2009 Audi A4/ Driving Impressions

[@mannypeligroso]

Excellent review !!! I watched many car review videos in the past, but the guy in this one did a real good job explaining every aspect and weighing the pros and cons.

[@LoveTheCity123]

My dad got me the 2010 Audi A4 Prestige model about 2 days ago for my first car. It is a very fast and luxurious car and that is what I love about it.

[@StormAutoAdventures]

What a nice car! Audi really got it right with this one =) I love everything about it & I can't wait to test drive both the 2.0T & the 3.2 quattro sedan's. I've already driven a B7 S4, that's what got me into audi actually.

[@AlosDiallo]

Love my a4 and will check out the 09 for sure. Thanks for the great review. Cheers

[@RobertMayfair]

@rdforbe It's the same effect a camera has on wheels when they are turning. LEDs flash too fast for us to see, but that flickering shows up on camera

[@triads4life]

@rdforbe On Audi models with LED drls the leds the drls dim with the turn singals. so if you signal left, the left side drl will dim and so forth.

[@vwestlife]

Nice background music.

[@bssb12398]

does the moonroof on this only tilt or does it slide back also?

[@TheAkastewie]

man..u so lucky..dis is my dream car..when im done wit navy,im gona buy this car..definitely

[@Hubscharber]

The reliability problems started in the mid-90's because European manufacturers started using eco-friendly parts - which weren't up to scratch. Every German car made before '93-94 runs like a watch, check out the Merc W124. Also, many Japanese manufacturers have been having the same problem. You should see the amount of recalls Toyota has issued in the past 3 years.

[@dracolnyte]

are you sure it comes with a manual? i live in canada and the audi reseller told me that it only comes in automatic... and the audiusa shows only tiptronic as the transmission.... kinda disappointed.. but overall great car ;)

[@rdforbe]

When he changes lanes at 2:36-2:38 it looks like the headlights/led daytime running lights flicker as his car moves from one lane to the other. Is this part of the lane change warning system that hes talking about or am I just seeing things? If anyone knows what I'm talking about please shoot me a response. Thanks!

[@ThousanWhite]

Hey Kelsey, what car do YOU drive?

[@yugoterror]

ok i have been reading on a lot of forums that people are having electrical and suspenison and engine problems with their brand new audis, apparently audi puts out a lot of lemons, and they have a lot of problems, is this true? im reading stories where people are having serious problems within not even 50k, i wanna buy an audi but im not rich or anything id have to get a used one, is there only serious problems with the 02 and up models?, shud i got for a 2001 down? heelp THANKS!

[@tafka100]

drives great, especially with the esp off.that esp is a bit dangerous it lets you get into a slide and then it wont let you do anything to correct it, just sit back and hope you will stop before the ditch :O

[@drzflyest4]

@jcpturbo00 i agree i have an a4 and the car is too heavy for the power output but after a chip its over from s dig atleast.

[@fabsbsd]

Nice car, you can have the new 2009 3.2 V6 quattro, 0-100kph in 6.2s. 335i is supposed to do 0-100kph in 5.5s, but BMW puts max values and Audi puts average values so it would be nice to see them in the racing track.

[@kevinmsft]

@izzy05051 Just like BMW is luxury version of Mini Cooper? Ferrari is sporty version of Fiat?

[@clvnblnkee]

@jcpturbo00 You were talking about how slow it was and that your G37 would beat it easily. Of course it would because it has much more horsepower.

[@MuskokaMudFish]

Ya i must agree with you i had the 09 a4 and it was nice but loved the cts so much better in every way so i got rid of my a4 and got an 09 cts

[@clvnblnkee]

@jcpturbo00 Look at the horsepower difference... and A4's only have 2.0T now.

[@dmcpopp]

hey his a expert in car's. He get's paid to analyze based in self experienced opinion not paid to be hatin' like yall doing. knock it off.

[@zippiri]

E' fantastica, e la cosa più bella che a parte il motore e il fatto che non abbia i manettini al volante è uguale alla miaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!

[@Manbeast222]

@TheAkastewie I think it's hilarious that we're both in the Navy and we want this exact car when we're done...lmao

[@dirttbiker8]

it only comes manual on the 2.0 i know, im pretty pissed too. i want the 3.2 manual

[@yuning83]

@jcpturbo00 I wouldn't compare a g37 to this, if you want to compare performance, the S4 or RS4 is the one you should compare with. In which case, g37 isn't all that great anymore.

[@loopba]

of course it does...it also starts at 10 grand more and everyone has one. Congratulate yourself.

[@BillySlone]

Volkswagen is the parent company to Audi. The A4 is Audi's (luxury) version of the Volkswagen Jetta (NOT the Passat). Exactly like how a Lincoln Navigator is a luxury version of a Ford Expedition, or how a Cadillac Escalade is a luxury version of the Chevrolet Tahoe. Nobody is putting Audi down, everyone knows they are immensely nice luxury cars with top notch quality. Facts are just facts...

[@BillySlone]

It vents, as well as opens.

[@Daniel7860]

I LIVE AUDI

[@xXLiftedXx]

i just bought a 2001 a4. it was nice while it lasted for six hours until the engine gave out 6hrs later. but the audi dealer ship is swapping it for me so its all good

[@amer1cancer2753]

The audi A4 has a way better interior compared to the C300 or IS250. The C300 gets fake leather and the IS250 have plastic trim. Audi's are renowned for their interior quality and design. The real complaints are the FWD, 17" Rims, and exhaust on the base model.

[@Billy4202]

Oh hell yes. I got the V6 one to go up to $54000+ fully loaded.

[@YellowSSS]

Might just be the camera... I see it too. If you take a camera and film a tv screen or computer screen you'll see it moving up and down.

[@looknow]

i cant believe hes an assistant producer. sounds like hes reading off a spec sheet and never gave any information you wouldn't otherwise know. i also guess mom didn't get to update his wardrobe since he likes to rock those undersized clothes

[@Hubscharber]

Lexus is took off so well because they were essentially copies of Mercs that costed less. It's the exact opposite in Europe, where there are long established manufacturers and a comprehensive dealership network. Even Infiniti isn't sold in Europe. Lexus is successful today because of marketing and a widespread dealership network, and being less expensive than BMW, etc.

[@Amcacs5654]

Is is pronounced Ah-tee or Out-tee ?

[@HaloHamstur]

@83cajht they don't have the same stuff Mercedes-Benz is also part of Porsche and vw but Audi is competition to them.

[@manny2k10]

Exactly.

[@yuning83]

@jcpturbo00 That being said, I don't think the G37 is trash. You don't have to tell me how great the motor is, I have a 370z. But I will never brag that it owns everything else.

[@9cyclop]

@manny2k10 yeah i think that audi have a much more good style then others ))

[@occultdestroyer]

It's AW-DEE.. Look how it's pronounced in Wikipedia. BTW, I have no idea why you people gave me a thumbs down for my previous comment. It's AW-DEE, NOT OW-DEE.

[@yuning83]

@jcpturbo00 Well the infiniti might have more power than the A4, that doesn't mean everyone loves it's look and it's design. Maybe people prefer less power and more fuel efficiency. Or maybe they sits better in the Audi and loves the interior design. Either way, calling it overpriced trash is your way of saying your car is so much better, which is kids stuff. I didn't pick the G37 becasue I didn't like how it looked from the front, less fuel efficient, and I can't stand the interior clock thing.

[@yuning83]

@jcpturbo00 I'm sorry for being shallow, I don't even own the A4 that I bought for my mom. I own 3 cars, and let me tell you the amount of time and research I do before buying any car. G37 which I have saw and drove, isn't all that refined compare to the A4. Trust me I looked at all the competitiors and a class up and down. By the way, power and price aren't the only two things I look at when buying the car. You think you are spoiled? All my cars are paid off. I don't do the monthly crap.

[@yixxt]

I dont think so. The year the first Toyota Corolla came to the US was the the year it was it beat any European car sold in the US every year since, And also thats why Lexus took off so quick aswell, paying alot of money for a luxury car should mean you get a car that does not break down. As such the Lexus LS as earned the praise of the most reliable car in the world.

[@yuning83]

@jcpturbo00 Either way, I wouldn't buy a G37 over this car. If I wanted power and wanted it cheap, I'd went with something more powerful, maybe the new mustang GT for the same price. The only disappointment with the A4 perhaps is the navigation system. Other than that, I like it very much. power and tqr comes much faster in this turbo little ride, where G37 you'll need to rev to max to attain all your numbers. Next time you buy a car, make sure you try them all, wait... you gonna claim you did.

[@sspope]

I was wondering too. He basically said that BMW is on pair with Infinity and Audi is inferior. It all sounds like a bad joke.

[@kevinmsft]

What's your point? So you are agreeing with me that Audi is not VW unlike what izzy05051 said?

[@obhatti]

Aw-dee is probably the best phonetic spelling I can give you.

[@HalfBreedMix]

I think you people should give this Kelsey guy a break; yeah, he reminds me more of a Geek Squad Agent than a car guy, but he isn't doing that bad of a job. He did cover his butt by saying this A4 is a better "every day car". I would rather have the G35 or Bimmer, but again I wouldn't use those as DD'ers either.

[@yuning83]

@jcpturbo00 lol you own a g37, enough said about your opinion on any cars.

[@konrad1101]

@Manbeast222 im goin into the Navy in a few days and i want this car haha

[@BillySlone]

I agree completely, but that wasn't the point. =P

[@bobby4500]

audi is the best

[@rshan92]

dude we went to germany to research and buy an r9 for my uncle... they pronounced it ow-dee, its german for listen... i speak german too lol

[@Manbeast222]

@marksjersey856 Who the heck said I joined the Navy for a car? lol I'm saying that's what I would get immediately after training and i'm excited bro...

[@lowincash]

that's cuz japanese cars have great liability...moreso than the german counterparts. not only are they very reliable cars, they are just great cars too. don't be so "bloody" close minded.

[@LoveTheCity123]

@jcpturbo00 Are you a owner of the new A4 like I am ? No. So your " opinion " does not matter.

[@Robbieifyoucan]

lol im sorry i meant to reply to izzy, my mistake

[@michaelthepsycho]

The coin-flipping when it comes to used cars is more prominent than new ones, a price you pay with the depreciated price...

[@Manbeast222]

@konrad1101 Dude wtf is this going to be a tradition for sailors or what? haha! The first thing Im going to do when basic training is finished is walk into an Audi lot and walk off with a 2011 A4. Yes, our pay sucks but hey, when we're officers or at least higher in rank and get big salary increases it won't hurt anymore lol This car no matter what year is worth it. Good luck btw, I'm shippin around a month.

[@savagekei05]

gigimanjo, are you still in high school? It should be "he doesn't know" not "he don't know".

[@manny2k10]

bmw and merc are good.. but i always prefered audi over them

[@Engeri]

I still think Audi's look way better and are better to drive.

[@yuning83]

@jcpturbo00 I paid 40k for a loaded a4. that's 2k more than your g37. comes with 4 years warranty. The only thing I didn't get for that car was the magnetic suspension which the salesman was trying to sell me for 1k more. You think you look at websites and you know their price. lol Check your own comment everything you say is around power and price. Find me a Japanese car at 30k that can beat the A4 for me. Please don't give me a car that just have more hp and cheaper. I didn't buy a4 to race.

[@dirttbiker8]

haha oh thanks

[@BillySlone]

Right... Nobody is denying that. Haha.

[@yuning83]

@jcpturbo00 you suddenly appreciate cars now? Well let the people who read these comments be the judge. lol every brand has it's good and it's bad. Calling another great car trash is what your problem is. If Audi was so much trash, there wouldn't be as many audi on the road, yet you see them everywhere. There is not such thing as one brand is superior to all. The way to appreciate cars is to recognize each car's great points.

[@tubeyou443]

It's Ow-dee

[@yuning83]

@jcpturbo00 You make it sound like infiniti is so much cheaper. And it's not. The g37 gets around 20mpg that's the truth. I know cause my car does the same mpg. I could get a S4 for 45k. Which maybe couple thousands more than the packed up G37. It's all about what you want in a car. Just because you don't want certain things doesn't make the car trash. Talking about VW, the GTI has consistantly score 1st over cars with more power. Why? I leave that to you to figure out.

[@DualofChaos]

nice car close to a bmw.

[@tonydano]

dressed up jetta

[@rshan92]

lol but thats how they pronounced it cuz i used to call it aw-dee but they corrected me

[@Juju23King]

@iixorbiusii LOL!

[@rshan92]

lol yupp

[@rshan92]

its actually ow-dee lol

[@dracolnyte]

oh well, wait for the S4 then lol

[@clvnblnkee]

@jcpturbo00 Ah well people who really like it would, Oh and Lexus'...meh, they feel a bit cheap.

[@occultdestroyer]

It's pronounced as AW-DEE... NOT OW-DEE

[@occultdestroyer]

I speak German -_-

[@golfmaniac007]

@TheAkastewie don't do it ...its a money pit.

[@yuning83]

@jcpturbo00 lol, let everyone judge who's the kid here. I did buy for my mom, that's why I paid for the car. TSX is entry lux not in the same class as A4. They sell the TSX under honda instead of Acura outside of the US. But of course with your little knowledge about cars, you don't know that. I'm just amazed by your name calling. All of which you said is definately a definition of you. Barely can afford leasing a g37. You has every single trait of an infiniti fanboy. Keep it up,I need the laugh

[@gaae2000]

...definitely this dude wasnt born to be in a German car, think Honda or Lexus for him instead.

[@foxfagottjunge6011]

Take the word "ouch". Remove the "ch" and use the pronunciation of "ou" and add it to "dee". Ou(ch)dee = Audi

[@Billy4202]

A little over $32000

[@EllysaE]

only 2.0L ppppsssht

[@mozarkozark]

my Mercedes clk550 would own that shizzzz

[@Erich2142]

lmao

[@yuning83]

@jcpturbo00

[@jeanbanahn]

lol

[@gigimanjo]

Who put this guy in charge? He's still in high school bs about things he don't know.

[@yuning83]

@jcpturbo00 I love how your brag about the nissan brand now. lol Totally kids stuff. But keep it up. haha

[@83cajht]

okay stop the sayning Audi = VW.. so what. VW is a big firm Audi,Seat,Skoda and in the heavy end Porche and Bugati. And Audi then you can say Audi=lambogini... if dis agre Audi=VW=Audi don't matter tierd of reading/hering it all the time. Yes i agre it is the same engins the same tech. have you ever wonded if it somthing to do whith Bosch? tech. No i don't have a "thing" for Audi or VW. and many of the new tech in a BMW is in an Audi. ill say agin BOSCH i Have "spoken".

[@KiloByte69]

Agreed, why is this guy reviewing cars? He doesn't know what he's talking about.

[@yuning83]

@jcpturbo00 lol, you lease them, then you don't own any cars at all. That's sad, enough said about that. I doubt you have three cars anyway. I see a kid trying hard to brag about his ride. Nothing more. That's sad x 2. Go to Europe and you'll see old audis, bmws, benz running around still kicking like you see old honds here in the US. Reliability of the Japanese cars is made god by kids like you. I don't dislike Japanese cars, in fact two of my cars are Japanese, 1 American.

[@yixxt]

Nah European cars are the worst for reliability, i mean for the last 15 years in Germany the most reliable cars year after year have been ether Honda or Toyota

[@tcvicesquad]

Americans haven't got a bloody clue about cars! How can they constantly compare the German greats with pieces of cheap tat like Infiniti and Acura?

[@clvnblnkee]

Asian? He's Caucasian.
