I've had some very unpleasant experiences with traffic stops within the last year (especially out of state), and have had to pay a good amount for tickets, lawyers, and court fees. After getting pulled over two more times recently, I decided to invest into a radar detector. The capabilities of it are amazing, and it's worth every dollar. They can radar you from the other side of the highway while traveling the opposite direction, and then come chasing you a minute later, trying to hit you with every charge. I had a fairly cheap Whistler Radar Detector back in high school and early college days, and I've never been pulled over with it. It worked really well! Problem is, in other areas they will pull you over for 7-8mph over on a highway, and give you a court date. It's better to know where they are.
I wonder if the 21 A4 has the gen 4 of this engine. I hear it does, if so that’s great because the gen 3 had the typical water pump and oil problems. I have a 21 A4 so
Thank you for watching! I'd say it's faster than 95% of the cars on the road. I drove it for a week, and at times spiritedly. Only two cars I wasn't able to get past by was the new Camaro 2SS and X5M E70.
Hey I am super confused on how this is within point 2 seconds of the audi S5 on the zero to 60. I watched your s5 sportback review last week and saw it got I think a 5.4 or 5.5 0-60.
@@DMCarReviews I know, that is super surprising to me and also very upsetting as a S5 fan. Why do you think the S5 is so slow. And is comparable to a base A4.
@@ronanjobson4504 The S5 is not slow. It's just tuned for smoother starts. The A4 is a mild hybrid, and it gets off the line faster due to that. Obviously in the higher speeds, the S5 will have a more noticeable advantage, but up until 100mph the difference is very minimal.
It’s cause these are quick haha, the 45 TFSi is definitely under rated. My 24 Allroad isn’t out of break in period yet so haven’t launched it or even redlined it, but I can feel low down how hard it pulls. Car & Driver got an 0-60 in 5.2s in a 23 Allroad which is basically S5 numbers in itself.
I have a 24 Allroad in Prestige & it has it along with a ton of more features. I’m not usually a fan of fully digital clusters but Audi does it best imo. My Mk7 GLi had VWs version of it too & it was almost as great, but the Audi’s resolution & frames per are so much better. The cluster in this unit is like B7.5 & B8 Audi, it’s oldddd haha
The 8 speed works better in my opinion. Way more responsive, and has better starts from LC. The ZF8 is one of the fastest transmissions out there. What makes the difference is the 1000+ lbs weight difference.
@@DMCarReviewsI just feel if the q7 had launch control like the dsgs, would’ve done better in 0-60…kinda like the earlier 2019 Arteons vs the 2023’s with the DSG. But yes, of course the weight factors. And indeed, ZF8 is really perfected. BMW nailed it with them. Just got back from Florida with a rental x5, amazing shifts.
@@bradleyscarreviews The Q7 does have launch control, I just didn't use it. The Arteon's had an Aisin, which was very torque limited. I had a 2019 Arteon with a stage 1 tune, and it wasn't the fastest off the line and didn't have launch control, but after 50 it was great and shifts were very fast.
@@DMCarReviews compared to A4 Audis produced the last few years, the exterior look of this car doesn’t look that great, imho. Thank you for the reply. Very good review.
I recently got my A4 Allroad (wagon) delivered, & I’ve owned both Mk7 GLi, & a Mk7.5 GTi in the past & they’re dynamically pretty similar, just way better quality & much quicker! At least with the 7spd DSG. Mines a wagon & fully loaded so a bit different than the one in this video, but man it’s perfect for what it is. 0-60 is 5s which is plenty for a family wagon imo. No creaks or rattles thus far either, which both VWs had since they were new! Audi just does something different & it feels sooo good
@MrHav1k I had a Mk7 GLi & an Mk7.5 GTi, you should absolutely go get an Audi A4 Allroad! Feels very familiar but quality is substantially better. The 45TFSI powertrain is great, 5s 0-60s which is like stage 1 & 2 for the GLi & GTi (manual), & design is just straight up great. I'm so happy with the switch man. I went full on Prestige District Green Metallic with the Black Optics Package ik wagons aren't for everyone but this just feels like the right way to get an A4 imo. Honestly the spec I have almost feels like an S lol
Enterprise employee here, the 3 series drives at least 3 times better than the A4. We have quite a few A4s and 330i's in our fleet and the vast majority of our customers like the 330's a lot more, its a much better car overall.
My 24 A4 Allroad Prestige in District Green & Black Optics finally delivered on June 1st after waiting an entire year & I have absolutely been loving it. Still in its break in period, but even not revving past 5k rpms, performance is great & comfy but tightens up amazingly when in dynamic. My other car is an 2018 GT Sport with a 7spd DCT as well, & the DSG shifts & feels so much better too. I have the Prestige so all the fixins & features & man, even for it being a lil “outdated” in Audi terms, it still feels perfect. I actually chose it over the A6 Allroad bc I didn’t like the newer Audi interior tbh. I love having the actual physical climate controls (real alloys at that) & the A4 has real visible dual exhaust outlets. I can’t wait to get it past 1k so I can launch it man, 0-60 in 5s is plenty enough for a family wagon 😅
Bro the corner you use for testing handling has me laughing every time. You're nowhere near the limit, you can take that at 70 or even 75 in this car. You tires aren't even squealing at 60.
Мне кстати ещё очень нравится Audi которая была в фильме Перевозчик у него вроде в фильме была чёрная Audi A8 она помню в фильме была очень крутая и красивая 🙂😎
I like your spirited driving style, a nice change from the other youtubers.
Thank you!
I didn’t know 2024 Audis had analogue gauges! I prefer those
I think the virtual cockpit looks better.
@@DMCarReviewsI would take the Virtual Cockpit only for the oil temperature gauge 😂
I just bought one three days ago. Amazing car!
Congratulations! Enjoy your new ride.
Great video like always! Love Audi’s
Thank you!
I've noticed the uniden radar the last couple of vidoes. Lol were you pulled over sometime back?

12:17 Am I the only one that notice these 8th generation Camry’s don’t be playing around like just about every time I see one there speeding😭
That's right!
When the speedo blurred I’m like aw yea
Id love an a5

Off idle, this car did 5.65s and the S5 did 5.47s. Let's do the math! That's a difference of 0.18s.

Not a big fan of the recent A4's but the 0-60 time on this was so unexpected. I was thinking like 7.2 seconds 0-60 mph for some reason .. lol
They did those times many years ago, back in the 2006-2013 era
@@DMCarReviews i thought so! Very interesting
@@automotivetv9861 The A4 40 TFSI still does around those times
What would a tune do to this car?
It would make it faster. You'd be looking at mid 4s to 60 from launch control.
first good video review from usa i have see... cause not going like a turtle, nice one
Thank you!
this really needs a virtual cockpit…
Some want it, others prefer old school gauges.
It has a virtual cockpit lmao, this particular model just doesn’t and it looks good 🤷♂️

Wish Audi still offered manuals
I know!
You should review a 2016+ Acura ilx when you get a chance
Good idea!
Does it ride better than the volvo s60?
No! The S60 rides better, and it feels much more cozy than the A4. I also love the seats in the Volvo more, and the audio system.
Is there a tune yet?
I'm not sure!
Is 5-6 seconds not enough performance, lol?
The outside of the car is very unassuming for an Audi A4•
What do you mean?

@@dennisatakent Thank you for watching! I do agree, it does look very simple and can give Jetta vibes.
Base model but looks nice
This is not the base, base model. There is also a 40 TFSI.
I looks like a 2004 car
In some ways!
Stop driving like that. 0:21
Why?
He can drive how he wants you drive how you want dont you. Oh wait you probably cant drive yet
my VW guy always told me the A4 was an AWD GLI/GTI Sedan version!!

Love my 2024 A4, and my previous Audi was an S4. The ride was FAR better in the A4.
Interesting!
Eh, I’d get a 3 series instead

I agree! It's way more fun to drive, has great weight balance, and way much better tech. The Volvo S60 is also a great choice.

Come try it at 75 and let's see what happens :) The video doesn't show the reality of how difficult that turn is.
Watch my Camry Hybrid video and see how the tires squeal at 50-52.

I'll have to find one. It's literally an M550i in a different body style. Similar performance too.
