Worth $60,000? | 2020 Audi S4 Review

[@omars.8073]

That Palm Springs scenery is just a slap in the face when you're stuck like me in a grey Indiana winter. Great review, tho! :D

[@forrestsautoreviewsofficial]

LOL! I'm so sorry! Sending warmth from afar! 🔥🔥

[@kennynunez6792]

RS3 done. The S4 is a conservative sedan, in a shrinking market. It wasnt designed for the hardcore enthusiast, rather a business person or individual that wants the anonymity but still have a slice of pie when desired.

[@JulezWinnfield]

What is a "hardcore enthusiast" exactly? Since the overwhelming percentage of owners aren't professional racecar or even track rated drivers, this car should more than meet the performance needs of its owners.

[@kennynunez6792]

J High It is meant as a broad stroke of the true car enthusiast. A person that values the essence of pure driving, regardless of the badge on the vehicle. Someone who eschews the ordinary and accepts nothing less than a singular connection to man and machine.

[@JulezWinnfield]

@@kennynunez6792 Oh, okay. I thought you meant somehow who just likes to drive really fast. Your description makes it sound like a true car enthusiast is someone who achieves near orgasmic levels of pure bliss while driving🌋🌋. I must've been driving the wrong types of cars all these years.

[@xFlared]

@@kennynunez6792 There are many car enthusiasts with varying preferences. Be it going fast, track driving, or just simply having a vehicle and admiring it. The term "enthusiast" is broad and has various applications on a broad spectrum which in essence will always be valid as long as some sort of obsession to cars exists. A person who decorates their vehicle with fake pieces just for looks because they like it is no less an enthusiast than a hardcore track driver with trophies. In addition there are car enthusiasts that never had a car in the first place.

I know this video is 4 years old now, but nows the time! I just bought a fully loaded Premium Plus S4 in Tango Red for 40k with 32k miles. Sticker on mine was just under 64k.

[@hittingreens5646]

Not sure comparing this to a C8 is a fair comparison. The S4 is a "do it all" car. I know you don't get winter where you're at but try driving the C8 in snow.

[@khoaphan8490]

As much as I am an Audi fan, I wish they’d bump up the power to compete with the M340i. I know it’s possible with a tune but it’s be nice to have extra power under warranty.

[@zaaaaaak]

every Audi review I see makes me want one

[@vomErsten]

Counterpoint to the C8 comparison: this car has four doors and five seats and, overall, more practical utility. It can do more...while being damn quick in a straight line. So you lose some performance, but gain mucho utility.

[@darrinscoilsclouds1498]

I have the same exact car, same specs, same color. I love it. Oh so very much warranty runs out in one year that it’s tune time.

[@Tracks777]

lovely video

[@forrestsautoreviewsofficial]

Thank you! :)

[@Doogerauoy]

Not a fan of the wheel design.

[@elusivellama]

Those wheels are uninspired, about the only thing I don't like about the car.

[@Pharcyde90]

Best video I’ve seen on the car, ty!

[@lex350us]

Red seats are gorgeous

[@quandalemuncher2337]

I really don't like those wheels rest of the car looks nice

[@rodneythompson8861]

So my genesis g70 3.3t sport was the better choice. Great review as always

[@forrestsautoreviewsofficial]

That's a great pick!

[@ZS-xi4xk]

Performance wise/price wise yes. Not for efficiency, comfort, or quality interior/exterior design wise.

[@rodneythompson8861]

ZS 5885 quality and exterior the genesis is superior.. the interior is for the s4 only

[@ZS-xi4xk]

@@rodneythompson8861 the quality in materials used definitely goes to Audi. The quality control in exterior panel design, lighting, and overall put togetherness goes to Audi. I'd still choose a Genesis, but they don't provide the same quality level as its German competitors.

[@TasimanaOG]

@@rodneythompson8861 nah s4 is better overall, and will last longer (single turbo) + launches harder due to awd in most conditions (has done 4.1 0-100)

[@GOOGLM3_NY]

As an owner of a 2020 prestige. Homework was not done.

[@forrestsautoreviewsofficial]

How so? This was an event hosted by Audi corporate who provided us with information about their new vehicle. Not saying it was perfect but all the changes were definitely covered.

[@GOOGLM3_NY]

@@forrestsautoreviewsofficial yes I agree. Sorry, I see lot's of people bashing the vehicle without ever having experienced it. If you set up individual mode it can be even more angry and aggressive than dynamic and trans sport. Sorry they didn't provide you with vehicle with the sports package. That torque vectoring diff is 👌

[@Kiss__Kiss]

@@GOOGLM3_NY Red Calipers denote the Sport package, ie.. The Sport Rear Diff.

[@the92r]

wish the rims were a little better

[@khoaphan8490]

The black optics package comes with really nice wheels

[@wazgoodjj]

I'm sorry but Genesis and Kia's lineup is starting to make Audi seem boring, stale and way overprice.

[@jagdishrathore_902]

U r amazing man . I really love the u give the info of the cars❤

[@crownr0yalonice]

Back to Lakey! Woooooo. Loved this review.

[@marckamel2275]

Best detailed car review Thank u

[@xFlared]

Which endless money pit do you prefer more. This or M340i?

[@mikaelmilnikov]

Admiral Ackbar lease is the answer

[@xFlared]

@@mikaelmilnikov I will never lease a car. I'd buy used always. For the amount I lease 1 car for 3 years I can pay off a used one, sell it, and get more than half of the value back to reinvest into another car. Plus it's not really your car. You rent it. I know this is superficial from my mindset, but I feel much better knowing that I own a car that I wanted, instead of borrowing it and babying it for the used market. The experience itself is more impactful and lets you appreciate almost any car you have, even if it's a corolla. While leasing is almost like renting a car for a day. A regular guy can rent a Ferrari for a special occasion. But the experience of owning one is completely different.

[@ssr1680]

Hey Forrest are you going to review the Cadillac ct5v soon?

[@forrestsautoreviewsofficial]

ssr1680 hopefully!

[@yolandaashford634]

Very informative nice review

[@Tracks777]

amazing stuff

[@jestersdead6995]

Compared a 4 door sedan to a Vette.....stopped watching. Buh bye.

[@Jerald2251]

Great Review I really like it.

[@samrichards3409]

great video😀

[@KandiiLoverr]

that infotainment screen is the definition of being an "afterthought tablet". wish they incorporated it into the design more

[@ZS-xi4xk]

This was the trend back in 2016 when this redesign was released.

[@ryanm9628]

Get one used for under 40k with 20k miles.

[@jkandybar]

Beautiful car. However, at this price point it shouldn't have a plastic dash. Come Audi, give us some stitching.

[@ZS-xi4xk]

Newsflash, every car at this price point has a plastic dash. Any stitching that you see at this price is fake faux stitching in the plastic.

[@jkandybar]

ZS 5885 Not in my 2018 BMW 540 that had a $63k sticker.

[@ZS-xi4xk]

@@jkandybar nah man. 5 series dont have leather dashes. Its soft injected plastic with faux stitching, not real leather. And if your 540i was 63k sticker is must've been pretty lax on options.

[@jkandybar]

ZS 5885 I have the leather dash option that replaces the sensa tec. I spend money on elevating the cabin. I never get the bullshit driver aids that jack up price.

[@jkandybar]

ZS 5885 The sensa tec looks great by the way, much better than flat plastic.

[@Ifyoudonttakeitucantfakeit]

Compared to a Performance Model 3 it looks dull and I suspect any owner will need to start smoking a pipe! Why are German car makers fitting these massive ugly grills at the moment? They are hideous!

[@swanblake]

Way too much money. Hard Audi new design language of adding as many slabs of random plastic up front. I would get a Genesis G70 3.3TT with rwd bias awd system and a vehicle that doesn't understeer into every corner. That or BMW 340I if you want to spend $60k

[@jpizzledrizzle]

Seriously? BMW has some of the biggest plastic grills. Looks at the new 4 series.

[@grnpnzer]

" this will be a full featured review..." No skidpad numbers, no lane change/transition for dynamics, no braking numbers for 60-0, no acceleration numbers in the lane change/passing variety.... Just another superficial audi review sponsored by oh maybe Audi usa who gave you the car for a couple of hours.....wow sounds very full featured all right. Let's call this what it really is.... an audi advertisement at least that would be honest.

[@forrestsautoreviewsofficial]

Well it would be an advertisement if I got paid.

[@TasimanaOG]

@@forrestsautoreviewsofficial dont listen to the haters, i personally love the unbias and very informative reviews! i just got a 2020 a7 55tfsi thanks to your review :)

[@corneluscedric2690]

For the price you can get a Tesla m3 performance that is so much better in every way. Audi is so outdated
