I love my B8 S4 so much, picked up a few months ago. I owned a Supercharged Mini Cooper, but with a new Baby wanted 4 doors and comfort. At the same time I could not own a car without the Supercharger noise anymore, it's just an addicting noise. So I finally found my 'Attainable' dream car. :)

I bought a petrol 1.6 ghia 2001 new.I still have it today its done 73.000 never failed an MOT and no advisories..just changed a failed condenser for A/C a must is a cambelt/water pump change every 10yrs still has original clutch and never used spare wheel i use this car now as my ulez car if going into London as i have an X3 3.0 Diesel...in truth i prefer to drive my focus its pure simple n honest great on fuel...they are durable and 100% bullet proof👍👍

I have a 2003 ford focus, it's been a blast, surprisingly fast with the 2.0l ztec.

It’s not the engines. It’s the plastic that lets these cars down. They just don’t last unless you’re willing to spend a fortune keeping them going.

I have a 03 accord v6 paid 2400 for it has been one of the best cars ive ever bought and has plenty of power

My 987.1 base 5spd, with sport chrono,(yes, it sharpens the throttle response and changes the way the rev limiter kicks in), is a blast to drive on narrow, twisty back roads. Might change up to a 981 but the steering? I'll drive one to decide. Great video gents!

Excellent car vid. I just got a 03 . Not so pretty but a super driver. Thanks

hell yeah! does the S come with an autoblipper as standard?

People that bought Caymans always wanted a 911.... Don't buy it.

I wish they sold s4 avants ir s4 allroads of this generation in the US. 😢

Bought a 2011 6spd model brand new and still have it. Has Stage II APR, Eurocode Sway Bars, billet aluminum steering stabilizer, strut bar, and factory sport diff. It is fast and handles way better than it should. I love it and intend to part with it never. This was the last of the breed. Is it a proper "sports car"? By definition, me thinks not, but it gives up very little in return for more seats, a decent trunk, and fantastic AWD.

I have a 2012 base model audi a4 b8.5 and so far it's holding up really well. Now it's time to start modding! Just wanted to make sure it was a good car before doing anything to it. So far so good

thanks for the informative and indepth review, im looking at an 06, ill let you know if i buy it

I have a 05 with 2.0l. 5 speed. This car handles great and gets great gas mileage 28mpg mainly in town driving. Now the bad: had to replace left bearing and cv joint. Had to replace several parts and cleaned the throttle body.

The body roll in the corner is pretty bad, it’s ok for around City, pick up kids, shopping groceries, but if you driving out of the town it’s crap, massive body rolls, stupid slow response steering, and no changes with firm steering turn on. The gear shift is pretty wired, it’s not like slow, it just feels weird, feels like it’s trying way too hard to squeeze the power out of engine.

That sounds good even without PSE

Despite what some of these fools say, be smart, any Certified Master Technician (me) will tell you to change the oil every 5k miles.

Disclaimer: These cars have an EGR valve that sends hot exhaust into the intake, these are a common fault and make the car run rough and if you want to remove this device a ECU tuner is needed.

FYI, manuals don't have "transmissions," they have transaxles but ok

b8.5 s4 is the best!

The resonated awe touring exhaust is a mandatory upgrade on these cars for enthusiasts.

Considering picking one of these up to replace my n55 335i that I just smacked a deer in. How do they compare maintenance wise? That's my biggest concern

I am 6'5" and I fit in to mine perfectly fine. I lowered the seat all the way down and I have room above my head, no issue.

After owning a 2010 DSG for around 5 years and 60k miles, i've seemingly had all the issues you can run into. The cats especially are an issue with heat breaking them apart and blowing out the back. Buy as new as you can, and have at least a few thousand put away in a repair fund. The car itself was wonderful to drive. Passing was never an issue, and tunnels are an experience with an open box intake.

I own a 2012 Audi 3.0t with around 185k miles. Excellent car, very reliable. Had to replace the water pump, coolant crossover pipe, and pcv; which for a car of that mileage is really just maintenance; but it never left me stranded.

Call me old-school but I do prefer physical buttons for climate control etc. Something the volvo just missed out on. I currently own a 2021 Audi q3 and I am contemplating moving to an xc60. I have a 3 yr old which explains why safety is high on my priority list. The display gauge isn't configured at all. Which is something I love on my Audi virtual cockpit.

You are the man

A lot of people buy these then get rid of them after a few years. 3 or even 6 owners in 10 years. I looked at a nice one where I would be the 4th owner in 10 years. To me that suggests maybe it's best to stick with my top spec CX5 turbo instead, I can pretend I’m driving a sports car 😎

I had a 2002 ZX5 from 2002 to 2016. Put about 140,000 miles on it. Most trouble free car I've ever had. Still wonder why they used a plastic thermostat housing that would eventually crack internally and leak coolant. At least a replacement thermostat and housing only cost around $35 from Amazon and was easy to change. Front brake pads and rotors changed two or three times. Still had the original rear brake shoes when I traded it in! I remember someone said the rear wheels were only there to keep the rear end from dragging on the ground. Sounds about right.

Same engine as mine. Still running like a clock. Does that happen to be a 6 speed?

I currently have a 2006 Accord coupe v6 and a 2007 Accord sedan 4 cylinder. No way would I choose the four cylinder over the six. For a little sacrifice on fuel economy you get much better power that to me equates to a more fun-to-drive car. I've owned a 1991 coupe and a 2001 V6 coupe and never had costly problems out of either of those either. They are just good vehicles that seem to run forever.

I had a 2010 for 8 years. I put 72000kms on it during that time. It was a stage 1 car from factory (Stasis package) and between maintenance and broken things it cost me thousands. I would do it again in a heartbeat. That car was amazing and winter driving bliss. They are expensive and the older ones have known issues. If you know what you’re getting into go ahead and get one. Pricey but if you can afford it they’re great!

Should I?

Hey I been thinking to sell my 07 Tundra Truck, to get a S4 o S5 to enjoy the drive. Do you think can be a good idea to sell a reliable truck to get a unreliable car, why unreliable ? coz always is same problem (timing) Any idea/opinion thanks

Do you have to use the oil filter drain or can you just take the whole thing off like usual?

I had a 2012, absolutely loved it. The lower rad hose started blowing off so I got rid of it. I still miss it, never figured out the problem

I used to have a 2005 Ford Focus ZX5 SES trim level in light green. I was in a bad car accident in early March 2012. I do have a neighbor that has a 2001 Ford Focus SE in a sedan. I liked to drive her car for nostalgia feeling in driving it. Now I drive a 2020 Ford Escape SE in BLACK!! I do missed that Focus. My Focus was automatic. It was my 2nd car. It was easy from driving a 1998 Ford Contour to a 2005 Ford Focus. It was my favorite car to drive around in.

.

I just bought a 05 4 cyl coupe ex with a manual transmission, has 170 miles but super clean. Sounds like I made a good decision. Thanks for the information!

Recently bought one a 6MT as well and I’m obsessed with it. Have my fare shaper of euro cars and I love them

May I ask the Car ramp is how high is it please?

Thank you !!!!!

I have the 2003 accord coupe v6 got it in 2018 with only 41,500 km. Old man owned. Long story short the transmission went out cost me almost as much as I paid for the entire car to rebuild it with a sonnex update kit. Been driving it each day since up to 89,000 km now. Otherwise great car but due to the inherent transmission issue please stay clear of 2003 v6 unless you enjoy spending 3800 for a rebuild and finding a trustworthy rebuilder is a challenge. I seen my tear down and my sonnex rebuild kit and other parts that went in. A 13 hour job with the tear down of the car and transmission and then rebuild and placing it all back together.

Doin a Zetec swap after my second SPI does what the first did. I get more power, reliability-there’s room to modify and I can actually find repair videos being done to the Zetec engine. What’s to lose?

'Very poor acceleration'... guys you have a 1000 lbs of people in the car.

the smiles and giggles in the driving impressions segment sold me on getting one of these

I have a 2005 accord v6, it’s been a long time that I faced with a TCS sign on dash, no one could fix it!

I'm looking into buying one of these wagons for my business. This has been a great informative video. Thank you for taking the time to make this.

Can confirm, mine broke at 198k. Piston rings gave from clogged cats. In the process of dropping a 96k mile engine in it in the next few weeks. Going with the whole overhaul. I do envy the stick ones mine is Auto. Can praise the how reliable they are, highly recommend they are super balanced platform and my favorite car to drive.
