My 2019 A4 moves silently at ANY speed; no wind noise is detectable, only rough roads create noise in the cabin. Been driving and wrenching for over for over 65 years and this A4 drives and handles like a dream. With the exception of the non torque-converter dual-clutch trans this is an amazing drive and it recently averaged 36mph up thru California into Oregon and back.
@@fabulouspoet Interestingly enough, neither my 2018 nor my 2021 A5/SB have this problem, unless in Sport mode. In regular D mode it is as good as any other. Audi does use the 7DCT in A6 and A7 too (including the 3.0T models).
@@fabulouspoet reset the transmission and drive in auto. Turn the car on, with engine off. Step on the gas pedal until you hit the overdrive click, wait at least 30 seconds, step off, and turn off the car and wait a few minutes. The car learns how you drive, but it’s not great so it will pick up bad shifting habits.
4 is a piece of crap. Cat wait to get rid of it. It is actually very noisy after 60 miles per h. A pilar is very noisy. It is only silent on start idle and on start speed. After some speed you cant listen to music. Wich is also awful . This car is naylon thin also. Doors hood everything
Regarding the side assist's alert function for lane crossing, is the car utilizing the steering angle in conjunction with the presence of a nearby vehicle as a trigger for the warning? I have observed on my Prestige model that the warning occasionally activates when a vehicle is in my blind spot and I am navigating a moderate curve on a freeway. The car automagically adjusts its position within the lane, and the warning indicator on the mirror housing flashes, suggesting a potential collision with the neighboring vehicle. Notably, the warning is triggered as the wheel turns without crossing the lane markings. Great videos!
I’ve had the A4 45 Quattro for nine months now, and my one problem with it is the feedback from steering. I’ve gone from dry and sunny to hard packed snow, but it’s either me running out of confidence, or not getting the feel of what happens when it breaks loose. It’s probably more of the technology in the drive software that holds me back from finding out what this car can actually do. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a fantastic piece of engineering, but I’m old school, and like to feel my ass shifting in the seat when it’s on the limit, if you know what I mean.
You can do some aftermarket things to improve the steering feel. But I'm very much the same old school preference as you. Unfortunately most new cars, if it's a good chassis; I get the same feedback though the chassis and can feel what is going on. And at least IME, with quattro as long as your on the power; it can do some pretty magical things with cornering. The problem comes when you lift off and there is no more power to redistribute to get you around the corner.
I have a 2017 S-Line A4 premium. And frankly that is the best car I ever had in 30 years.
any issues you've experienced with it so far? i've gotten one but barely find any forums or tutorials working on that specific model.
@@TacosGoneWild No problem so far. Changed spark plugs and brake pads last summer. Car has 95,000KM.
Switched from Honda accord to my Audi a4 honestly I’m in love the most comfortable ride ever 💙 I’d never want to go back to Japanese
As an engineer (though different field entirely) I can greatly appreciate these insights. Thanks for pointing them out!
Excellent video. I noticed only a handful of these, but you picked some I wasn't even close to observing.

It tickled my fancy when you mentioned the transmission. I knew I wasn’t crZy 😢😢 it’s so wonky at low speeds!

A 2019 B9 A4 has a ZF Automatic, not a Dual clutch.
I dont like how Audi removed the lines on the doors instead of having the lines move across the doors from rear to front
Great video !! You should do a video explaining the Audi line up 🙏 your doing great !
*Spirited fashion*...that's the only way I drive 😂
wish your microphone would reduce wind noise lol but ty very informative
Where did you learn all this? I want to learn more.
"reduce turbo lag for a quicker TICKET...". Yes, yes it does.

What is the song/music in the video?

Oooooh same on my Jetta sel premium, in sport mode I don’t need to turn off the auto start/stop.
Typical Minnesota, windy and cold, all the time.
15:10 Hopefully not LOL
I think they over did it in design it looks ugly My 2018 s line looks way better, well I guess post 2020 is the ugly era for cars lol
Least they didn't go hyper crazy like Lexus and whatever they are trying to design
Headline has nothing to do what is shown in video poor
😊
