@Ian TB Very nice, I'd love an F-Type whenever my budget will allow. Genuinely think the hardtop version is one of the best looking cars ever made. My last car was a Mini Cooper S, that was fun to commute in. Got a few confused looks when the exhaust crackled and popped and there's a guy in a suit driving it. All in good fun! Anyway, working from home 4/5 days a week.... can't complain about my commute either to be fair. :D

@@joshrhodes5068 Being an accountant isn't the most exciting career choice but it's certainly a good choice. In today's current job climate an apprenticeship where you can gain practical experience while you learn will be viewed higher than university experience. It also allows you to learn without getting into thousands of pounds of student debt. Use those student loans for CIMA etc. later on. This also allows you to see what it's like as an accountant before spending thousands on Uni. (but then again uni is really fun so there's that) Hope that helped!

Hi mate, love your reviews but have to take you to task with the A4 review. I have had an A4 cab, A5, A6 c7, and currently own the A6 c8. Have owned Jag XJR, XJ, BMW 3 & 5 series, and also Merc EClass. Listed these just to show I’m not an Audi fanboy. Probably 90% of normal road users don’t even know if their current car is front or rear wheel drive, and even fewer would like to get the tail out in a Beemer whilst normal daily driving! You say Audi hasn’t changed the A4 design much over the years, well what about 3 series Beemers...evolution rather than revolution is a German mantra most of the time. Sure the A4 2.0 tfsi is not as exciting as your M3, but then if you want to compare apples to apples, then maybe test drive an RS4...see how “nice” that is :-) Not having a serious dig as I always enjoy your vids, but the A4 is perfect for what the majority want, and as you mentioned, there are more exciting models in the line up if that’s your thing...keep up the great work !!!

@@davidarmstrong4934 I find it hilarious when people speak of "reliability" with cars under 100,000 miles. No modern car should have failures under 100,000miles. I disagree that "any car" can be unreliable. Some cars, the Camry is one, take and absorb a complete and total disdain for maintenance and keep running on. When an Audi does, it's noteworthy.

The Audi 80 and the original A4 were the 'quality' choices in their class, then competitors caught up. I still think as a tool this generation would satisfy 90% of people, and it's interesting that you really rate the interior, which after all is where we spend most of our time! Given a choice between this and a new Fiesta for the same money (and the Fiesta is brilliant to drive) I could see me buying this!

I was recently driven via carpooling in one of these B9 A4s. I kid you not, we were at constant 100 mph on a motorway and whilst having a chat with a driver I probably could've whispered and it wouldn't make much difference. I didn't feel a roadtrip at all. Maybe it owes it to a fact that it has some of these luxurious MLB underpinnings which go all the way to an A8 and Bentley... All in all - impressed!

I have the bang and olufson sound system with the heads up display. This car has made me permanently want the A4 sedan for highway use, commute, and even a fun night on the road.

I have an A5 3.0 TDi 286. It is s great car but my wife and kids hate it for long journeys because it isn't very comfortable. We had a 5 Series before this car and I have to say she has a point! The A5 is a lot more fun though. The engine in my car is also brilliant. Genuinely fast but you can get mid 50's mpg on a run no problem whatsoever. One thing to point out is that the latest A4/A5 has now changed to two screens and got rid of the MMI rotary dial and buttons. I hate that. So much so I won't but another Audi until they have the good sense to realise people don't want to go through menus when a button could instantly do what you want.

I think it's a brilliant car, really nice exterior and interior and has been reliable thus far. so many options when it comes to these, especially in the UK. the car is great, it's my first audi and it's a big step up coming from a honda civic. nice video :)

This car is just like you Matt, your videos are so clinical, your reviews are so well composed word for word, it's almost like you're reading from a book, but you're not, I don't know how you do it for 10 minutes straight, credit where it's due you describe every aspect of your cars with great detail, and keep us interested, just not exciting or fun, like the A4 lol

I’ve driven a few of the Quattro and Fwd versions and it’s a competent stylish premium saloon. Granted it’s not exciting but you can at least get an S4 to brighten things up. I would probably get the A5 sport back for the added practicality though.

I completely agree with you here, I have one - a 66 plate Matador Red 2.0 TDI 150 S-Line S-Tronic and it is a wonderful tool. I bought it as my commute is more or less all dual carriageway and for 90% of people it is pretty much the holy grail of Middle England motoring. However, it is not a fun or exciting car in any way shape or form - so much so I'm looking to trade it in for a Mini Cooper S in the new year!

I went from an Audi S1 to a B9 A4 TDi. Sometimes it’s just what suits your needs at a particular time in your life. That said, I do miss the S1…. apart from the economy…..

The car is a workhorse, a tool for the job. Tdi preferred but excellent daily driver. Premium golf if you like, the more perfect something is the less soul it has I find, the fit finish and quality of these cars is excellent. Nothing else built like it for the budget

Another good review. Sometimes I listen in just to enjoy your dry humour. It really is quite entertaining and perfectly delivered. We've got a Powerball draw tonite in Oz and I'm wondering what I'd buy if I won $20 million. I realise that most of your car experience is limited to what will sell off your forecourt, but if you had a good chunk of change, what would you buy & why?

Hi Matt, I, m thinking of buying a car 017 onwards. Here in Ireland the country is falling down withAudi A4,s. Lots of well paid professionals have them. Farmers love them. All the young crowd are mad to get their hands on them. The younger people will happily spend their entire wage packets on A4, A5 and lately A6 models. When the crowd is going that way I, m going the other way. Seriously considering a Lexus is 300h.A real beauty

Good videos. We agree on a lot! I find a lot of VAG products very boring. Had a Passat 2.0 TDI for 10 years and it is brilliant but utterly soulless and forgettable. I think a lot of cars are this way now though as they are becoming too refined and quiet for enthusiasts. Love some French cars though. 90s Peugeots are lovely like the 306s and their excellent diesel engines! Love the Rover 75 too. Not the newer petrol one you tested but the older diesels. Not the best car ever made but character and interesting and I'm 27! 😂

Really been loving my audi a4 avant 252 hp 2.0 tfsi Quattro, had zero issues after 60 miles. I liked my FWD 2.0 tdi 190 hp too, but the FWD isn't really exciting to drive indeed as you rightfully mentioned. The Quattro was such a welcoming edition, the fuel consumption is 5% up to 10% higher tho because of the AWD.

Hey!! I always do a spreadsheet before buying a car! 🤓 I use it to avoid the usual suspects (3 series, A4, C class) 😄 Years ago I was given an A4 as a curtesy car while my A1 was in for a service and it was so bland to drive in comparison to my A1. I always preferred the A6.
