NEW VIDEO EVERY WEDNESDAY!

[@Mekanik.b]

Watching this 7 years later and safe to say, the 3.0t has aged quite nicely 👌

[@1970borntorun]

Especially considering the B9 Generation was even more numb in the steering dept and less involving to drive. Now, I'm NOT saying this as a "Bimmer Snob", because I have owned AUDI's, Bimmers, Alfa's and Porsche. But, for the money you simply can NOT beat an E90 BMW 335i with the M-Sport Pkg and a Manual trans. The steering feel, chassis dynamics and overall driver-engagement are off the charts amazing. Of course, that was back when BMW actually cared driving enthusiasts.

[@sheenabean1831]

For real. It’s a gorgeous car. Super classic and elegant

[@hascrack3783]

Reading this 2 years later and watching 9 years later, the 3.0t is great. In the middle of building one.

[@paulmcmillan1732]

That was one of the easiest to watch and most informative car reviews I've seen, good job!

[@EngineeringExplained]

+Paul McMillan Thank you!

[@F1fan4eva]

+Paul McMillan I second this

[@zachg9065]

A true "paddle shift" car. So many people get excited about automatics with paddles. This car's dual clutch actually makes the paddles useful.

[@jrew3569]

N96ZG what makes the paddles more useful?

[@fahadbhattiea]

Jrew the dual clutch?

[@Saif0412]

The ZF8 torque converter auto gearbox is as good as any dct transmission. Reviewers highly rating it. Back in the days dct was faster than torque converter autos, not really the case anymore with a good auto.

[@AnissaEx]

@@Saif0412 The benefit of the DCT goes beyond just quicker shifting. It is essentially a manual gearbox internally so it is less complicated than an auto as well as being stronger and less parasitic loss. I haven't driven the 8spd auto so i can't speak on the driving feel but man does the DCT feel nice. So snappy and the downshifts are on point. These cars with the the sport diff are so fun to drive, you can get it to hang the ass end out so easily. If only they brought the avant over to the states I would definitely own one.

[@blondishasp572]

@@AnissaEx A DCT is NOT a manual transmission. It is an auto with twin shafts. Odd gears and even gears. The dual clutch part is how it disengages one shaft and engages the other. Aka how they shift gears. A manual has a clutch to separate the engine from the trans and you manual move gears on rails into place.

[@redwolfmendoza]

Thanks for that honest review. I was/am considering buying a 2014 S4. You saved me an awkward trip to a dealership for a test drive and helped me avoid aggressive salespeople.

[@lewish9602]

Consumer: so, audi why is there no dipstick? Audi: weight reduction, bro

[@terabyte7979]

My dip stick snapped off :)

[@sipsimies1588]

The sedan looks so boring

[@HuheJass]

@@sipsimies1588 part of what I loved about it. Very understated but relatively quick. Even one of Audi’s more reliable years, but very expensive to maintain especially if previous owners did not

[@jonathanritco9861]

It’s electronic..

[@DuSHit123]

Damn! I remeber watching your videos a long time ago and I remebered that you said that you quit your job. At first I was worried for you but now I see that you get to do reviews to many fine cars and your channel's pupolarity increased drastically. Keep up the good work!

[@EngineeringExplained]

Do what you love (that sustains you)!.

[@luciancastillo1337]

Engineering Explained yes ive been watching for a long time also like since middle school lol I think you improved in a major way.

[@edkwon]

I own a 2014 S4,you said you can't skip music tracks on the steering wheel. I wanted to correct you on that. The scroll button on the R controls volume like you said but the scroll wheel on the left causes track listing to show on your dashboard info display and you can scroll back or forwards to select a different track and click down to play that track

[@brennon6433]

Kayone73 this is a really old response...but you can’t skip if you’re using Bluetooth.

[@p0werl0ve]

how would you rate the comfort of the ride? I have an S4 B6 and it's pretty hard. How would you compare it to other models/brands?

[@billgates9490]

+

[@HuheJass]

Powerlove I know this is old comment but b6 to a b8.5 would be a noticeable bump in comfort mode. It’s not Bentley/Rolls comfort but it dampens most bumps enough to not be uncomfortable. But in dynamic it’s fairly stiff.

[@Rexus5]

As an owner of a 2000 S4, I have to say that Audi definatly improved in overall car quality. Also the the way you described the throttle response totally matched my response when I first drove my car! Excellent video!

[@PakiiiBux]

Watched the whole video! This is the first video iv seen on your channel and it was great! You went in depth and explained everything , keep it up!

[@EngineeringExplained]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! There's 200+ other videos should you care to explore the rest of the channel. :)

[@meeetallicaaaa]

yeah prob one of the best car reviews ive seen.

[@814gt]

I own a 2014 Audi S4. It's a glorious machine. From the bang and O stereo to the immediate torque, it's such a gratifying car to drive. 6 months later, I'm still taking the long way home from work. It pulls hard and feels closer to 380hp and 380ft lbs of tq. Highly recommend his car to anyone that wants a mid size 4 door sports car. Blends luxury with sport better than any car I can think of for the price

[@MonkeyDLuffy-db4fo]

814gt how is the maintenance?

[@TheSnoopy1750]

I have had my 2016 B8.5 S4 for a tad over 2 years and not a single issue. S4 forum members have reported few problems as the engine and electronics seem largely bulletproof for the 8.5 versions (although the B8s had some problems that were resolved in the mid-life B8.5 update).

[@patoubel]

It has been my car for the last 5 years and I'm still in love with it. I just had the ECU flashed with Unitronic program to give 390hp and 350 lb-ft and it's insane. I'm probably going to keep this amazing car 2-3 years.

[@Whitesquall123]

Hey, I was looking to pick up a used Audi s4 and I was wondering if you could let me know how reliable it was? Did you have to bring it into the garage often? I was going to buy an A4 a few years back but many drivers reported engine issues, but the S4 is a different engine. Any info you could share would be great.

[@Whitesquall123]

Oh nevermind, I just saw the other replies. I'm a bit of a n00b, whats a B8s?

[@MrDesiballer]

I have had this car for almost four years... And some of these features you have pointed out I have never seen, read or even knew existed! THANKS!

[@nickdudem]

Keep up the ultra detailed reviews dude, too many people just give specs and brief overviews. Guess attention to detail comes with the engineering territory. Great work!

[@Unb3arablePain]

I really love Audi and especially the S4 & S5, so I love this video! While the DCT is very nice and has launch control, I'd probably get the S5 with a manual. Overall though, these cars are the perfect mix between sportiness, luxury, and comfort.

[@BukkitViper]

Your reviews are awesome! You just need better shots and a bigger budget, than no one can stop you

[@EngineeringExplained]

Haha thanks. My budget is... nonexistent. :)

[@bouraan]

Buddy, Your videos are perhaps the most easiest to understand for a daily driver perspective. Kudos!

[@HydroCronus]

I'm actually a big fan of what Audi did with putting they key in all the way to start it instead of pushing the button to start. It also gives the choice to do either or which is great, because some people like it the other way. I just prefer having my key somewhere I can see it and won't lose it, and I'm old school like that? Idk but I see what they did. I like it.

[@EngineeringExplained]

Omar Alvarado I suppose, I just leave in my pocket and you never have to think about it, which is nice. Can open/lock the doors and start it without it ever leaving your pocket.

[@f2bclown]

I totally agree! My old Lexus only had the button and I always had to stuff the keys into the ash tray

[@TheRenalicious]

I remember driving that road 10 years ago in my '93 Porsche 968 and thinking how fun it was. The S4 is my new dream car, and I'm so looking forward to taking it back there to try out the bends and hills. Great video, and thanks for the nostalgia / dream reminder, you rock!! :D

[@aodlbxkskfbbfkfnqlegknenf781]

The most honest thumbnail in youtube, video literally starts from the thumbnail picture

[@IYIagiix]

This was a very helpful video. Been looking to get an S4. I like how you you went into detail with everything. Was extremely helpful for me since I’m someone who doesn’t know a lot about cars lol.

[@breakingbedrock7655]

Did you get it

[@Antto]

Wheel bolt caps are more like theft protection, because they are hard to get out without specific tool for the job.

[@audirx8]

Great review Ive had 3 different 2010 to 2015 s4 now You hit it pretty good. These cars are the best bang for your buck Tune and heat exchanger upgrade and dual pulley puts them at 500hp I ran 10.7 sec in my 2010 on race file

[@NYJ92]

Are the s4’s practical for daily driving? Say if it has about 40-50k miles as far as reliability.

[@jaddenmp]

TJ Decker I would say so. Just keep up with the maintenance & you should be fine :)

[@jonathanfrederic2870]

Jonathan Frederic How is it?

[@jonathanfrederic2870]

Honestly it's everything I had hoped for. A very luxurious interior, sleeper appearance, and more torque than I know what to do with plus 4 wheel drive. No complaints yet. It's a big upgrade from my previous car, a 2006 Civic SI.

[@FGuilt]

wow. keeping heat off the battery by placing it in the trunk. awesome. battery lasts much longer that way I bet. Good job Audi!

[@TheSnoopy1750]

Probably did it more for weight distribution as the engine hangs over the front wheels.

[@ianskinner6678]

@@TheSnoopy1750 I've got a 2012 S4 Estate & love it. Battery in back will help weight distribution but also there is no room in engine bay. They have an AGM battery as well so you need appropriate charger to avoid damaging it. Replacement is expensive & as battery is monitored by the car electronics it will need resetting to tell it a new battery is fitted. This monitoring is to deal with start/stop system & will shut down non essential loads like heated seats for example if the battery is struggling.

[@protoplasmic]

I just subscribed as well. Concise yet informative. No crazy adjectives, just the facts. Love it, thanks bud!

[@DrDinkle]

Had the opportunity to drive this car. Truly a fun car. Had the sensitive brakes and instant throttle as described in the video. Great drive!

[@raycustodio3348]

Still one of my favorite cars! I had a 2010 S4 with the 6 speed manual. The torque is so abundant that I find myself just using 2nd to 4th to 6th, unless I was really accelerating hard! Any issues with that practice of jumping gears?

[@EngineeringExplained]

+Ray Custodio Not really, so long as you're not doing it super aggressively. Can put a little extra wear on the synchros if you do it super quickly.

[@raycustodio3348]

+Engineering Explained Understood -- had 65K on the original clutch before I traded for a diesel. But that's another (unresolved) story...

[@taforth]

I have had a 2014 S4 from new and I basically agree with your assessment. They really improved the refinement (especially regarding the transmission) over the previous version (I had a 2010 version previously). The steering is the biggest weakness and is somewhat tire dependant. Regarding the throttle response, I remember test driving a 2010 model with the manual trans, and the throttle response of that car (especially for heel & toe) was second only to a CGT or McLaren F1. Lastly, this is one of the only Torsen diff. AWD cars that I have driven that can be easily induced to oversteer on throttle. It makes switching to a viscous diff AWD (say in an RS3) harder to contemplate 🤔

[@p0werl0ve]

how would you rate the comfort of the ride? I have an S4 B6 and it's pretty hard. How would you compare it to other models/brands?

[@brianruizy]

Awsome in depth and detailed review; ones like this are hard to come by. Surely looking forward to more of your videos!

[@nsemergey]

Man, thank you that you exist out there.

[@nosenseofhumor1]

:) oh hey its my car! year, color, the only difference is that i got the manual. there are a few points about the manual that i think are worth discussing but this review is of the dsg so i wont waste my breath. The only thing i would say is that the key being inserted to start the car is necessary for the spare key function or if your key's battery dies. The spare key has two parts, a plastic wallet key that can unlock the doors and glovebox, then in the glovebox is a shell that you put the wallet key into and then plug that into the key slot to start the car. handy if your key is broken or missing. oh and those slot things next to the shifter are for sure quarter holders!

[@coupeofyo]

Ah! I forgot how much I enjoy these reviews of yours. Thanks for the video, man! Great review.

[@paulajlouny5063]

I noticed you keep putting shifter in Manual mode before you use the paddle shifters. You really don't need to, for as soon as you tap any of the paddles it switches to M mode automatically. I never seem to need to flip the shifter to Manual Mode. Great detailed review

[@veeerzes]

I can fully understand the amount of fun driving that car :) The performance should be about the same as my 335 HP Golf mk6 R and I absolutely love to drive it (also has the dual clutch gearbox)

[@tofu_RS]

Wow-- this review exceeded my expectations! Most auto-journalistss fall short when evaluating: *1) the technical aspects* of a car (new or interesting powertrain technology // engineering solutions), and *2) how the car drives* (damper+spring behavior // body control // pedal feel // steering feel)-- but you did an excellent job of covering both aspects. I think its for those reasons we like Chris Harris' reviews, and also *your* reviews.

[@caribeach2641]

That dashboard is stuffed with goodies, but still pretty much looks like the one in my 2012 Jetta.😆

[@f2bclown]

This is a really good review. You are one of the few people that does a review where you actually learn about the car. I have a 2013 s4 and some of the things you pointed out like the car feeling like its moving out of lane even if straights. Just so you know that issue is now fixed with vagcom and it was the adaptive steering that audi implemented. Through vagcom you can turn it off, getting rid of that. Oh an the fake engine soundtrack can be turned off too by pulling a fuse that specifically relates to the engine sound amplification. I tried driving with it off for a few weeks and honestly I like it with the sound actuators better. I like my cars loud and the sound is nice. The problem is that when a car is loud you get a lot of attention. This solves it by giving you the noise that you want inside the car but not as much outside. Smart move I think. But... All of that didn't matter after I bought an exhaust haha. Good video brother. Keep it up. Hopefully soon you will be able to review a supercar!

[@sephiros9883]

Owning an 2014 s4 for the past 2 years, i never had the steering issues you noticed on the highway. Must have been something wrong with the car. I know audi made a steering firmware update a while back, maybe it wasn't applied to the car. On the brakes I totally agree with you, and in a parking lot I still find them over sensitive. The thing that I love beside the incredible throttle response is how well the car mask its weight. It doesn't feel like 4000lbs at all. The phenomenonal grip is probably the reason. My only real complaint about the s4 is that you have to gun it into very illegal limits to have fun on the road. It's too serious and lack playfulness.

[@SirSchmittyX]

+sephiros9883 The steering issue they fixed with a replacement part for part of the power steering system. If you bought it used it was probably fixed or you bought one after they had already addressed the issue.

[@spinedctr]

I had the exact same issue with my 2015 A4, although the audi dealership I had look at it couldn't find any issue, and didn't admit it was a known problem.

[@MrBiggyfly]

hey, just want to add up something. the real reason why there is a stop/start button and an actual hole for the key fob is because you can charge your key fob by putting it inside the hole to start the engine. So once in a while you gotta put it to start the engine while charging the key itself.

[@carllynch8798]

I have enjoyed your videos, your theory lessons are priceless .. having 2 Audi's I am biased.... but with all the innovation, style, performance and quality that the car delivers.. I was expecting some speechless jaw dropping moments especially cornering and handling in general in comparison to other cars you has tested... Audi/Benz&BMW have their own elite patents and ahead of the game.. Great Video Nonetheless. There is a saying that once you get something, you take it for granted... My Audi S4 up and down a bending mountain I have never gotten tired of and wonder if i ever will

[@ElfinHilon10]

You really seem to know your stuff. This is pretty cool. Consider me subbed :) Btw, the torque in the steering wheel when on the freeway is either 1 of 2 things. 1. Adaptive steering OR 2. Lane Departure control. As far as I know, both can be turned off so you don't have that issue.

[@TheSnoopy1750]

I have a 2016 S4 and the 19" Continentals have a lot of tram lining so maybe that's also a factor.

The reason the keyfob can be used to start the car using the dash slot is because the slot also recharges the battery in the keyfob.

Great review, I also notice that yaw that happens in the steering. Seems to happen when there is bad undulations in the road, I find it to be discomforting a bit. In regards to the fake sound coming into the cabin, I don't think it's as a result of the lack of engine noise, rather there's so much sound deadening in the cabin that the noise doesn't naturally transfer to the interior that well when you're driving it.

That feed back that your getting is Audi’s torque steer. It pretty much keeps the wheel straight for you when you hit the gas. Try it from a standstill you’ll see what I’m talking about

I just want to point out that when someone sits in the back, its been the same since I was kid in the 60's, you straddle the center hump, you don't put your feet on it. Thanks for the video.

9:01 That's where the switch to open and close the top is located in the convertible version of the A5/S5/RS5. The A4 line shares the center console with the A5 line.
