I like these estate cars, and the All-Road adds that class-less touch that means it will look good anywhere. A real pity that estate cars will be a thing of the past, they just make so much sense.

Great review! I got myself a 2010 A4 Allroad a few years ago and it has been the most reliable ride I've ever had. Mine is a 2,0 TFSI wich is sadly famous for a design flaw in the piston rings. Happily, mine was completely serviced, transmission serviced on time every time and the best part: the 2010 has an actual quattro, no Haldex, just a rugged failsafe torsen lock 💪🏻

Great videos Matt, thank you. Just to be slightly pedantic, most Audi quattro models above the A3 use the 'Torsen' AWD system, the 'Haldex' units are in their transverse engined cars. I owned an A3 Tdi Quattro sportback for 9 years, it was a fantastic car and yes I had the Haldex serviced every 40k miles. It became a spare car to my LR Disco 4 which I have now owned over 8 years. I have owned a couple of Audi A4 Avant's too, all my audis were 100% reliable. Not something I can say about my Disco;-). Advice; keep modern cars in manufacturer warranty (if possible), and service well before the specified service intervals, my disco received it's new engine at 4 years of age courtesy of LR, it now gets its oil changed much more frequently than officially required! It's still utterly brilliant though.

Got the 2.0l 252hp TFSI A4 Allroad in 2017. Great car, comfy, quick and the alcantara interior I optioned is still intact. No issues whatever just yet. Only 'complaint' is that the engine doesn't sound sporty enough, or nice enough, when pushing. I upgraded the gearbox software, and that made a significant difference to how the box responds and that's a great addition.

Great review Mat. I had an almost identical 2.0 TDI one of these for 3 years which I bought to use as a company car. I had it serviced religiously every 6 months, cam belt at 60,000 miles (100,000km here in Australia) I do a mixture of city and freeway driving at our pathetic Police State 100km/h speed limits. I kept the car for 3 years and 40,000 miles and I thrashed it. Not even one pixel on the dash ever went wrong with it. I always put the DSG gearbox into N when waiting at traffic lights on the advice of someone who rebuilds DSG gearboxes to prevent clutch wear.. His advice is to drive a DSG as much like a manual as possible.

Here in Perth Australia my misses wanted to replace her old Ford Escape which she doesn't really like. She found a 2013 Black VW Passat Alltrack with the 2 litre TDI for $15K Aus with 119K kilometres on it. We went and checked it out and it was owned by this old Welsh guy in a nice suburb with the white picket fence etc. etc. Had full stamped service history and drove nicely. Everything seemed to work OK and it was neat and tidy, always garaged, so we took a punt on it and grabbed it. She can't believe the economy difference between her 2.3 litre 4 cylinder Escape and this. It's literally HALF the fuel consumption. I purchased a 2018 VW Passat estate 18 months ago and use it for work. Mine is the 132TSI petrol but is very smooth and economical too. Hopefully I get reasonable life out of them both. I know VW can be a mixed bag with reliability, but we look after our cars and generally have them for a long time. I had a second hand Octavia TDI for 10 years, and it proved extremely reliable selling it with over 250,000km on the odometer and still going strong.

Exactly. And the grabbing feeling (called diff scrub) is somewhat normal behavior of such 4 wheel drive system. It also very much depends on wheel size and width. You may feel almost none with 17 inch 225 tires and quite a lot with 19 inch 245 ones. If you feel this with haldex, then there is a high chance that the diff clutch plates have clamped together permanently and service is needed asap.

Great review as usual Matt, recognised those roads out of your window. Roby mill, Newburgh, parbold. Drove over there today visiting my dads. Keep up the good work mate.

Loved that review Matt, top tip for the engine "out" on the V6. Was going to buy one of these 10 years ago but I found that the manual B8 pedals were way off centre - had to walk away.

Mazda also put the volume control in the centre console, so do the newest BMW's (iX & 2 Series), and I'm sure other manufacturers do it as well that I can't think off the top my head

Loving your videos, any chance you could do a video on catalytic converter thefts? Maybe discussing which cars are easier targets and which ones are well protected? This is a huge issue pretty much worldwide sadly
