[@rs4rs669]

Nothing cooler than a fast estate car 👍🏻

[@stefan5218]

it might be a bit boring i agree, but for me this is the perfect every day car. i been driving a well maintenanced b6 avant for some years now and not one day was i disappointed owning it. you get a little bit of everything: design, build quality, space, decent performance stats and fuel consumption for the diesel models is also very good. i still like the b8 design and am probably going to buy one of these as my next car - the only problem is, i really love the b6 and it was one of THE most desirable cars to drive when i was 18 - now that i own it and customized it the way i wanted it, it is hard to just leave it behind :D guess i´ll be driving it till it breaks, which is at this point very much unlikely but hey maybe in another 300.000km :D

[@diogovieira3362]

B6 was a fantastic model Boring? err sure I guess...

[@stefan5218]

@@diogovieira3362 for me neither the b6 or b8 are boring, but i can understand why for some people this might be the case. audi just did not take any risks with the design and wanted a car that ages well - i think that is what they do best actually. the a4 always had this kinda understatement look, it just swims in traffic and is noticed as a good looking car but it does not scream "here i am look at me" unless you drive an s4 or rs4 - but to be honest i kinda enjoy that.

Estates definitely look better in the A4 and A6 range. Jag XF and Mondeo also good looking estates. My 1st estate was a Vauxhall Omega. Great car and huge boot.

[@Birmingham_racing]

I think Audi's definitely look better as an estate than a saloon. I do like the styling but the interior and user interface is too similar to the 2008 model. The 2016 looks soo much better

[@RKUK6]

Gotta agree with you there, the 2016 model is such a refresh from the older models, very comfortable with a decent dynamic driving mode

[@dezzadiggler3693]

The review was excellent as always; until you mentioned that 'CVT transmission'! Even the VW dsg transmissions aren't that good. Give me a gearbox with a torque convertor anyday.

[@HighPeakAutos]

I totally agree but more and more manufacturers are ditching them for worse alternatives

[@TheMisterB2u]

I didn't know Audi use cvt gearboxes, that would put me off,and early dsg boxes (I believe the dry clutch ones?) had issues- although I'm reading later ones are more reliable!

[@fishmanmtb]

If you want an auto but not the cvt, go for the Quattro as it uses a traditional auto box.

[@DashDriver-z1r]

Dsg are great in my opinion, the cvt in the a4 is pretty reliable if you get the fluid done every 30k. They are not very sporty though. Modern dual clutch transmissions are fuel efficient so manuals are being ditched in favour of these.

[@drogenfeld]

I don't understand what makes you say a DSG is bad. They shift really well and are really fast, and unless you have a stupid amount of power they don't break. And they are smaller and lighter, so unless it's needed for engine spec no car will come with a slower and heavier torque converter.

[@markevans4452]

Watched this video today before going to look at a 2.0 tdi S line 190 at a garage. As a result, knew what to look for and query. Now having the auto box serviced and came away very happy with deal. Very helpful and down to earth explanations - thanks 👍

[@HighPeakAutos]

That’s great. All the best

[@Marty-Mc]

Probably a good buy for a lot of folks, I like the look of Audi's as a whole, but not sure I want to be tarnished with the Audi driver reputation, if you get my drift.

[@w3villz425]

Uhh what reputation?

[@DashDriver-z1r]

Try getting let out of anywhere in a nice looking Audi, some people look at you as the most arrogant sod on the road. The cars come with stigma definitely

[@azza1793]

Can’t be worse than a “Volvo driver”

[@niclaskuhn2942]

Hey Matt, Love your videos! You said, that the TFSI petrol engines would bei problematic regarding the oil burning . That is just half of the truth due to the fact, that after the facelift (starting in 2012, the model you drove) there were no longer these sort of problems. The well-known 1.8 TFSI engine with either 120 or 160 HP (pre-facelift) used to tend having too high oil consumption, but the engine with 170hp was and is still much more reliable. So from this side I can definitely recommend this engine. Also the 2.0 TDIs with 163 HP have - at 400nm - much better torque than the 150 or 177hp versions. And they are even more economical. Greetings from Germany!

[@bapoo]

It’s a good point, and in about 2015 Audi UK agreed to fix affected 2008-12 tfsi engines meeting certain servicing conditions. If one has been “rebuilt” by Audi under their contribution based correction/fix scheme following the US class action they are as good as, if not more reliable than the later B8.5 (2013>) ones. Make sure the tensioner and timing chain was replaced in the process too (will be on the invoice). Absolutely fabulous vehicles, utterly wipe the floor with the competition especially the Quattro, an absolute machine in the wet.

[@brianflower5490]

Tax on my ‘16 plate A4 is £30 and I can easily get 50 plus mpg. The most annoying aspect I find is the MMI SYSTEM ,it’s a nightmare!

[@Ŕụṣṣṣṣṭ]

I've got this model, in red. Bought it at 32k, now at 70k (though it hasn't moved much this year!), and aside from a rear seat belt buckle it hasn't let me down. Very comfortable and quiet for long journeys, S-Line ride is a little harsh on bumpy roads though.

[@Bbill2k2]

Great cars, I picked up one from coparts with minor front damage. An A4 B8 Avant S-Line Quattro 2.0 170 manual here with about 10k of extras inc a lovely panoramic roof, electric seats, front and rear heating 3 zone climate. It's not as fun as the 330d I had or anywhere near as sprightly as my previous 123d but for long trips not much competes for sub £5k.

[@marksmith3469]

My mechanic who I have been using has packed it in only doing servicing from home so I will have to use the other guy who works there I think I woud rather have the skoda estate better value for money

[@richardcrossley5581]

Audi extras: * Power sunroof * Manual windows, front and rear

[@paultaylor9652]

Lovely Jubbly, estates all the way, SUV's are just a fashion statement bit like MPV's were a little over ten years ago.

[@mihaipopa2330]

Even though the comment is a bit late, you should know the door lock issues are caused by the dirt (carbon dust) gathered in the small electric motors that lock and unlock the mechanism inside. Just a bit of cleaning (but quite a lot of disassembly and assembly required) and is good as new. About 2 hours / door. BTW: Keyless entry and keyless go is nice, I've got that stock on my car and is the next best thing after the sliced bread. And the quattro is priceless! Stability during cornering is much better, handling on snow and ice is through the roof but the downside is the fuel economy, I'd say about 0.5 to 1 extra liter of diesel/100km.

[@drogenfeld]

If I ever were to buy an A4, it'd be the 3.0 TDI Quattro. I don't like the barely enough themed 2.0TDI engines, and the timing chain is not that much of an issue honestly. Sure it costs a bit more than the belt to replace but the interval is much longer and you get more out of the 3.0 engine, makes the car quite different.

[@anthonywhite721]

Tell you what fella I really like that Audi. Your get some lovely stock dude

[@HighPeakAutos]

Cheers. The 20" wheels really set it off

[@timcollins380]

Good video. I have a 2012 A4 Allroad as a daily runaround car here in Australia. I bought it with 50k miles. Its done 70k now. I have had the belts done (a lot more than 300 quid here!) and it is very regularly serviced oil changed every 5000miles etc. It has the 7 speed dreaded DSG but no problems so far. I thrash it and it still does 38mpg combined. Its in its 9th year, not a rattle or squeak anywhere which considering it lives outside in up to 40 degree heat in summer and 17 in winter is quite amazing.

[@DurkoppFordertechnic]

I have owned a A4 2ltr diesel s line for a few years now, your review was spot on. Had the clutch and flywheel replaced at £1000 with local garage. Cam belt with water pump was £750 with Audi. Had to replace all of the shocks, due to leaking. The clutch pulley on the alternator seized up which then caused the belt tensioner to rattle back and forth. Front suspension arms upper and lower can start to get noisy causing creaking noises. Front wheel bearings replaced. Air conditioning pressure switch failed. Door mirror indicator LED failed. Mileage now at 130,000. The spec of the cars is weird, I've got sat nav but only part of the postcode can be entered. To have the full postcode entry you pay for higher spec of MMI. No light in the glovebox! My Ford Cortina in the 80s had one. Overall I do enjoy driving it. The car fuel economy shows at 57mpg on my daily commute.

[@MM-tt7hy]

I actually think that Audi avants look better then their saloon counterparts.

[@paulwheeler1199]

I've got a 02 plate 1.9 diesel A4 Advent 130 BHP it's got 198K on the clock but still drives like new. It does 42 to the gallon around town and 50 plus on the motorway. Its the most reliable car I ever owned.I love it. wouldnt change it for anything especially a BMW

The Volvo V90 is much better!! Even the Jaguar XF Sportbrake, even though the sedan is classier!! That's all I'm saying!!

[@archechme]

Ah yes the V90 which came out in 2016 is so much better! Even though the lowest price right now on autotrader for a V90 is £14500 with 90k miles on it. You should be comparing the V90 to an A6 avant. (I do love the V90 but your point is moot against the A4 avant)

[@1972dsrai]

I’ve got the manual 6 speed 170bhp twin exhaust model. Its a beautiful car tbf. Its both practical and has performance. As my daily driver theres very little negative I can say about it. Its the black edition and comes with full leather and tinted windows as standard.

[@advantagemarine7305]

I just bought one of these today, a 2014 in the same colour, 2.0 tdi quattro s line automatic with 175 bhp, no leather and only the basic concert radio but it is to be our second car paired with a Touareg R line 4,2 V8 tdi which has everything, the Audi holds it´s own against the Touareg in the way it drives and the quality cabin feel but obviously no match in power. However, as a family car for us with two kids and two dogs it will work just fine, living in Sweden on a farm the Quattro will be a useful thing in wintertime. Also, I work with boats a lot and this car can tow 2.1 ton and again, the quattro will come in useful on the boat ramps for smaller boats and trailer loads but again I have a Touareg which will pull 3.5 ton if need be. I feel it was a more sensible choice after test driving a C350 AMG touring yesterday which was more fun but......

[@Ginger-Tom13]

Entertaining as always. And I love your warts ‘n’ all reviews. Someone needs to sponsor you to do this across the full ‘affordable’ car spectrum

[@HighPeakAutos]

Haha I never said this was the best model

[@DashDriver-z1r]

The 2.0 tdi came with more bhp options than you can shake a stick at, , the 166 177 or 190 are the best. 134 eco, 143 150 aren't underpowered but they ain't sporty.

[@emeraldviking3637]

I have a red avant, , and yes nicer than the saloon

[@1972dsrai]

I have a 2.0 TDI S Line Special Edition Estate and I love it. Never owned an estate before, but it is really practical, but has the performance when you need it. As for styling, it looks really cool and doesn’t drive like what you’d think an estate would. The only issue is with parking, being so bloody long. I agree about the spec, mine has everything you could need, but no AC for some reason. You’d think that would be standard in an S Line special edition, but no.

[@ln5747]

No AC? What year? If it's black edition AC is standard

I think the 407 estate is also very sleek looking..

[@paulwatson2712]

Word to the wise....drug dealers also wear torn jeans...in Marbella...apparently, so I’m told..

Alfa 156 Sportwagon was a cool looking estate back in the late 90s/early 2000s. Still looks fantastic. (Admittedly the rear styling compromises it as a load lugger, but that's Italian style for you.)

My clutch went at just over 80k, cost £840, dual mass flywheel, mechanic said they go due to amount of dust they throw out causing wear.

[@Hustwick]

Lucky bugger. Dual mass flywheel on my A6 cost me £2400.

[@Tec2Nut]

A4 and A6 Look better than the Saloon , and yes they will bore the shit out of you in Saloons , Volvo s V90 is the best looking estate 👌 but I do ike the audi Avants .

[@Ambienfinity]

Smart. Looks like a decent load lugger.

My A4 Allroad 2.0TDi is boring but it's done what I wanted it to. 43mpg avg. 167k miles on a '12 plate. Time for it go coz I'm bored with it and need better towing capability. Disco 4 looking tempting despite the usual comments

[@trianggaindralukmana2184]

Why audi vw and bmw crazy put timing chain to rear of engine if their timing chain design is flaws and need replacement? Just put it on front

[@ianpurcell7266]

Lol it looks muscular and beefy with the big wheels,but what about the tiny little brake discs which are always the give away that the car has no power.

[@ronlilwood733]

Had one for 18 months. 2.0tdi s line 140. Nothing I’d want to replace it with. It just does everything perfectly. Definitely need tints in estates lol

[@ln5747]

Yes same, perfect size for me.

[@russellnewton6660]

I suppose a Marbella drug dealer sounds a bit more exciting than a Skeggy drug dealer.

[@markratcliffe2652]

Looking at buying an A4 Avant thanks for the quality info

[@doncorleon9]

No lies there. In my circles all Estate owners are ramblers. I checked and confirmed 😅

[@ashtea23]

I think the bmw 335 xdrive f30 is a way better looking car and driving car

[@hassana22]

I have got one 15 plate S line the ride is not comfortable at all. 🌺🌺. As always love your videos

[@DashDriver-z1r]

rzgar badin my dislike of the sline interior was the headliner being dark makes the cabin feel small and cramped. The outsides look much better though, the suspension is firmer in the sline.

[@paulnewton1410]

Does it have optional extra indicators, major form of M56 entertainment. Cheers

[@lesvosace602]

Guys with ripped jeans always want to tint the windows of the a4 avante :P

[@Cernold]

Unfortunately a4 in avant looks bad, A6 avant looks great, but for a4 sedan is only good option
