5 Reasons to Buy a 2023 Audi A4 (What's New?)

[@picklerick9191]

Just bought one, absolutely love it. So luxurious and 260hp is plenty when you've been driving 160 your whole life.

[@fabolousjada5070]

41k is actually pretty good

[@CalBranagan]

@@fabolousjada5070 41k for the 40 tfsi base model 49,000 with premium plus and the 45 tfsi and the s line and cold weather package (if you live on the east coast this is necessary)

[@michaeltorres2377]

Very accurate video! I had a 2017 A4 allroad. I really enjoyed the car, but unfortunately as it started to age, it had a lot of the same issues you mentioned. I had to replace the water pump, then the coolant line and reservoir, motor mounts started leaking, passenger seat controls stop working and finally it started having turbo issues all before the car had 60,000 miles on it.

[@iam_myster_e]

Wow not a common thing I’ve heard from this recent generation!

[@cameraz99]

@@iam_myster_e -- Yes, they are common. Same things happened to my 2017.

[@iam_myster_e]

@@cameraz99 seems like people arent changing oil at 5k as they should. 10k is too far, and seat controls failing on both of your cars? surprised i never heard of that. I am weary of critics because my old bmw had a bad reputation on google and yet was a GREAT CAR ...

[@cameraz99]

@@iam_myster_e -- Actually, the seat controls on my 2017 Audi A4 never failed, but the front driver's seat motors stopped working on my '96 A4 and '02 A4. On the latter car, I had to replace the motors twice. And I only weigh 155 lbs. And I change my oil and filter every 3,500 miles, since I do a lot of short-distance driving.

[@mackjsm7105]

Have a used 2022 for 1 year.. no issues yet.. I had a 2017 hit 98,000 miles.. no issues and I DO take care of the car.

[@tdc3rd]

This was a well done review. Honest, well presented, pros cons that the average buyer would find helpful, and no fluff. Fitting for an Audi.

[@fr3shSwag]

I'm 6'1" and the driver seat is pretty roomy for it to be a compact car. It's a little on the slow side in regards to acceleration. I love the virtual cockpit. I dislike the place of the cupholder and the armrest is lacking adequate storage space. The B&O sound system packs a punch. Bluetooth connectivity is really fast. Overall I like the car so far!

[@fabulouspoet]

do you have the 45 or the 40

[@fr3shSwag]

@@fabulouspoet 40

[@manofsesame3024]

Basically, all turbo engines had the same reliability issues in the earlier years but got improved in the recent years (like after 2016/17). Even Honda's turbo engines after their 2018 models had the same issues that crashed Honda's reliability ranking from top to bottom. But they are a lot better now.

[@kellyfontes7757]

Honda is still having massive issues with that 2.0 T

[@kylek2794]

Great review. You've got a real talent for this !

[@vz5835]

Still enjoying my 2017 A4 quattro with 85k miles. Replaced the water pump or thermostat, don't remember exactly, due to leaking at 50k miles for 300usd in total (don't know how much it would cost in the US). This is a common issue, AFAIK. The rests were pretty minor and were fixed for free during warranty (one door handle lighting and s-line trim's illumination stopped working). The great all-rounder, moderate maintenance costs. I am not going to change it for another ICE car.

[@Offensively-normal]

We looked at the A4. It is amazing. The fit and finish are a tremendous accomplishment. While we could initially afford this car we soon realized the maintenance and repair cost would probably bankrupt us. So it was a Japanese made car. I pay $89 for a simple oil change. The Audi is about double for the same service. Insurance cost didn't help either.

[@Realistick]

Definitely something that would be great to live with but luxury cars seldom make sense financially

[@davraam7595]

You get a oil change every 10k miles so that’s not as expensive as it seems. Also you can get Audi care for the first 5 10k milestones which covers all of that and if your buying a 23 your under warranty for the life of the loan.

@@davraam7595people complain about a $150 oil change just don’t care about cars and that’s fine but they don’t need to act like it’ll bankrupt them while under warranty

[@b286guy]

Is it reliable? Yes! Consumer Reports gives it a great score there 👍🏻

[@Realistick]

They do give me piece of mind there but sometimes issues take a little while to present themselves!

[@CasualMotors]

I just want to know if mine would come with the string. Saw that feature on the blue Audi 😆 Love your videos! Thanks for bringing great content with no fluff

[@Realistick]

String is an extra😤😤

[@wingszero4485]

I believe this model is debuted in 2016 actually at least in US. I bought one that year and it has been very reliable.

[@samuraijack6870]

He was talking about the model. So yes, the 2017 model did technically debut in 2016.

[@cameraz99]

There's not enough new in the '23 A4 over the 2017 model to make me want to buy one. I'm waiting for the next generation (B10).

Great video, planning on test driving one tomorrow. Awesome your in Bloomington, I grew up there. Go Hoosiers!

[@JoJo_dazia]

For my future luxury car, I am debating on a Lexus is 350 F sport, Audi A4, genesis, or Mercedes E or C class. I feel like Mercedes is the best looking, Lexus is and eye catcher and reliable, and I’m just now starting to learn more about Audis and genesis cars.

[@willardarmbruster8111]

I had an '18 A5 45 PP and was able to change drive modes between comfort, dynamic, and individual. Is that feature not present on the A4?

[@DaGoook]

Love the Sportback and as I'm shopping I rented A5/S5/RS5 to compare them. The jump to the S5 from the A5 in terms of performance is very noticable and worth the upgrade. Whereas the difference S5/RS5 was much smaller and not worth it in my opinion.

[@rahuljayachandran4128]

Very nice and informative video. Thanks 😍😀.Love the A4.

[@intersparcolow]

mild-hibrids seem unnecessary but it is beacuse of EU regulations to lower harmful emission rates on cars across the manufacturers board. I guess it doesn't make sense to make a different model just for the US market. (from the video my take is that audi bring only higher equipped models as standard compared to the EU market anyway)

[@bighands69]

Mild hybrids do offer more options when it comes to power application. They can also make smaller displaced engine like a 2 litre smooth to drive almost like a large engine. The whole environmental thing is nonsense.

[@dmatth]

Random brownie points for having JID in rotation lol

[@fp5495]

For the past few years, I saw the A4 as long in the tooth, but it's funny how a car can suddenly come full circle and look like fresh again in a timeless way. Why does this car look viable to me again, when three years ago, I saw it as boring, and leased a BMW 330i, instead?

[@arncam5121]

With all the issues you would almost list reliable as pro ? Im not fixated on Lexus but Audi is nowhere near in terms of initial and specially long term Quality. Very expensive repairs and maintenance. I cant wait to get rid of this A4.

[@Realistick]

Relative to other premium cars, it’s better than average, Lexus lives in their own world!

[@DaGoook]

Sorry but the correct answer is people should buy a 2018-2020 S4/S5 for 35-40K USD.

[@LIVELETLIVE04]

I think you’re right

[@MichaelRedford]

Dumb when A4s of that era cost half that

Recently purchased a 2023 A-4 Allroad prestige. What a major disappointment! The Infotainment system is counterintuitive and responds to inputs inconsistently. The auto stop-start system is coarse and unrefined and the seats is uncomfortable. Owned it for 3 months....actually hoping it gets stolen next time we take into the city!

[@alengreen589]

If you compare the interior with the new C - class and the facelifted 3 - series, you can see that this interior looks old for the same car price.

[@Realistick]

No doubt but i'd still choose the audi interior over either of those for the reasons mentioned. If you want more screen or swanky looks, then that's just a matter of personal preference!

[@alengreen589]

@@Realistick Yes Ok i understand your point but i think that the most customers from these premium cars where pays a lot of money, want the latest tech features and the newest interior designs and thats why Mercedes and BMW sells a lot more C -classes and 3 - series in Europe as Audi with the A4.

[@manofsesame3024]

I would still prefer the mechanical AC knob, heated seat buttons, and an actual shift stick over touch screen and touch button gear shift

[@luxpremium5714]

​@Realistick yeah I agree, the new 3 series looks like one of those curved ultrawide screen computer screens... like I'm driving a car not playing a video game. But I can see why some people like it with the marketing they do on it.

My biggest qualm with this is the refreshed middle console. They took a sleek, satin center console and make it tacky gloss piano black. It ruined the vibe.

[@NGMonocrom]

It's an Audi.... you don't buy one of those for its reliability. That's like saying, "I need to settle down. I'm going to find me a good woman and wife her up." But then you go looking for one in a Gentleman's Club. Come on, just no. No. Imagine a very hungry Vegan going to a Steak House, and then walking out; genuinely being surprised there was nothing on the menu that they could eat! You want reliable? Honda, Toyota, to a slightly lesser extent; Mazda. Used to be Nissan until Renault came along.

[@seanlelie1520]

So early 2000’s to say tbh 🙄

[@Realistick]

Agreed, you shouldn’t expect toyota running costs but I wouldn’t recommend a car that will total itself in 10 years or leave you stranded which is why I still want to talk about it.
