Something he didnt mention is, how good it is in winter conditions. This is probably the best sedan for driving in the winter.

Doesn't scream for attention and still sporty out on the road with exceptional daily driving. Love it :)

Nav's Showroom So true. I test drove one yesterday and was impressed, to say the least. It's quiet and solid as can be, and then it feels like a race car in the corners with that brilliant chassis and Quattro system. Plus the various buttons and switchgear put other cars to shame. I could go on and on, but it was one of the best test drives I've ever had.

This is the best (complete) Audi A4 review I have seen since the 2017 model has been available.

Interiors of Audi are one of the best in business, same as Honda, Acura... What?

Love this car! The quality of Audi seems to be going up and up over the years.

Even though you posted this review 6 months ago, I really think the 2017/2018 Audi A4 is an excellent car. Great review, Sam. Thanks.

Lots of positive reviews for the new A4

One of the best A4 reviews I’ve seen!

Just purchased the Audi A4. Excited to get accustomed to it 😁

That warm tan leather arm rest does not go with the cold aluminum on the doors.

The scenery was incredible. What a great place to test it out.

Best Audi A4 Review I have seen so far. Good Job.

The best review in my opinion

I love Audi. They are so well balanced cars. I would recommend one to a friend even thinking about a BMW or Mercedes. I just really like what Audi brings to the road. Great review Sam.

had you actually driven one you know that Audi has done a great job of balancing the car. There is very little understeer on the Quattro version of the B9.

Looks amazing. The buttons between the user interface and cup holders seems like a bad idea to be right there where you place your drinks. But if that is the worst, big deal. I love the clean exterior lines.

Fantastic job on the review, probably the best review of this car I've seen. I was a little concerned about the interior rattle in your comments, but it's probably not that bad since your overall chassis rating was still 5 stars. Can't wait to see your review of the A5 Sportback when that becomes available, that's at the top of my short list for next car.

Great job on the Audi dude, I've always thought there kinda like a luxury subaru,both sweet rides but I'll take the Audi everytime,gonna look for the challenger vlog, your you tube is great man!

The A4 is a cheeper more reliable option that is more suited to the everyday man. Cost of repairs are far cheeper than the S4 and the A4 scores a more reliable rating. Is the S4 faster? Yes, but it's a performance/sports car so, you know. But that doesn't mean A4 can't go fast. Stock it's a fast car clocking a 5.4 0-60. Besides, you can tune the absolute shit out of it with a 4.4 0-60 off the stage 1. So the engine is practically begging to be modified. Bottom line, the A4 if you are looking for a daily driver and long term reliability. S4 if you are all about that juice and are willing to pay for it. Personally, I went with the A4 for the mods.

I love your videos! You're so professional and knowledgeable... The way it should be! I've been watching your videos for years, and I know I was subscribed to you, but it's saying I'm not... Maybe youtube unsubbed me? I've heard of that happening, and that's not cool if that's what it obviously is, because I didn't do it. Anyway, I'll subscribe again after this comment. Thanks for making all these great videos! Keep up the good work!! -Chris

Thanks Sam. Love your reviews. Nice car too. Pity about inferior interior plastics ;-) But still it cuts a handsome profile.

I just can,t get over the fact that the Audi A4 I got rid of 4 years ago was at the garage 11 times in 14 months. I will NEVER have faith in this company again. Switched to a GMC Terrain and have had absolutely no problems.

perfect 👌. perfect review as always Sam. I really would like to see you do a review on Infiniti Q50.

Nice review sir...would have been nice to see the manual tested as well...I would imagine the fun factor would have been upped even more.

@herrdoktorknowitall

correct me if I'm wrong but from what I've read the manual gets the cheaper electronic version of the Quattro from the A3/VW's not the classic mechanical diff version. That means you basically have a FWD car until the wheels start to lose grip and the AWD kicks in. So on the one hand you get more fun and engagement on the other hand you give up a more balanced RWD-biased (60-40%) drive.

Very good review,

Very solid review! I appreciate how you pointed out it's got room to improve. For instance, I'm always driving with a large bottle of water and it would not fit in this car.

I have one of these as a rental this week, 2017 A4 Quattro, base model. I was truly shocked at how much fun it it. I've test driven Audi a few times before, and unfortunately the dealer near my home is not near enough to my home, and is entirely staffed by fucking idiots who apparently don't understand the concept of selling cars. When I took a test drive a couple of years or so back I found that the A4 was sluggish and boring. The S4 was a blast, but then it should be for the $50K or so they wanted for it. Fast forward to this week and I drove this out of the airport and merged onto the freeway, if I had not have been paying very close attention it could have hit 90 in moments. It really does feel almost as quick as the BMW 335, which for a base model is amazing. And that famous Quattro system glues this car to the road so very nicely. I'm not currently in the market for a sedan because of family needs. But in snow belt this car would be quite awesome. I just wonder if it could be reasonably configured without the price point getting too silly. The one I have this week is knocking on the door of $40K and I still feel like they have withheld a bunch of options to punish me for not buying the upgrade packages. Knowing how German cars could be I'd be curious as to how silly the price could be to have some of the nice toys. Finally, although my base model doesn't have this, the LED display binnacle is a wonderful idea. It's time we retired off the stupid mechanical gauges. Now that we have high definition displays, there is no longer a need for ugly old dials.

@ZCT808

Honestly, that's such an old fashioned way of thinking. I remember my father complaining about electric windows in a car, because there's 'more to go wrong.' Modern gauges are completely electronic these days, it's not like there is a mechanical link to the engine. I'd also say there's a false comparison with a phone, because a phone also has a touch screen, so any glitches or issues may relate to user input. Whereas an electronic display on a car is basically a modern TV screen. I don't know about you but my iPhone doesn't glitch out, and my TV doesn't suddenly mess up. A simple LED color screen is not exactly bleeding edge technology; it's been around and is tried and tested. I've driven several vehicles with electronic displays and they are far more versatile that old school gauges and needles.

The exterior styling specifically the front could have been more vorsprung imo. The single frame grill needs a new shot of life. The C class looks more special.

Very curious to see how it compares to the competition. Mercedes has always been about comfort and luxury, BMW has always been about the driving experience, and the Audi has been a mix of the both. Without being in any of them I am leaning more towards the Mercedes but not a bog standard one, leaning more towards the C63 because I like the luxury and comfort that you get from the car and it's the only one that offers a v8 when compared to the competition.

well technically yes. but to call it the "base" model is disingenuous because it implies there is some other model. There is not, at least not in the US market. There are two engine options the Ultra 180hp only available in FWD and the 252hp version available in FWD and AWD. I wouldn't call the later a "base" model. Besides you are reviewing the very top trim level. So you were reviewing the very top A4 with the most powerful engine one can get in the US.
