These young lads are actually doing a very good job at reviewing cars.

[@CarConfections]

The A4 has went to the 2018 model year with just a few changes! With the addition of some new safety equipment and an available Black Optic package, do you think it'll start stealing sales from the BMW 3-Series of Mercedes C-Class? Also, don't forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE, please!

[@jeebs621]

This thing with the black optic is sick, best purchase ever made

[@sarabjeetpulaha4582]

@Car Confections this is one of the best reviews I have seen so far. No music (which I think is not required as it hinders natural car "sounds" such as door closing/opening, etc), slow and steady - very detailed, clear voice and presentation and excellent camera work! Thanks a lot for reviewing one of my favorite cars. Keep rocking!

[@CarConfections]

Thank you so much!! That means a lot!

[@davidwolf226]

Nice job, again, with this review. I test drove the 2017 A4 Prestige package about a month ago and was very impressed. While I've been a Lexus driver for about 10 years (with no complaints), this Audi has me considering it as a change to a German car maker.

Thank you for the amazing review. I especially love your detailed “point-of-view” overview of the entire interior, particularly in areas such as the soft plastics/leatherette covering of the transmission tunnel. Not many reviewers go into such scrupulousness to inspect that area. Applaud the attention to detail!

[@CarConfections]

Thanks Kevin! We appreciate it!

[@ML-yn9yu]

They should have called it an exterior/ interior walkaround review, not a "full" review. They dont ever drive the cars which one of the more important aspects of a review, of course they may have been too young to do so at the time of filming.

I was considering the MB C-Class, but man this car is just so elegant!

Just got rid of my B8.5 S5 for one of these. I had a B8.5 S4 before that and although I miss the sportiness, I’m overall very happy with my new A4. Honestly better than the competition in it’s class.

[@YuriUK]

I own same 17’ A4 Quattro with premium plus package in white as well and already put 28,000km on it since I bought it in the beginning of last year and honestly I’m in love with this car, which for me normally goes away after your first few months of owning a new car, but with this car it’s almost a year and I still looking forward to drive it every day I’m 43 and 28 years experience of driving My car has a different 2.0T Engine with 252 hp in 273 feet as well as 10 spoke aluminum rims 18 inch Maybe mine is a Canadian version as per US they might make them with the smaller engines- no idea BTW I love Black interior wear beige like this one I’ve had it on many cars in my life and after a year or two they don’t look as fresh as black one does. And one more thing here in Canada we don’t have S-Line Prestige that wouldn’t come with bottom flat steering with S-Line badge on, 12” in dash all Color multimedia screen, as well as 8” in the middle dash screen, but I’m guessing in US different packages which in my eyes is awesome as long as it’s with in $5000 mark You can check out my vehicle on my channel I wish now that I would get Prestige S-Line for 7k CAD more it’s worth it. It’s about 5300 USD

M A you trade a mid range Audi for an entry level Lexus. You are comparing apple and oranges. Get into a GS Lexus and you will forget about the A4

[@nsdadanceacademy]

Well, the mercedes is bad, it doesn’t even come with full LED head lights and tail lights, they only come with LED turn signals, so reject, the bmw 420i is good, but the 420i is just a 4cylinder, not turbocharged, so therefore, take the Audi, but take a test drive for all of them and choose one for your self, this is just a recommendation.

Good review, but one key info was flawed. The engine is a 2.0 turbo 4 that produces 190 hp and 236 lb ft torque

[@CarConfections]

Hi Burnie! I know it's confusing, but Audi does offer a "A4 Ultra" model (which has the de-tuned engine you are talking about). We talk about it specifically at 3:04 in the video. Hope that helps!

[@janedoh3658]

First, this is one of the best reviews I've seen. However, I think you skipped one of the most important features. Did you notice the forward/backward movement of the headrest via button on side of it? Seats are a big issue and, at least for me, forward-set headrests are uncomfortable enough to be a deal breaker!

[@CarConfections]

Thanks! We'll take note of that for future videos

[@samarthvora8623]

What do u prefer Audi A4 premium plus or Mercedes c180 the lowest trim , I think the Audi is cheaper?

[@CarConfections]

Unfortunately, we've never reviewed the Mercedes C-Class, so we cannot really comment on that. I can say, though, that the A4 is a great car and would be hard to beat

[@Domepeezy]

This car is like 50K and it has a manual steering wheel adjust that’s crazy...I still most likely will get it after my Infiniti

[@ChiroVideosTVlondon]

Nice videos. But why do you always feature audio from the speakers of the cars you review? As viewers/listeners, the sound quality is only as good as the devices we are using to view the video. So it's pointless. Thanks again.

[@CarConfections]

Thank you! We're glad you liked it :) But we totally understand your point. If you want a fairly accurate audio sample we'd recommend listening to it through some high quality earbuds.

[@ChiroVideosTVlondon]

Car Confections thanks, but it's still the same issue - the sound I'd hear would be created by the earbuds, not the speakers of the car you reviewed. It's just pointless. More positively, I love the details you go into, especially on the opulence and design materials etc. Keep it up!

[@leonakita]

OK, I waited till the end for my remaining comments... You didn't mention how it differs from the 2017..thats important to viewers Shifter options both on wheel and stick are great. Love the toggle switching on components and climate control. Thats a real plus! Big trunk is great but you need to clear it out for the video... thats important! 40/20/40 trunk is annoying..standard 60/40 is easier to use Audi's long list of features are great but some are just overkill...i.e. heated steering wheel, a plethora of adjustments for backseat passengers, Virtual cockpit is overkill, IMO Center console way to small and shallow..they should at least hold an iPad.

Would you suggest the BMW 4 series being more reliable? I know the A4 competes with the 3 series though.

[@CarConfections]

These vehicles are really too new to know about how they will hold up over the long term. But there is the JD Power Initial Quality Study, and BMW as a brand is rated higher than Audi as a brand.
