S4 is the 'thinking man's' RS4. £15K less to buy, it costs less to insure, double the service interval of an RS4 and yet how often could you really exploit that 1 second quicker to 60 the Rs4 gives you? (Ok maybe every set of traffic lights) but hey .... the S4 is just so easy to live with as a daily

You've nailed it Keith. Don't get me wrong, I'd still love and RS4 but my S4 will give me 85% of the experience 👍

Hi Ped. From a fellow B9 S4 owner I've been waiting g for this for a while and I'm so pleased you're enjoying it as much as I am. Having not owned the older S4 its pleasing to hear the B9 us an improvement. Am.looking forward to your next S4 vlog.

Thank you Petrol Ped - I've just taken delivery of a 2018 B9 S4 Avant; you were right with everything - what a cracking machine! Thank you for all the advice here on your channel!

That engine sounds epic. Think I'd love one of these.

I like you had an Audi S4 from 2015, ex demo from Sheffield Audi. I loved it. I knew a guy at Audi who told my a way to take to 414BHP without affecting warranty. And it also stopped the max speed. I drove a lot in Germany and really most of Europe. One thing to note, Get a driver's mirror for the passenger side. Not expensive, but really good. Buy that in Europe as more standard. If it is raining, and you want air, side skirts are handy, especially if a smoker. Great company in Poland distributes via eBay. Love your videos.

Good review, I have the Saloon version and I totally agree with your comments, the car is ace, seats are absolutely wonderful (I have the Magna Red), and the sound from the exhaust and engine is spot on.

On a trip up north to Blackpool fully loaded with 4 passengers I got over 40mpg, even my commute to work on the tiresome M4 I get 35+ which includes a quick boot passed all the middle land morons.

I like the sound of it. What people do not understand is that it is not being able to afford or not car A, B or C. It is all down to personal preference and what actualy suits one better. The more power does not mean more fun or that it is the best for one. Shumacher daily driver for example was a diesel Fiat Croma but he could have loads of powerful cars as a daily car. My car that is my pride and joy is a 1995 Fiat Punto 1.2 8v running on LPG. I have spent money on it doing some upgrade just because I wanted to. People tell me that the money I have spent on it, I could have bought another car but what people do not understand is that I do not want or need other car. I love my car and I will not get rid of it for nothing nor for any other car. I have driven many many cars but not even a handful of them gives me the joy that my car does. Man, a 1.2 going the way it goes in the hilly Madeira island...give me lots of joy. It is 24 years old and it goes to MOT and passes with a clean sheet. Well, this is what I have to say. My personal opinion. Have fun with your toy!

I had a B9 Avant for nearly 2 years, albeit a 3.0 TDI. It was a really nice car to drive although I wish it had had the Tiptronic gearbox instead of the S-Tronic because it was a little slow and dim at junctions. The other thing I would have liked was if the navigation screen folded away like the A6 etc, first world problems I know, but would have really finished the cabin off. The S4 sounds awesome, glad you love it!

The face camera and POV camera over the should are Sony ActionCams, the 1080HD version. You can get them in 4K too.

The Sony mic is good enough to use without a lapel mic too.

Great video! Glad you're enjoying the S4. Have had mine over a year now coming from a Golf R. Haven't looked back since. Just a heads up, but I spotted on mine recently that it'll sometimes default away from Google Maps during driving, giving the display similar to 3:05. If you go into the Nav menu (I think right click), it'll take you to map options, giving you Google Maps whilst you drive. Not sure if it's to do with how densely populated the surrounding area is and apologies if you already twigged this. Hope it helps and safe driving!

Been to my local dealer today, Oxford Audi. I’m still considering one of these, S5 Sportback also. Turns out I’ve mulled it over too long. No longer available, both S4/5/6 and RS models no longer listed in the wake of WLTP, removed 8 months ago. They’ll be on sale again later in the year but the ‘S’ will be diesel only! Only the RS models will be petrol, if one can afford the price of entry. So that’s a bit of a downer. Keep hold of this Peter, dying breed.

Our secret 😜😂

Audi switched to the 8speed ZF because they use it in nearly everything else… simplifying production across the line. The 7Speed DSG in the B8 certainly can take the power- there are plenty of 500+ tuned S4\S5s out there with 150k+ miles. The B9 is really nice all around - and the cross-stitched seats will look better over time - the leather in the B8\8.5 stretches around the seat pan and it doesn’t look as nice as it did new. The real deal breaker is the elimination of the 6speed manual with the B9 - for reason, I don’t see parting ways with my tuned 2016 B8.5.

It actually because of your Audi s4 estate ( in the USA we call them wagons) I’ve started saving to get a Audi A4 allroad. I figure it will make a great dad mobile and will work great for living out in the country like I do. Also winters here can come with a lot of snow.

Oh they are definitely better. Just a question of able willing or able to pay the extra 😜

I really want one of these one day. Its a shame they are quite hard to find in Australia. The sedan is way more common, but the Avant is the better choice.

The Avant does so much as well as just going VERY fast 😜

Hi just started watching because I'm interested in switching from BMW to Audi, S4 or RS4 Avant. What's the braking like in S4 vs RS4 when scooting along?

The RS models bounce on the limiter 👍
