Driving my new Audi S4 (B9) - Who needs an RS4 ?! [FIRST DRIVE]

  • Finally I can bring you my driving impression of my new B9 Audi S4 Avant. How different is it to my previous B8 S4 ? How has the move from Supercharging to Turbocharging changed the driving charachteristics ? Is it really worth spending an extra £20,000 to get the RS4 ?
    In this video I answer all of these questions...

    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

    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 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. Thank you ever so much, I am seriously thinking of getting a 2020 S4 and your comments have helped

    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.

    • @PetrolPed
      @PetrolPed  5 років тому +3

      WOW...I knew they weren't making RS models at the moment but hadn't heard the S4 might be diesel only. That is such a bad decision as for me the S4 is the best cat Audi make by some margin !

Love this review and watched your review on the new S4 with the diesel engine! If I can find a lower mileage petrol I would prefer that - budget £30K so i am sure I will find one later this year.

    I have a 2001 B5, 6 speed manual that I bought new (I pealed the plastic off the seats before my test drive). I also have a B8, 2014 6 speed manual transmission. The B5 is mint and timeless and the B8 is an awesome machine. I live in a ski town in the Rocky Mountains of the USA and both cars rip through the vast amounts of snow we get. Plus driving either one of these cars through the Rockies is more than enjoyable. I really enjoyed your video and please keep up the good work.

    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. I have fitted a K&N panel filter so it breathes a bit better. My previous car was a Golf R Estate, and my S4, is actually better on fuel !! 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 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!

    I would say the S4 is probably the best car Audi makes. Understated but purposeful, slick at everything and a better /subtle kerb side appeal than the RS cars. It’s like the Golf Gti of the sports saloon/estate world.
    Personally I would choose the S4 over the Rs4. I find the RS cars so hit and miss and just a bit Bling over substance.
    Great video ! That sat nav position though is just naff!

    I have averaged 28.5 MPG over 30K miles v 26.6 from my B8. The B9 is quicker, cheaper UK Road Tax (pre 4/17), much better tech, 19K Service Intervals. I would recommend the Matrix LEDs and B&O 3D Surround Sound as must have options. One of the best features is the subtle styling upgrades compared to an A4 S-Line yet 0-60 in 4.5 secs is achievable. ZF Auto feels quite different in Drive v Sport auto with Manual adding yet another dimension to your favourite B road. The only negative is the standard choice of colours is almost the same as the A4 - missed a trick there Audi.

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!

    Just sold my RS4 B8 Avant I had it for 12 months and spent a fortune, new discs and pads £2400, 4 tyres as you have to change all 4 at the same time on a Quattro £1200, new front shocks as they were leaking which is a problem on this model £2500 new brake lines x2 at £178.00 each. Oil service £480.
    I had fun in her but I cannot justify the expense the next main service was coming up in 3 thousand miles and that is £700 upwards.
    Insurance is a lot and I’m 56 with full no claims £650 and car tax is £540.
    And take into account the boy racers that fly up your rear to try and push you into doing the unthinkable.

    I've got an S3 2018 and absolutely love it!
    I just read a comment about Audis not being a drivers car! Stupid BM driver comment!?
    Anyway I had an M140i for the past 3 weeks and I can say without question my S3 is a far far far better package! From the quality to the materials to the day to day driving the S3 beats the BM on every level, in fact I was so disappointed with the BMs quality, ride, and feel it really is no contest.
    The BM has torque end of! Very useful in a British weather! Lol
    Keep your drivers car, your probably the kinda guy that finds his sister sexy and wears drivers gloves! SheemeM

      The face camera and POV camera over the should are Sony ActionCams, the 1080HD version. You can get them in 4K too. The camera mounted on the Pano roof, from window shot and external shots are from a GoPro Hero Session. The GoPro image is stunning but the mic isn't as good as the Sony. The Sony mic is good enough to use without a lapel mic too.

    Hi Peter
    Nice video. I drive the Lavant - Harting road frequently. I once had a deer run accross my path in the woods near the Uppark estate before you descend the twist to South Harting. Thought you mioht like to know. It's something to be aware of if you are inclined to push through there. Having said that it happened again last week just east of Hereford on the A4103 in a spot where I had no idea there were any around there. Fully grown beast. Two seconds from goodness knows what?!! Wonder if your S4 engine is the same as the one in the Macan S i'm getting next week - ie 354hp.

Have dogs, do some Euro trips, no kids, shall I stick with an S4? I can’t find a remap from Revo but see Racingline /Evolve do a stage 1 map for the B9 with similar but slightly less gains I obtained in the B8 have you looked in to that by chance….great channel by the way 🏎💨👍

    Will look hard at an S4 I think when the V90 goes back in a couple or three months. Strikes me as being the every day car of the moment. Yours is a great colour combo.
    Question about the info tech. When you have sat nav on in the instrument cluster, do you have to have it on the touch screen as well or can you have audio on that instead?
    On an unrelated note, could you drop the pop sound whenever your contact details flash up on screen? Very irritating old boy.
