[@stigmoltu-jacobsen]

Thanks for another excellent review! Get well soon! Yes, it’s a great colour, almost like my Pacific Blue Jaguar S-Type. If you hate diesels you’ll hopefully be converted by driving a late model 530d BMW or a 3.0d Jaguar XF, both lovely, fast and quiet long distance cars. You’re right about the CVT-box, it’s crap, and I’m amazed to find it in an Audi, or any German car for that matter. The S-tronic and DSG (VW) are superior in comparison.

[@MyASMaRk]

Up until November 2018, I had a manual Audi A4 Black Edition Plus. It was a cracking car. Sadly, I had to sell it because of a house purchase. I loved the Audi, and if I can afford to have another in the future I wouldn’t hesitate. I had mine mapped from 177bhp to 215bhp and 380Nm torque to 480Nm. Put some decent rubber on the front wheels and it helps restrict the torque steer. Loved my A4 though; was very sad to see it go. Keep on making the videos. Really like the honest opinions in each review.

[@HighPeakAutos]

Thank you! Great choice of car :)

[@MyASMaRk]

Thanks. Replaced it with a Corsa Nurburgring, which has been nothing but a hassle. It’s spent almost as much time in the garage being repaired, as it has on the road! Thank goodness for a highly comprehensive warranty! Live and learn 🤣

Apologies for the horrendous royalty-free music at the start of the early ones

[@barrywhite5899]

I had this b8 shape when they first come out in 2008. Although you have the facelift version here. The MMI audio buttons I remember were down by the gearstick if you went for the MMI High that came with the sat nav. Anything basic and they put them in front of the gear change for some reason. I had the 160 bhp 1.8t and that also had the torque steer issue. I’ve got a b9 avant black edition now.

[@HighPeakAutos]

Yeah its annoying. I've had higher spec models and the controls are easier to reach. The B9 is lovely. This particular A4 changed my opinion on Audi to be honest, I'm impressed

[@bensmithkent22]

Got a b9 sline with 19s on it my first a4 since the first gen that i had as a boy at 19. The wheels feel strange in corners everything else about it is superior to the xe portfolio i just got rid of bar the handling its just vague scrabbly and i cant drive it as smoothly in bends. Its got 245s on it too. Agree on the box the 40tdi just does not feel as fast as the xe did despite repeatedly being quoted as faster. Its a hell and i mean a hell of a lot quieter though engine noise wise.

[@jimyl77]

Im totally with you on the whole diesel thing, thankfully ive never owned one and never will! I bought an old v8 Mercedes two years ago, love the sound and torque of it, also been perfectly reliable. Love the channel and look forward to more!

[@TheAllMightyGodofCod]

I really like that colour! I am finding myself more into Audis... They are not as "shouty" as a BMW or Mercedes, they are like Volvo, a bit more discrete. I am not that sure on 2 things, that slightly shiny look on the steering wheel and the black lining on the roof... Doesn't the car look a bit too dark and gloomy with that? I always enjoyed the lighter colours. As for diesels, well I love the economy you get from one but I also love the extra torque and the low reving engine! It is great on motorways so I might buy one even if it was not more economical. A gasoline car can go higher in the rev range but let's be honest, to have that extra adrenaline from it, you would need at least a Honda car and even that can't go to motorcycle territory and that is where the gasoline magic happens.

The Multitronic gear box was advertised on TV with an Elvis figure dangling from the interior mirror not moving when the car changed gear because it had no gears! I had an A6 with the same box and to make the drive a bit more exciting, I always used the ‘manual’ mode. Lovely touring car though. I know it’s an old video but that ‘music’ sounded like I was on hold to some Company and I expected to hear ‘your call is important to us’. I’m glad you decided to ditch it.

[@conovi5738]

Audi a4 also has the scroll wheel of the infotainment on the center console but thats the higher spec with Audi MMI audio The one you have on the video is Audi concert or symphony and is the lower audio spec

Continuously Variable Transmission, a kind of opposite of how it sounds. I never liked these gearboxes , feels like you are overrevving in neutral. . However Audi have done a great job in this car and the gearbox. There's lots of them out there now. That's nice one that you have and the Diamond Cut alloys set it off.

Great little video. One point only... folk do not all buy diesels to save money. My missus drives a Golf GTI mark 7 manual which has a magic little petrol engine. I drive a diesel Boxer Van, which is great. Driving a large petrol van is very frustrating .... nothing about money..... they just can’t pull loads in the gear you want.

[@HighPeakAutos]

You're right. Point taken

[@Andy-dz1jv]

i prefer to drive diesels over petrol. In a petrol you have to rev high to get maximum BHP in a diesel you have lots of torque and power exactly when you need it lower speeds . i cant drive to the shop while red lining my petrol car to get maximum power , that would just be embarrassing. In the diesel ill have torque, power at lower speeds. Not everyone will agree or feel the same but works for me

How much did you pay? The 3.0 V6 versions seems to be very expensive

[@TheTommyPT]

The reason why you don't have the MMI controls near the gearbox is because whoever bought it cheaped out by opting for the MMI 3G low. If you had an MMI 3G high then the controls would be below and feel more upmarket and posh.

[@eugenebarry5376]

Loved the Audi of old but A4 in Ireland are crazy money and it seems every young man or woman has one here. S-line is must as standard cars are so bland and bare. A8 is probably only Audi I'd buy. CVT box in any car is dreadful. Definitely man flu. Great work.

I have 2013 A4 S-line 2.0T in Daytona Gray and Alcantara suede seats which are great in the summer. Had A4 since 1997 model. This car is actually better than current version in terms of quality. Miss the under seat storage my 2006 had though. Current model does not have that flat bottom steering wheel which is a must have for me now. Living in Canada I have to say that dealership service is overpriced here and poor quality. Had issues with automatic side mirror adjustment that they addressed several times and finally my warranty ran out and just have to adjust it manually (refuse to pay 1200$ plus labour for new mirror). Everytime I am ready to change from A4 to BMW or other competitor I go back to Audi as they always offer the best value for quality. Just have to choose the right balance of options. All black interior has always been my favorite, especially with the black roof liner on this version. Start button tends to chip with age. OEM summer tires sucked and decided to use All season Michelins instead which saved some money and time twice a year. I might actually get the Allroad s-line version next time.

Personally, I got chin rash, tonguing my granny at Christmas but luckily never passed on a communicable disease. Very considerate. Unlike Audi interiors which have all the charm of a motorbike side car from 1960. You see someone in one, probably holding a small dog with goggles and it looks cool until it's your turn to get in one. It's like winning a ticket to a Rick Astley concert; happy you won but not something you brag about cos you spend your energy pretending you took advantage of the weekend to make prosthetic legs from recycled lawnmower parts for worm infested kids in Biafra. Audi should be aware of this but don't bother cos German management would rather spend an entire Tuesday afternoon discussing the pantone shade of a 5 amp fuse.

I've got to disagree with you on Diesels. I used to swear by petrol cars, until I got my Saab 9-3 1.9 tid. That thing flew, and had a great auto box, and was so smooth and effortless to drive. It did oversteer slightly in tight bends, but was a great motorway cruiser, and it was quiet. I had it 5 years almost, without anything but the water pump dying on me, so pretty trouble free, and it never let me down, apart from one of the rear doors randomly locking for weeks at a time, and the ignition and cim module in the steering column having a slight problem, which I overcame. Now I drive a Volvo V50 2.4 D5, and that is even quicker by quite some margin. And it is the only diesel I know that sounds like a V8 when you floor it. But on tickover, its like a Swiss clock, so quiet. But mine is only a 5speed auto, so I miss the 6th gear that I had in the Saab, but only a little. Like the Audi, the gear changes are quicker in semi auto mode, quite a lot quicker actually. I think fully automatic is designed to give a relaxing drive, it is what it is. But at least you have the option to wring the cars neck when you really want to. Lovely colour combo on the Audi btw. My V50 is a slightly darker blue, but metallic, so i'm happy with it.

CVT's are the devils work, I loathe them. We have such good gearboxes now, WHY DOES CVT exist?

[@HighPeakAutos]

Exactly!

[@marcuswall3857]

Obviously you haven't driven a Subaru lately

[@primarylost]

How so? Toyota/Lexus have been working on them for almost 20 years now, they're splendid.

[@kramsenoj1]

@@marcuswall3857 just sold one, didn't like it, CVTs are not a good gearbox for spirited driving

Is the gearbox a cvt unit?

[@listenmullahsb]

A 2015 model with a cvt?? Thought DSG would be the only auto option nowadays

[@andrewgray1934]

Any reason why you have changed your intro?

[@newbeginnings8566]

Please, please stop record without that annoying repetitive jingle playing over your commentary. Change the music or do without. Spoils your efforts. I thought the colour was very much old man. Not sure what the mileage was but that steering wheel looked mighty shiny. Buying a better equipped version makes all the difference. I have an Allroad with the 2.0tfsi engine and it is a more pleasant experience. Having good options makes the car feel something special. That did look like a real, tired, boring interior.

[@HighPeakAutos]

I need to get an intro made with some less irritating music

[@hermanmunster3358]

One mans pleasure is another mans pain, I guess, when it comes to music.

[@James-yy4vl]

I like everything about the all road version, and I’d get one ..... except for that horrible plastic bumper kit

Covid 19!! Before it was famous 🤣

[@HighPeakAutos]

You saw it here first!

[@Fradiger27]

How can you check.which gearbox the car has cvt , s tronic , multi tronic pls respone

[@LousWRX]

The CVT is on front drive models only. S-tronic (dsg) on S3, and S4, S5, and RS models, the A4's 09-13+ use 6 speed, and 8 speed auto on model year 12 and up, and in 2017 they moved to a 7 speed DCT.

Why did you buy an Audi without Quattro?

[@PINKFLUFFYDICE]

Bought by bell ends , very true 🤣

[@noamzacks3315]

Have Audy fixed the poor leg room in the back already...?
