MotorWeek Road Test: 2009 Audi A4 Avant

[@tcbecht88]

Just bought one... LOVE IT! Father of 3 under 3 and plenty of room for the whole family. Just drove from Miami to Louisiana in it. Best car ever.

[@vasacsl63]

Any major issues with engine or tranny? Mpg?

[@johnfenton7990]

had a 3.2, then switched to 2.0t. wish I had chosen the 2.0t from the beginning just as quick and much better fuel consumption, no real issues with car, except it likes it oil a bit too much.

[@apt62]

My first entry level luxury car. good times!!

[@Billy4202]

Still can't get over how distinctive the LED DRLs are

[@bwilliamblock]

In a world, where car reviewers review cars...

[@ChAnimations]

reliability is great for the new audi models..we haven't had any technical failures in our A4 2009 since we bought it 3 years ago (except for the one rear light)...only a slight vibration which disturbed us, but that was caused by our local garage not being able to change the wheels properly. I think Audi's reliability has been highly increased in the last years.

[@grantbradley5084]

It’s a great car after the oil consumption issue is addressed. Add a stage 1 tune on the 2012 model, change the exhaust, add bilsteen coil overs, Michelin pilot super front tires, bbs wheels and rear sway bars, now were taking!

[@AetiusPraetorian]

Good for you dude!

[@tcbecht88]

We recently traded it in for a Q7, but we loved it. Never had a problem!

[@dornl]

Hey, just wondering how you're liking your A4 Avant. Still like it? any problems? Thanks!

[@Michiieltjuhhh]

it's really nice to drive!

[@m1rchegfn]

definetly the best audi Avant :)

[@fenrirthecount]

@uniquesilver Can't you request smaller ones, for a fee? Just asking. And this car only had a reg plate on the back, is it legal (I mean shouldn't it have one on the front too?) ? Or is there a loophole, or something, so you won't get fined?

[@J-W.-]

bmw does offer an twin turbo v6 that puts out 300 hp which isnt bad but i like the audi alittle more just wish the exhaust was seperate instead of together on the sedan

[@samuelskillern7365]

I wonder when these videos will become "Retro Reviews". I don't see much of the modern-ish European wagons where I live much. (I'm a sucker for uncommon Euro-wagons.)

[@petslikepets]

To any A4 owners from this generation: how has reliability been? Can you share any issues or how many times you've had to go in for problems outside of typical maintenance? I use to own Audi and left the manufacturer behind due to pretty poor reliability. Just curious of anything's changed.

[@dowling1981]

Is it better than the Manatee 3000?

[@4MATICbenz]

That's a great car

[@TheCarArchives96]

the 2009-present Audi A4 is assembled in Ingolstadt, Germany Puebla, Mexico Aurangabad, India Jakarta, Indonesia

[@suprakilzz26]

trust me be happy with the s4 although a rs4 is soo much better than a m3 in so many ways

[@Rondoo29]

His pants tho

[@ChaseEverything]

John Goodman wants his trousers back XD

[@GeekTherapyRadio]

"Virtually no body roll" as the rear inner tire damn near leaves the tarmac.

[@caravaning4]

@uniquesilver I understand you man;)

[@bg1379]

5:23 Someone has been watching way too much Top Gear - I've never heard an American call it an estate.

[@kingniels2]

we got one :P

[@catburner]

i think the B6 platform looks the best out of all platforms for the A4

[@mediocreman2]

B7 for sure. B6 taillights look bad

[@diegocalderonlemos]

good chice!!!

[@0thers1d3]

"Large central display". Lol.

[@posro1988]

I thought audi didn't sell avants in the US...do they offer s4 avant there?

[@johnbanks5548]

+posro1988 Up until 2008

[@mcximus]

dang it's pretty steep for a 4 banger.

[@kensai69]

Virtually no body roll? Really?

[@shaiheimmcrae192]

kensai69 LOL that thing was practically on its side

[@tinleo333]

i will get this over a 3 series in a heartbeat better space,fuel efficient 4 banger

[@vuongngoc1000]

I liked Audi 5/23/12

[@derbigpr500]

What do you know....

[@topgearulz]

hey the dog can come along too

[@twinz29]

needs more power and a manual for the price.

[@AetiusPraetorian]

Hmm... too bad for you.

[@swunt10]

LOL you should watch an american car doing this extrem test. there you will see roll overs.

[@AetiusPraetorian]

LMAO...Does your mommy know you are on her computer?

[@AetiusPraetorian]

0-60mph in 6.2sec? Hmm.. The German reviews have it going 0-100kmh (0-62mph) in 7.0 sec. a whole .8 sec for .2mph more? Don't think so. Also I saw lots of body roll. And they need to update those "rice" LED's. I like the nerwer straight line LED's on the A7 and 2012 A5. These old "dot" type look cheap. At least if you cannot afford the LED's from Audi, you can pick up some LED strips on eBay for $49.99! Maybe put a NOS sticker on it too.

[@ronaldderooij1774]

Sports sedan? Really? And when will the moderator have a hearing device so that he can stop shouting all the time?

[@mandelgrop]

"both zoom and room"- nigga' plaese....

[@derbigpr500]

Thats very little body roll,....please dont leave comments that make you look stupid.

[@lmcneice]

the a4 avant isn't a sports sedan, dumb dumb

[@Ferryooitcake]

It looks like a right lardy piece of shit. My wheelbarrow handles better than that and takes more luggage! LOL!

[@onoitsaWRX]

don't like it.
