Now approaching its 6th model year, the 2014 Audi A4 still offers luxury buyers an enticing blend of technology, luxury, and sportiness. But with some many fresh choices in an ever crowded market, has Audi made enough updates to keep this model high on your shopping list?

[@blocksterz]

Hello ..I came back from the future to check this car because I can only afford it now

[@mikematthews3409]

Me too

[@regchen3083]

me four

[@Yonick1999z]

Lmaooo same 😭

[@GMKDP]

😂😂😂

[@mirandanwehla8355]

Right.

[@michaeldamiani8048]

Even this generation of the A4 has been out for a while I still love the way it looks and I would want to buy this

[@betterbeavailable]

Still looks much better than the "competition". That's why I got one of these.

[@Pathtoadulthood]

How has it held up? Im looking into a 2015 a4 6MT with 50k miles for like 20k...

[@betterbeavailable]

@@Pathtoadulthood Good so far. 0 repairs, just needs oil change every 15tkm/10tmi. Mine has 135.000km (84.000mi). It loses oil but not that much.

[@adenbaksh4843]

Do you have a 2014 ?

[@samuelwh4775]

@@betterbeavailable I have a 2010 A4 Quattro with 51k miles/ 78k kms and it’s consuming 1 litre of oil every 350miles/500 kms, I got the car about 1 month ago and I was thinking to get rid of it but I found a solution that’s not cheap but I’m going to install the Integrated Engineering forged pistons, piston rods and bearings and that will solve the oil consumption issue permanently and I’m actually going to change the timing chain just to save the labour because the engine is going to be open, my timing chain seems to be ok but I want to save on the labour because if I do it later I’m gonna have to pay for another 10 hours of labour to do that

[@ivanc8507]

I was so against this car until I drove one as a rental through Silvercar. Since I had one as a rental for a roadtrip weekend, I was more than shocked at the way it drove and the quality of the interior. I recommend everyone who is looking at the entry level luxury sports sedan to test drive one!!

[@ivanc8507]

+Ivan C BTW you can rent an A4 for about $40-50 bucks at silvercar for a weekend. Use promo code LOUNGEBUDDY and my referral, IC2 , (www.silvercar.com/users/sign_in?referrer_code=IC2) and that'll get you about $100 off a rental. Just as a tip, try it out!!

[@nickomiya]

+Ivan C Thanks for the Tip!! I just rented an A4 using your referral name " IC2 " and got my rental for this weekend for $48!!! Thanks for the Tip!

[@vlad1889]

I have been watching your reviews for a while now, enjoyed them a lot. They are getting much better! Keep up the good work!

[@matgab]

best review ever. Great job! I test drove BMW, Mercedes and Aud all new. Went with the A4 Sline, here in Canada all wheel drive is a must and Quattro is by far superior, if not the best in the auto industry.

Car still looks great for something that came out in 2008. I'm sure the new 2016 model will lead the class again in elegant understated design. Front end looks awesome

[@nightshadeaudi]

140k miles here. Replaced motor mounts, PCV valve, timing chain, shocks & springs (to lower the car). Car barely burns any Oil, I change it every 3-5k. Also running an APR stage 1 for 33k miles. Great car!

I just turned 16 and I really wanted a Jeep Wrangler unlimited, but my dad pulled up with a 2013 a4 supercharge and I was very happy this car is so awesome audis last so long, they're comfortable, and just a good car in general you will not be disappointed if you buy this!!

[@tonymorales428]

Cannot wait to get the 2014!!!!! Currently own a 2008 Audi A4 2.0 SLine! Fantastic vehicle

[@adenbaksh4843]

Did you get it and if so how is the reliability ?

[@andrewgauthier5433]

Very impressed with your reviews! Came across this while watching your other videos for interest. I had a 2013 Audi A4 2.0T Quattro with the 8speed ZF-sourced transmission and you hit the nail on the head with every point in your video. Conservative styling, almost forgettable, but still pretty fun to drive if you want to, and Quattro makes it much more enjoyable in the winter.

[@7477238]

+Ryan Santigo Does your engine eat oil like the rest of the 2.0T motors? Audi somehow says it's normal for the motors to chug a quart of oil per 1000miles which is unacceptable.

[@carbrickscity]

Glad that there's still a manual option.

[@andrewcbro]

Best car reviewer on you tube

[@39Shernandez]

Great review really helped my buying decision!

[@justinbrown2570]

Thank you soyfan and 2theredline for finally reviewing an Audi but can you please do an a7 s7 or rs7. Maybe even an a8 or s8 ( if you can get your hands a hold of it) lol. Thanks in advance!

[@smoothlou425]

great review thanks dude

[@suneilkumar]

Great review. If you've driven the Mk7 GTI, could you briefly compare that to this A4 in terms of comfort and performance?

[@fergoesdayton]

Motor Trend tested 0-60 at 5.8s. Car and Driver 0-60 time of 5.6s (Rollout time included the numbers are 6.1s and 5.9s respectively) That's pretty quick.

[@xLOVExGODx]

I would greatly appreciate you making a review with the 2015 Audi A4... Do you feel as though the BMW is a better car in its class?

[@mountainhobo]

It's 20/29 mpg on PREMIUM fuel. You should mention that. You cannot use regular gas in it.

[@theredline]

In the luxury class, you pretty much assume that premium fuel is required and most buyers are used to it already.

[@pikachupowers]

you can use regular gas in it, the engine will adjust the compression rates and you can use it no problem

[@mountainhobo]

analanalyst Are you SURE? Audi says regular fuel can cause problems with turbos, and that premium is REQUIRED, not optional.

[@bneyens]

mountainhobo The owners manual says you can use lower grade gas in emergencies to get you down the road, but you are suppose to fill with premium as soon as possible.

[@bk2les]

I mean you can but you'll probably **** up your engine.

[@mikev.2945]

I gotta tell you, in the last few years, I've driven several models from Audi and BMW. I owned a B7 (2008) A4 quattro s-line and when I would get a B8 for a loaner, I didn't like it as much. Still a nice car - Germans are the best IMO - but just not as nimble and fun as mine. The best modern car I drove from them was the 2013 A6 with the 3.0T because it was more balanced with power and size. The A3 sedan sounds intriguing, and funny enough, it's basically the same size as my B7. And outfitted with the 2.0T and quattro, pretty much the same car only updated. Given all that, we were committed to getting a new Audi, but wound up with a 428i..

[@Playboysmurf1]

Soo good that the knob is designed for right hand drive. Love it.

[@assordante2205]

Germans drive left hand drive cars and they don't give a shit about the Brits, so no, they didn't do that with them in mind.

[@boomataco]

2023 just bought a blue with chocolate interior. It had 100k on it and paid 13k. It was garaged its entire life. I absolutely loveeee it

[@Boywonderz_]

How’s it been holding up?

[@boomataco]

Well. It got stolen lmao. So not good but it was great. 😫🥲

[@theprossmdude9431]

I am a 13 year old watching this, if there is anyone who is close to that age please comment, and before u laugh at me I know everything that he is saying. I even know what is a crankshaft, drivetrain, differential etc. So don't hate. A really good and detailed review sofyan.

[@xxspxaghettsr7352]

Your 20 now. Remember when you commented this😭

[@spartanandremarieroux2624]

I'm looking for a first car, and kind of need help choosing a car. Should I get a 2008 Audi A4 2.0T, a 2005 Infiniti G35 coupe, or a 2007/2006 BMW 3 Series 328i?

[@georgeradulescu2569]

Hello I have watched most of reviews BMW, GTI, AUDI, TOYOTA AND HONDA. Please tell a car ( model ) 2012-2013 , have a better feeling, feedback from steering wheel ???? I have driven before many cars with hydraulic steering wheel, very good feeling, but now my golf with electric steering is light, very insecure at high speed. Regards.

[@danilocastillo5913]

How do I decline the rear seats to access the trunk when battery is discharged?

[@dsi19961]

will u be reviewing a 5th gen prelude soon? (type Sh maybe?)

[@juhthreef]

I don't know if I could say the price difference is just a few thousand at least for this year. I am a huge BMW fan and have owned them in the past but I just picked up a new 2016 audi A4 because the pricing was just right. I got the premium plus, nav, smart key, blind spot, MMI, etc for $38.5K with a sticker of 44620. The BMW 328 with similar options including nav, blind spot, 3 spoke wheel, etc was 56K MSRP ~45K after discounts and negotiations. Quite a difference.

[@dontusehername]

+Ja M Exactly, the difference is too large to make sense. Great choice with the A4, my father just booked one. The test drive was what sold it for us!

[@Reiko11788]

Hi redline, what do you prefer between Audi A4 and Volkswagen CC?

[@MrSmokeingood]

Would you buy one with 100k and if you did what maintenance would you expect it to have done

[@pascutia]

Do you prefer this car over the 3 series?

[@FiredEmpire]

I will definitely remember your "fat baby" joke whenever I see audis from now on lol

[@perezfamilyadventures3514]

wow, you was driving in my old neighborhood!!! Small world.

[@ViciousJackal16]

Great review as always. I'm curious to know if the A5 is just the coupe version of the A4? and are they the same size?

[@theredline]

That's correct, but the A5 is slightly wider, lower, and shorter than the A4, but they ride on the same platform.

[@mikev.2945]

I've driven both and in case it matters, the A5 has less leg room in the back.

[@eugenethomas3767]

Are you gonna be reviewing the S4?

[@_shubham_s]

I'm confused is it a Prestige or Premium Plus because he said both in the video?

[@bsmccrunner4]

Car looks awesome.

[@gdogunit12]

I love my a4

[@TJFitzpatrickRetd]

The direction of the scroll button that you complained about is just as counter-intuitive in right-hand drive models. Three months later, I'm still making the same mistakes.

I hate being one of those guys but can someone tell me the song at the very beginning of the video? Or is it privately made by 2theRedline ?

[@louiloui4707]

Actually it’s got a 7 speed transmission. The one with the 8 speed is the fwd

[@shahzadqayum3678]

The tfsi on an audi a4 always has an oil issue. It drinks too much oil. Either a piston problem or valve seals. But it drinks engine oil.

[@panama-canada]

I like the noise the engine gives out.

You said premium plus and prestige. Which one is it

[@henrykwan1221]

I think Audi is falling behind aesthetically. The refresh looks great but it really does look like an very upscale Jetta.

Henry Kwan that's it! I was trying to think of what it reminded me of for a while

[@dixondoughty3121]

Bmw 3 series way nicer

[@trinidadcardona7665]

Henry Kwan I was disappointed in the lack of features in the interior. Literally just a radio and no aux or usb plugs - also can’t rest your arm and drive like I could in the 3series

[@louiloui4707]

Interior needs a lot of work but the exterior I actually do not agree with u. The car has a nice aggressive look and still kind of different to a Jetta. Honestly never though the two looked the same

[@weshasarrived2560]

A new Audi A3 would cost around 31k. Of course that's the lowest trim level.

[@marc1093280]

The A4 is one of the better cars in the segment, but could use more power and torque.

[@bighands69]

That is If you want more power and torque. Most people who buy this car do not for a sports car. They would go for an S or RS class.

[@madhurkapoor100]

[@lowereastsideastrologist7769]

Too bad B8s have transmission problems. In my 2014, 8-speed, once in a while, I feel an abnormal jerking, when I am slowing and the car shifts between 2nd and 1st, as I come to a stop. I've heard a lot about this issue on the Internet, and there are many proposed solutions, including Resetting or Reprogramming the TCM, or flushing the ATF (AUDI claims the fluid will last a "LIFETIME" and doesn't recommend flushing for my model/year). It's still under warranty, but it's hard to replicate so, unfortunately, the dealer will probably brush it off.

I am glad i bought the new A3 now.

[@PivotMasterD2]

Why do you like the a3? i would love to know.

[@ShaunJW1]

Nik Karim It feels like a quality car after driving a Land Rover for so long. The interior is well made, I see a lot of old Audi's on the road so the engines must be good as well. I test drove a Merc and BMW and was not impressed with quality, seems those two make their cars to only last for 150 000 km then you have to buy a new one. The Audi is also a clean looking car inside and out, and with the Adaptive Cruise control and emergency brake assist its pretty safe as well. It is also relaxing to drive on long trips, you just sit back and relax.

As you are in school and working purchase what you know you can afford. I don’t plan to keep my A4 for more than 2 year. Hopefully by then I can upgrade to a 15-16 S4 or C7 A7 because I know the 3.0T is a good motor if maintained. As for you go for what you like so far the 2.0 is treating me well, I know of their oil burning issues (idk if the 17+ still has that issue) but I haven’t ran into that issue as of so far

They are a simple beautiful car and they do not need to make it look like the rest. It was never an ugly car and still is not an ugly car. There are not many cars that beat the Audi in understated looks. BMW have changed their cars look so many times and they have been hit and miss.
