2018 Audi RS4 - The Perfect One Car Garage - Incl. EPIC Launch Control (Collaboration Review)

[@fastlanediaries6593]

Been running one now in 2022. Best car I’ve had, and I’ve had the works! Day to day nothing better. And as a family man with a dog and a mountain bike it really is epic.

[@raybrock6083]

Thank you Mr Ped for an excellent review. Being an Audi enthusiast and driver I was really looking forward to this video and you did not disappoint. Love these extended reviews, I hope other manufacturers see this and lend you their cars!!

[@PetrolPed]

Me too !

[@stefandjordjevic9]

I really appreciate the structure of your review. It creates a great interactive experience for both viewers and owners with its Q&A format. Thank you!

[@PetrolPed]

Glad it was helpful!

[@christopherharris458]

I am so lucky and proud to have one! Loaded in Misano Red - it is EPIC in every way! The very best daily driver I have ever had! It has the "GRIN" factor in spades! Great review - thank you! I agree with every thing you said.

[@PetrolPed]

You lucky thing 👍

[@suezix8689]

Hi. May I ask what other cars you have owned?

[@simonmanwaring3768]

That's the best review of the RS 4 I've seen to date!! I was in the market for an S4 but I'm now saving the extra money to get the RS !! We'll done on all your vlogs !! And if Audi UK are reading theses reviews then give ped more cars as he's now established himself as the best out there !!!!!

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks Simon. That is very kind of you to say 👍

[@mountainman6172]

Lost for words. Such a big enhancement from its predecessor. Absolutely gorgeous. Sharp shots too. Cheers!

[@PetrolPed]

Wow, thanks buddy 👍

[@spoonz1065]

Prefer my b8 thanks .

[@filiped7298]

Awesome video. Terrific shots. A really really nice video. We can all see the effort you’ve placed into creating this. Congratulations!

[@PetrolPed]

Thank you Filipe, that is kind of you to say :-)

[@luccafrancis4227]

You all probably dont give a damn but does any of you know a tool to get back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot the login password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.

[@jordanorion5656]

@Lucca Francis instablaster =)

[@luccafrancis4227]

@Jordan Orion Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@luccafrancis4227]

@Jordan Orion It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thanks so much you really help me out :D

[@carlosspct]

I have to say this is one of the best reviews I've ever seen so far. Simply put, excellent!

[@PetrolPed]

Wow...thank you :-)

[@horsepowerhub7480]

Thanks for using my question in the collaboration review! Interesting to hear your thoughts, think I would have to agree with you on all of those options!!

[@PetrolPed]

My pleasure :-)

[@PetrolPed]

I gives so much more light in the car though :-)

[@rolexkings7747]

Bought it for the kids Jamie.

[@MrJasonBeckett]

Your best update and review to date PP. Fantastic car, who wouldn't want to own an RS4. Thanks for the Video. Like the car 10 out of 10 for the review. Congrats Audi.

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks Jason, glad you enjoyed it :-)

[@jamesfairlie10]

Brilliant video Pete. Best yet. Can really see how passionate you are about what you do it's excellent.

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks James, glad you enjoyed it :-)

[@Thenoogz176]

Love the video mate! Great balance between performance and practicality. Enjoyed how you actually showed us how the park assist works. Keep it up!

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it :-)

[@olafhermans]

I believe this - or its 2020 upgrade (which some don't see as an upgrade) - is still the car that fits you and your family best, Peter. Such a harmonious package

[@francoisg3500]

Thanks you Pete for the shout out!

[@PetrolPed]

My pleasure Buddy :-)

[@OnlineHousehusband]

Cracking Video Peter! Great editing and your videos are stepping up a notch! Cracking job...love the detail you go to. 👍🏼

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers Paul. I think my editing is my weakest point so each film I try to improve and do something different, so when someone notices that makes my day :-)

[@OnlineHousehusband]

Petrol Ped no probs mate. Come across as one of the most genuine reviewers on YT! If you want to review my 335d XDrive your more than welcome 👍🏼

[@alext6157]

Hello PetrolPed. This is your first review I've watched from the begging 'till the end without being bored. I just want to congratulate you for the most entartaining and informative review from my playlist so far. I got inlove with rs4 because of you :)). Thank you and thumbs up!

[@PetrolPed]

Wow, thanks Trasca. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the great feedback :-)

[@antonoat]

Two thirds in and this is already the best review of this car I've seen, will have to watch the rest later. Great job Mr Ped, you've refined your review technique I reckon and it's high class stuff, thanks. cheers tony

[@PetrolPed]

Wow Tony, thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you are enjoying the review :-)

[@jameswhittington1819]

Best 2018 RS4 review on KZbin. I want one!

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers James, kind of you to say :-)

[@chrissharman9169]

Glued for the duration of that great collaboration vid Pete. This is def the car I want to get when the RS3 goes. Does seem a ‘Does all Swiss Army knife’ sort of a car. Lucky you having it for a week!!!!!

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers Chris :-)

[@thetruth52772]

Hi Pete. Solid review I love how you've covered nearly every single area and you actually taken the time to try and answer peoples questions. I was actually expecting something long and boring but this was actually entertaining and very informative. Good effort mate definitely subscribing👍

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks for the Sub Matthew and glad you enjoyed the review 👍

[@michaelsjournal3827]

first time seeing one of your videos and I like everything about your format! good job bud. wishing you a successful channel :)

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks Michael. Kind of you to say and great to have you along for the ride 👍

[@primarypractice1398]

Thanks Pete...great in detail review with real world comments. Following this I think the new RS4 will be definitely on my test drive list.

[@PetrolPed]

Yep, highly recommended but don't take you credit card !

[@resnonverba137]

Your review was in keeping with the car - a mix of practicality and passion.

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks Christopher, kind of you to say :-)

[@mattylf1]

Great review again. Really like this format. Agree, that this could be the one car you would ever need and I’m sure I’m not the only one that went home and looked at the classifieds after your meet and greet.

[@PetrolPed]

I've done that a few times :-)

[@rashu786]

I’m watching this video 6 years later and off to pick one up on the weekend just needed that extra bit of a push and your video was the final nail 👍

[@PetrolPed]

Glad I could help!

[@StefABtv]

*brilliant video mate! Loved it!*

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers Stef :-)

[@geofo60]

Very impressive car Peter. Excellent review as always. Can’t think of anything else to add, which makes a change for me. Cheers, Geof

[@PetrolPed]

Wow...it does ;-)

[@Allibanos]

Thanks for the great review. Very detailed and far from boring! Good information on the fuel economy too.

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers, I'm glad you enjoyed it :-)

[@MrDarrenb2010]

What an honest video for once! Not showing off with silly little boys and girls. I'm hoping to trade my 2018 A6 black edition quattro for the RS4 next year. What a great review.

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks Darren. So chuffed you enjoyed it 👍

[@neilbarden9430]

One thumbs up not enough for this. Great stuff, maybe your best one yet. And always good to see some of my favourite roads, especially Harting hill.

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers Neil. Shame there aren't multiple Thumbs up buttons ;-)

[@rolexkings7747]

Bloody brilliant conclusion Pete....I'm sticking with my S4 Avant for a few more years and will move up to one of these once the second hand values are within my budget.

[@PetrolPed]

Mt plan too :-)

[@thebackgroundman5876]

I've watched this twice now Petrol Ped and I love the simplicity of your presentation - tiptop! So much so in fact that I am getting my mrs to watch it too - you sell the car far better than I can!I'm picking one up tomorrow can you believe and I simply cannot wait. I have been looking forward to this day for months and it is finally here :-) Thank you for whetting my appetite again!

[@PetrolPed]

My pleasure. Thanks for the lovely feedback and enjoy the new car...they are awesome !

[@yvesklein669]

👍Thanks for the practical and informative review Pete!👏

[@PetrolPed]

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks so much. I hope you are correct 👍

[@christraverse5075]

Great video as always! Love these collaboration reviews, they set you apart from the other car youtubers☺

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks Chris. That's the plan :-)

[@jasonspencer2841]

Excellent review. Really enjoyed it!1

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers Jason :-)

[@Robby2308-d7v]

Looking forward to the delivery of my B9 in two weeks time, owned and thus drove three generations of RS4 and it appears this is by far the best performing and looking version...thanks for a great review, enjoyed it, very well done!

[@PetrolPed]

You lucky thing !

[@Robby2308-d7v]

I am..looking so much forward to it...even more so after this review...:)

[@alrestauro]

Very informative and insightful bits to think about. Thanks! And well done!

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers :-)

[@MrDJLeeE]

Brilliant review mate and great to see you interacting with viewers - answering their questions. So annoying when I see questions from viewers and the reviewer point blank doesn't respond to them. Subbed 👍

[@PetrolPed]

Awesome Lee...thanks 👍

[@sampegnall4165]

Another great review. Best RS4 review I’ve seen

[@PetrolPed]

That's kind of you to say :-)

[@phh7637]

Great review. Thanks for comparing to your S4. I was thinking of upgrading my S4 to the new RS4 and your excellent review has convinced me to do just that!

[@humphreybradley3060]

‘70/80 ... err 70! 😂. Brilliant video Pete!

[@PetrolPed]

LOL !

[@tommyhartman7920]

Fantastic review mate, best one I've seen for the RS4.

[@PetrolPed]

Wow...that's great to hear :-)

[@dwightsmith3590]

This guy is really good at reviews. Instant subscriber!

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks Dwight, welcome to the channel :-)

[@manjbains1977]

Fantastic review mate. Well done and lovely car!

[@PetrolPed]

Thank you :-)

[@pippipster6767]

An absolutely fantastic car. Great video, really enjoyed. This is a car for people who actually know about cars. Which is going to sound a little bit immodest... because mine is arriving in a few days. Can’t wait.

[@PetrolPed]

You lucky thing :-)

[@pippipster6767]

Petrol Ped One thing ... (car few days away) ... how did you find fuel consumption and the (bit worryingly small) 58L tank ?

[@rogerpope3942]

Great video Pete. What a car, at this rate my lottery win will have to be huge

[@PetrolPed]

Mine too !

[@komantam]

Very practical review. Well done and love the look of RS4 over RS5

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers :-)

[@Mixi664]

That was such a well made video, I loved the conclusion and completely agree with you. I bought the B9 S4 at the start of the year and had to sell it for the exact reasons you spoke of, I never wanted to take it out for a sunday drive...

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks Ian. Glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@abulkibria963]

Superb video. Very in depth review of Rs4. My dream car. I will get it one day I believe. Found your channel. Thanks for your analysis.

[@PetrolPed]

Glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@steveburns9488]

Hi Peter, the quality of your videos just gets better and better, I think this is the best so far. And how fast on the motorway 😉 haha what a car, better than an M3??

[@PetrolPed]

Not sure, I need to drive one of those next ;-) Thanks for the positive feedback Steve.

[@djorven1395]

Awesome video! You covered pretty much everything one needs to know

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers, glad you enjoyed it :-)

[@thezanzibarbarian5729]

Hi PP. Great video mate. Really informative too. One thing I did pick up on. At 10:13secs - Speeding!! Tut! Tut! However, it was nice to see the matrix LED lighting working in the fog. I've seen them working in the manufacturers videos, but to see them working in REAL life was nice. One thing I should have asked about the RS4 was this. What's the 0 to 60 like if you do NOT use the launch control. i.e. If you were just sat at a set of lights and wanted to get away quickly.

[@PetrolPed]

Not that much different :-)

[@ScepticFrog]

Brilliant Ped, it's launches beautifully! I really wish Audi brought back the RS4 saloon as well. But I have to say the tech such as the matrix headlights and digital dash are amazing.

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers Buddy. Yeah a saloon would be nice :-)

[@kevindunning4916]

Just Bought a 2019 one and love it already.. I’m lucky enough to have an R8 also and although it’s not the driving experience of an R8 (the noise mainly) it’s a good 80% and as the commentator said, it is a car you would take out just to drive it... My only negative is that the 2019 has the GPF and that Reduces the noise which I think lessers the experience (maybe time for sports cats and a remap!)

[@ginggur17]

Top notch as ever pal. Brilliant.

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers Ginge :-)

[@jtwitchett]

What a brilliant review, 10 times more informative than other youtubers. Keep up the good work!

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers, glad you enjoyed it :-)

[@frasermacleod7642]

Excellent review as always. Really loved the format and all of the information, thanks and well done. It's an amazing car for sure and I love Audi but i'm just not a fan of the Avant or estates in general, however I do see your point you made about this and the Panamera Sport Turismo eHybrid.

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers Fraser, for sure estates appeal to a certain market :-)

[@stevesherlockrides]

your best video so far. really enjoyed it

[@PetrolPed]

Wow, cheers :-)

[@bowie3000]

Really good review mate. Really good. Glad I found you and subscribed 👌

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks for the Sub and welcome to the channel 👍

[@ChrisPlow]

I’m watching this 3 years later after trolling autotrader for an upgrade to my ‘13 S4 Avant. It’s soooo tempting I’ve looked at F Pace V6 petrol and Macan GTS but I keep going back to a grey 2018 one that just says buy me ! 🏎💨 awesome content as ever👍

[@PetrolPed]

LOL 😂

[@t4oomf442]

What a gr8 review, ide love to see you review the RS4 COMPETITION PLUS & AN RS4 ABT

[@akabukiman]

Awesome. Great format. Subscribed.

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers David 👍

[@SSerx]

Hi Pete. I ordered one with all the options ticked in January, waiting until May... and ordered with Alcántara xDD Perfect and nice review, people is talking bullshits about V6 and exhaust sound. But the truth is RS4=V6TT since the origin, and about the exhaust you can change after buying (for the time being Manhart or Remus pe). And Manhart sounds like hell, loud and pops everyday. This car is the best RS4 ever, said by Audi and many others testers and experts. Are you agree?

[@PetrolPed]

I do 👍

[@drew9312]

Another great review. Love these long term loan reviews. Great choice of cars too. S4 comparison interesting also.

[@chels_one7579]

Cheers James, glad you enjoyed it :-)

[@viktorjanotka]

Really nice vid mate!!!

[@PetrolPed]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@markcox9710]

Nice review, Pete! One thing I would say is that you were doing your 0-60 time without launch control so your time was definitely slower than it could have been. You can tell because in launch mode the revs go up to about 3200 rpm and you build more boost before you take off, so it leaves the line much faster, with a little bit of wheelspin from all 4 wheels. You could definitely knock a few tenths off that time. The software in the car will only do launch mode if you are in Dynamic mode (not individual) and also only if you have the traction control in sport mode (not if you turn it completely off). You also need to give it 3 or 4 seconds of full throttle to build boost before you take your foot off the brake (this feels a bit harsh when you do it but the manual says give it 2 to 5 seconds). You can see after 2 seconds of full throttle the revs jump up from 2800rpm to 3200rpm and you can see the boost building if you have the boost gauge turned on in the display. It gets to about 3/4 of full boost before you even start off!

[@TheReargunner]

Great review Ped. i want one soo bad but will have to wait for a used one in about 3 years , so all you lucky guys who can get one now please look after them for us guys who buy used ones.

[@PetrolPed]

That will be me too !

[@damianotoole]

Nice one Ped. I'm enjoying my new SQ5 but this RS4 has got me thinking of a RS4 upgrade in a couple of years already!

[@PetrolPed]

A good upgrade :-)

[@barryg4760]

[@PetrolPed]

Great review Pete! It looks fantastic in Nardo grey and would make a great all round 1 car garage to do everything!

[@PetrolPed]

Thank Russel :-)

[@TheEryk03]

S4 is alredy very very good car so I can only imagine how amazing is RS4. Great review.

[@PetrolPed]

Glad you enjoyed it and as an S4 owner it's hard to think how the S4 can be made better but the RS4 is a huge step better !

[@YourTechGerman]

Damn, great review! You deserve more subs and view sir

[@PetrolPed]

That is kind of you to say :-)

[@finnnation]

Great vid mate!!!

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :-)

[@anthonyswan2928]

What a brilliant and detailed review! Petrol Ped going to new levels! A fantastic car with so many brilliant details! I’ve never seen red trimmed seatbelts before! I used to have all Red and found them tacky plus they showed the dirt a lot more. Need Manufacturers to give you more long term loans! I want a 30 minute weekly show to take over the gap left by 5th gear etc 👍🏻

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers Anthony :-)

Option list is best done like this, I bought a fully loaded s5 that was 5 months old and owned by an Audi director but was offered at a considerable reduction in price. I looked for over 6 months though and nearly every night on the web. Do your homework it's worth it.

[@StreetFighter7878]

Love the video. Amazing work. Already subscribed !

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks for the Sub and welcome to the channel :-)

[@BobSmith-dh4co]

Nice review. I was looking forward to placing my order for one. I decided against it. I live in central London. Where the default speed limit has been set to 20mph which I think is stupid. It would be be very hard for me to drive at 20mph in an rs4. I find it hard enough in my Gti performance pack.

[@PetrolPed]

LOL...I'd move :-)

[@trevorsilver]

Really informative review, I’ll let you know how the road trip to the Black Sea goes!

[@PetrolPed]

Please do :-)

[@evildiesel7850]

Great review - looks like a lot of fun. For the Alcantara steering wheel, you need to have a go at it every 2 months or so with an interior shampoo & microfiber cloth and finish with a fluff up with a suede shoe brush - job done.

[@geofo60]

Evil Diesel 1 Thanks for the tip. My JCW Coupe is beginning to show signs of needing some TLC, as is Peter’s roadster by the sound of it.

[@PetrolPed]

Great tip :-)

[@billionbear]

Brilliant review and what a motor!

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers Arran :-)

[@NZsarge1]

Awesome video fella

[@PetrolPed]

Ta :-)

[@carrototop15]

I recognise those roads! The hill climb is one of my favourite bits of road. I would also recommend doing the whole of the A272 from Petersfield to Petworth, some great twists down there. Anyway, nice video. Probably my favourite of all the RS4 reviews i've watched. Really enjoyed the drone shots too.

[@PetrolPed]

The A272 is one of my favourite roads too :-) Glad you enjoyed the vid...such a great car !

[@jimettamarna417]

Greetings from Boston, in the US. Great video/review. I really like your format with objective information and informed person impressions. I currently drive a B8.5 S4 (in saloon, as you'd say, but in similar spec to yours which I LOVE). As a replacement/upgrade I am planning the new RS5 Sportback. Sadly, I don't think we'll get the RS4 Avant in the US, but I imaging the RS5 driving dynamics will be essentially identical. Living in a region that has frequent rain and snow, these uber Audis are the ideal every-day supercars. And they can be spec'ed in discreet configurations and "debadged" in order to "fly under the radar" and avoid unwanted attention. Keep up the great work! I subscribed.

[@PetrolPed]

Hi Jim Thanks for the Sub and welcome to the channel. The RS5 is a very similar drive. You’ll love it 👍 I love the subtlety too...right up to the point you step on the gas 😂

[@DamoDrives]

Fantastic video, having experienced the car from the passenger seat I understand why you enjoyed it so much. That full beam light feature was such such a great use of a relatively simple bit of tech , yes please 😄

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers Damian :-)

[@arthanson9259]

Great content can’t understand why you don’t have more subscribers 👍

[@PetrolPed]

Neither can I ;-)

[@1BLUEMEANIE]

Well Peter really enjoyed that , and it does stop on a sixpence thanks for answering my question. Do you think the collection guy would have noticed If you gave him the wrong keys😉 Have a great weekend 👍👍🏁🏁

[@PetrolPed]

I did try :-)

Hello Hamburg :-)

[@sam67uk]

Very enjoyable review on an amazing car 👍🏻

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :-)

[@zackdizzle]

Loved it!!! Love it all... may you please do more about Audi cars?

[@PetrolPed]

Great to hear. I do quite a lot with Audi so hopefully more to come.

[@Tracertme]

Really Good Pete, you make a difference because you listen to your customers questions and go the mile to answer them. Being a curent RS6 owner I agree with most of what you say... I call it the swiss army knife of cars, do anything and everything... RS4 is better in UK because of road width and traffic congestion, you don't get the full benefit of an RS6 in UK and yes it did cost me my license once...... I have never had so many speeding tickets in my life, but I wouldn't change a thing and I note you kept to 70Mph the whole time :-) which means you have a lot better discipline... it would be really great if you could ask Audi UK for R8 v10 Plus for a week, this is the only extra car I am looking to put in my stable... and a 10 minute road test just never cuts it to understand a car...

[@PetrolPed]

Hi Alan. Glad you liked the review and I have asked that question of Audi already ;-)
