilocks - perfect size, large enough to carry four adults comfortably, but compact enough to hustle around, perfect balance between power and fuel economy (261 HP, 28+ mpg combined), with a 0-60 in the 4.8-5.2 s range more than enough power, well designed chassis and suspension (firm enough to handle corners but supple enough not to break your bones), comfortable and luxurious all in a sensible smart exterior design. Sadly, this is the last model year with the new A5 (equivalent to the current A4) undoing some of the good things.
@@kingdarius5252 LMAO, funny guy have you seen the grills of your BMW, they will compete with fishes on whose got a bigger mouth, and don't get me started with the interiors, sea of plastics and screens. The icing on the cake is these are made in Mexico (US market), whereas the A4 is actually made in Germany.
This is the last year or the a4 - Audi changed their naming convention and all a4 sedans and avants will now be: a5’s… 2dr coupe, 4dr liftback and 4dr avant(wagon)…. The traditional sedan with a trunk is gone 😢😢

I agree 💯
way overdue for a interior refresh

To its merit - the sport seats in this car seem thicker than standard ones. You could probably gain an inch or two by not having sports seats option.
Nah, as an owner I can tell ya the rear seats are definitely plenty unless you are like 6'-6'2" plus.
Seats look awesome.

LOL! If only. The grill is hideous. The rims are cartoonish. BMW is the only one who still gets it. The standard trim 330i has nice clean lines.

@@qwertyman9560 I like fish. Say what you want the Audi is still uglier lol
@@kingdarius5252 Can't argue with facts buddy, but if you want to be my guest
This may be peak A4 design after looking at the A5 that replaces it.
I have a '22 A4, a great car.
Hasn't changed at all.
Audi A4 really nice car
Hey Ben are you having mic issues. There's static on this video in places. Noticed on one of your videos too.
I think his beard got in the way. Should we all chip in and get him a haircut and trim?
Nice review Amish country

FUCK
Can someone pls explain why is there not a single a4 in the delership near me
Cause they are done making them, a4 has now become a5….
@tdub25 oh but I thought they will produce them for few more months my friend has a review channel he really wanted to review one.
You should check out the A5 for 2025 since Audi combined the two. Pretty good looking car from the pics I saw. Not quite sure of the front fascia yet.
@davidgolf3245 oh thanks will check it.
@@davidgolf3245 I will let my friend know too he might be interested to review it
You keep covering your mouth in your thumbnail pics….😂😂😂.
It looks creepy.
Has not aged well, it's dated and looks at least 5 years behind newly designed models for a premium brand
A 4 is ok. Go with an S5.👍
