Now approaching its 6th model year, the 2014 Audi A4 still offers luxury buyers an enticing blend of technology, luxury, and sportiness. But with some many fresh choices in an ever crowded market, has Audi made enough updates to keep this model high on your shopping list?
Hello ..I came back from the future to check this car because I can only afford it now
Me too
me four
Lmaooo same 😭
😂😂😂
Right.
Even this generation of the A4 has been out for a while I still love the way it looks and I would want to buy this
I was so against this car until I drove one as a rental through Silvercar. Since I had one as a rental for a roadtrip weekend, I was more than shocked at the way it drove and the quality of the interior. I recommend everyone who is looking at the entry level luxury sports sedan to test drive one!!
+Ivan C BTW you can rent an A4 for about $40-50 bucks at silvercar for a weekend. Use promo code LOUNGEBUDDY and my referral, IC2 , (www.silvercar.com/users/sign_in?referrer_code=IC2) and that'll get you about $100 off a rental. Just as a tip, try it out!!
+Ivan C Thanks for the Tip!! I just rented an A4 using your referral name " IC2 " and got my rental for this weekend for $48!!! Thanks for the Tip!
Still looks much better than the "competition". That's why I got one of these.
How has it held up? Im looking into a 2015 a4 6MT with 50k miles for like 20k...
@@Pathtoadulthood Good so far. 0 repairs, just needs oil change every 15tkm/10tmi. Mine has 135.000km (84.000mi). It loses oil but not that much.
Do you have a 2014 ?
@@betterbeavailable I have a 2010 A4 Quattro with 51k miles/ 78k kms and it’s consuming 1 litre of oil every 350miles/500 kms, I got the car about 1 month ago and I was thinking to get rid of it but I found a solution that’s not cheap but I’m going to install the Integrated Engineering forged pistons, piston rods and bearings and that will solve the oil consumption issue permanently and I’m actually going to change the timing chain just to save the labour because the engine is going to be open, my timing chain seems to be ok but I want to save on the labour because if I do it later I’m gonna have to pay for another 10 hours of labour to do that
best review ever. Great job!
I test drove BMW, Mercedes and Aud all new. Went with the A4 Sline, here in Canada all wheel drive is a must and Quattro is by far superior, if not the best in the auto industry.
Omg am I the only that died on the "fat baby" part.
Jonathan Washington I literally laughed out loud! Hilarious
Jonathan Washington ok so who thinks that guy is a flaming gaymosexual
John Ward what?
140k miles here. Replaced motor mounts, PCV valve, timing chain, shocks & springs (to lower the car). Car barely burns any Oil, I change it every 3-5k. Also running an APR stage 1 for 33k miles. Great car!
👍good to hear and do you recommend me a used 2014 Audi A4 Premium Plus or a used 2017 Audi A4 Premium Plus ?
do you think i should buy one with 75k miles
I bought one with 97k miles
@@kingshaun2x how’s it going now? I’m debating on a high mileage one
@@kingshaun2xWe need an update!! Hows the car doing?
Car still looks great for something that came out in 2008. I'm sure the new 2016 model will lead the class again in elegant understated design. Front end looks awesome
I just turned 16 and I really wanted a Jeep Wrangler unlimited, but my dad pulled up with a 2013 a4 supercharge and I was very happy this car is so awesome audis last so long, they're comfortable, and just a good car in general you will not be disappointed if you buy this!!
Ethan a4 doesn’t have a supercharger and they’re not comfortable.. nice try tho
@@bigolejuicycaawk he probably meant turbocharged :)
Mario Hernandez they’re comfy
how’s the car now
Watching in 2024 because I want a used one...
Then get it

Don’t do it I got one off the Facebook marketplace let me tell you PROBLEMS AFTER PROBLEMS
I have been watching your reviews for a while now, enjoyed them a lot. They are getting much better! Keep up the good work!
Glad that there's still a manual option.
It's 20/29 mpg on PREMIUM fuel. You should mention that. You cannot use regular gas in it.
In the luxury class, you pretty much assume that premium fuel is required and most buyers are used to it already.
you can use regular gas in it, the engine will adjust the compression rates and you can use it no problem
analanalyst Are you SURE? Audi says regular fuel can cause problems with turbos, and that premium is REQUIRED, not optional.
mountainhobo The owners manual says you can use lower grade gas in emergencies to get you down the road, but you are suppose to fill with premium as soon as possible.
I mean you can but you'll probably **** up your engine.
Cannot wait to get the 2014!!!!! Currently own a 2008 Audi A4 2.0 SLine! Fantastic vehicle
Did you get it and if so how is the reliability ?
Motor Trend tested 0-60 at 5.8s. Car and Driver 0-60 time of 5.6s (Rollout time included the numbers are 6.1s and 5.9s respectively) That's pretty quick.
This car is beautiful. All the new cars look the same. This is classic and classy. Very elegant car.
I would greatly appreciate you making a review with the 2015 Audi A4...
Do you feel as though the BMW is a better car in its class?
2023 just bought a blue with chocolate interior. It had 100k on it and paid 13k. It was garaged its entire life. I absolutely loveeee it
How’s it been holding up?
Well. It got stolen lmao. So not good but it was great. 😫🥲
13k???
decent car but yeah definitely showing its age
Very true.... But I want him to review a a7 s7 or even a rs7
I will definitely remember your "fat baby" joke whenever I see audis from now on lol
Actually it’s got a 7 speed transmission. The one with the 8 speed is the fwd
I gotta tell you, in the last few years, I've driven several models from Audi and BMW. I owned a B7 (2008) A4 quattro s-line and when I would get a B8 for a loaner, I didn't like it as much. Still a nice car - Germans are the best IMO - but just not as nimble and fun as mine. The best modern car I drove from them was the 2013 A6 with the 3.0T because it was more balanced with power and size.
The A3 sedan sounds intriguing, and funny enough, it's basically the same size as my B7. And outfitted with the 2.0T and quattro, pretty much the same car only updated.
Given all that, we were committed to getting a new Audi, but wound up with a 428i..
Do you prefer this car over the 3 series?
Great review. If you've driven the Mk7 GTI, could you briefly compare that to this A4 in terms of comfort and performance?
I think Audi is falling behind aesthetically. The refresh looks great but it really does look like an very upscale Jetta.
Henry Kwan that's it! I was trying to think of what it reminded me of for a while
Bmw 3 series way nicer
Henry Kwan I was disappointed in the lack of features in the interior. Literally just a radio and no aux or usb plugs - also can’t rest your arm and drive like I could in the 3series
Interior needs a lot of work but the exterior I actually do not agree with u. The car has a nice aggressive look and still kind of different to a Jetta. Honestly never though the two looked the same
If this were a Japanese car he would’ve trashed how small the screen was but instead he does damage control love it
I hate being one of those guys but can someone tell me the song at the very beginning of the video? Or is it privately made by 2theRedline ?
I'm looking for a first car, and kind of need help choosing a car. Should I get a 2008 Audi A4 2.0T, a 2005 Infiniti G35 coupe, or a 2007/2006 BMW 3 Series 328i?
I am a 13 year old watching this, if there is anyone who is close to that age please comment, and before u laugh at me I know everything that he is saying. I even know what is a crankshaft, drivetrain, differential etc.
So don't hate.
A really good and detailed review sofyan.
Your 20 now. Remember when you commented this😭
I love my a4
Would you buy one with 100k and if you did what maintenance would you expect it to have done
Hi redline, what do you prefer between Audi A4 and Volkswagen CC?
How do I decline the rear seats to access the trunk when battery is discharged?
I'm confused is it a Prestige or Premium Plus because he said both in the video?
Hello I have watched most of reviews BMW, GTI, AUDI, TOYOTA AND HONDA.
Please tell a car ( model ) 2012-2013 , have a better feeling, feedback from steering wheel ????
I have driven before many cars with hydraulic steering wheel, very good feeling, but now my golf with electric steering is light, very insecure at high speed.
Regards.
The A4 is one of the better cars in the segment, but could use more power and torque.
That is If you want more power and torque. Most people who buy this car do not for a sports car. They would go for an S or RS class.
marc1093280 there is s4 for more power
I’m getting this car in 2 weeks can’t wait do you guys recommend it?
Paris it’s ok
The direction of the scroll button that you complained about is just as counter-intuitive in right-hand drive models. Three months later, I'm still making the same mistakes.
You said premium plus and prestige. Which one is it
why is that people think that scrolling down should be clockwise? Is turning down the radio clockwise too ?
If I had to pick one import company to buy cars from, it would be definitely be Audi (I am an american car enthusiast). They know how to build their damn cars.
***** Nope. And just because I don't agree with your views doesn't mean that I am stupid. Just to clarify. (The reason I'm saying this is because some people around youtube don't understand that)
where was this video filmed? Miami or L.A. maybe ?
All that money and not even a v6? I hate turbo 4 cyl. They are so laggy and the power band feels rubber band like no matter how much power you cram into it.
***** That that's more like it! I bet it's fast as hell too.
Njderig
Test drive one, it's not laggy.
I have no clue where u got that from. They r defininately not laggy. If u get the cvt version it may not be as quick but with the Quattro it’s certainly not laggy. Infact with the previous model there was a v6 version but was stopped as there was not much difference than a 2L Quattro. So sorry buddy but ur statistics r wrong
Very impressed with your reviews! Came across this while watching your other videos for interest. I had a 2013 Audi A4 2.0T Quattro with the 8speed ZF-sourced transmission and you hit the nail on the head with every point in your video. Conservative styling, almost forgettable, but still pretty fun to drive if you want to, and Quattro makes it much more enjoyable in the winter.
+Ryan Santigo Does your engine eat oil like the rest of the 2.0T motors? Audi somehow says it's normal for the motors to chug a quart of oil per 1000miles which is unacceptable.
will u be reviewing a 5th gen prelude soon? (type Sh maybe?)
You kidnapped a fat baby and strapped him to the Audi Steering wheel?!? HORRIBLE 2theRedline! :D
When can u get ur hands on a 2015 honda crv?
I like the noise the engine gives out.
Soo good that the knob is designed for right hand drive. Love it.
Germans drive left hand drive cars and they don't give a shit about the Brits, so no, they didn't do that with them in mind.
next time you a review can you tell us if the metallic accents are real metal or fake/ plastic thanks!
They're real
ngb802 The aluminum trim in the A4 is real.
I don't know if I could say the price difference is just a few thousand at least for this year. I am a huge BMW fan and have owned them in the past but I just picked up a new 2016 audi A4 because the pricing was just right.
I got the premium plus, nav, smart key, blind spot, MMI, etc for $38.5K with a sticker of 44620. The BMW 328 with similar options including nav, blind spot, 3 spoke wheel, etc was 56K MSRP ~45K after discounts and negotiations. Quite a difference.
+Ja M Exactly, the difference is too large to make sense. Great choice with the A4, my father just booked one. The test drive was what sold it for us!
Vs Golf gti mk6 which one is better ?
Thank you soyfan and 2theredline for finally reviewing an Audi but can you please do an a7 s7 or rs7. Maybe even an a8 or s8 ( if you can get your hands a hold of it) lol. Thanks in advance!
I can't speak for everyone else, but this definitely looks dated, it still looks good, but still dated... with its competitors being redesigned, it definitely looks old among them. But this is pretty affordable in its base form.
They are a simple beautiful car and they do not need to make it look like the rest. It was never an ugly car and still is not an ugly car.
There are not many cars that beat the Audi in understated looks. BMW have changed their cars look so many times and they have been hit and miss.
They will release brand new A4 in 2015.
i dont understand what you mean by dated? name any other 2014 sedan in its class that looks better and dont say bmw because they dont.
***** so. damn. true.
***** volvo
so you decided to use a completely different version for the thumbnail and instead did a video on a much more boring version
Hey I actually just noticed that.I'm pretty sure the one in the picture is the S-line package.. not the one he even called an 'S-line package' in the video.Clearly, the one in the video does not have S-line body kit.
for my first car i’m in between this one and a 2011 a4
Sorry for the late message here I know it has been 2 years since you posted this comment about purchasing this car as your first car. Did you purchase this model of 2014 Audi A4 premium plus package and if so how Is your experience and the cost of ownership and most importantly of all The Reliability ???
@@JulioCNY purchased a 2014 about 6 months ago, Premium plus white on brown. So far it’s been alright changed the oil and the only thing that went bad was one of the low beam bulbs in the headlight.
@@avaitioncars9718 okay, Thanks for the info and details. I'm looking at a used 2014 Audi A4 Premium plus or a 2017 Audi A4 Premium Plus as well for me to go to school Full-time at Community College and work Full-time in the afternoon shift. At least I have a car to go back and forth and save me more time and headache rushing going to the bus 🚌 and traffic and being with crown of people on the bus which is a nightmare especially with Covid going around and spreading.
@@JulioCNY nice, just make sure before which ever you go for 14 or 17 that it was maintained. I personally love the B8.5 Exterior but the B9 is gorgeous inside. As you are in school and working purchase what you know you can afford. I don’t plan to keep my A4 for more than 2 year. Hopefully by then I can upgrade to a 15-16 S4 or C7 A7 because I know the 3.0T is a good motor if maintained. As for you go for what you like so far the 2.0 is treating me well, I know of their oil burning issues (idk if the 17+ still has that issue) but I haven’t ran into that issue as of so far
"this steering wheel reminds me of a fat baby" i lol'd
rooboy69 Volvo 3
Getting this in 4 months boysssssssssssssss
jfsoccervids did ya get it
Where is it???
Where is it at
jfsoccervids did you get it lmao?
John Hernandez he probably got a Honda instead
Since when did Quattro come with 8 speed and no paddles?
It’s a ZF 8 speed FYI
This or Acura tlx which is better?
what the music was in the beginning?
I will like to buy this car now 2024 what perplejo saldrá about that❤
Do an Lexus IS review please.
I'm sorry but that's just a Jetta. It's like what ford does with Lincoln.
Been waiting for this one for a while!
Best car reviewer on you tube
The tfsi on an audi a4 always has an oil issue. It drinks too much oil. Either a piston problem or valve seals. But it drinks engine oil.
So if I am looking at a used or brand new Mazda 6 GT or a Ford Fusion Titanium, could you pick up a used 1-3 year old A4 or A3 and pay ABOUT the same (31-33 grand) ?
A new Audi A3 would cost around 31k. Of course that's the lowest trim level.
sorry but that 4 sounds so sad. like honestly its not even that competitive in the segment for 4 cyl output and sound. the cadillac is putting out 295 foot pounds and 272 HP, the 328I is putting out better numbers as well.... come on audi step it up
I actually agree with you on that. The 328i's turbo four (and even the 320i) is much stronger than this long-in-the-tooth Audi model. Otherwise, its still a very solid A4 even if its basically still the same car they released 5 years ago...
"A4 design has remained the same for almost a decade" could also mean that Audi got it right the first time...
Do a review of the 2015 C300 I only see the 400 on your page
My 2013 premium plus has xenon bulbs, not sure if it’s just not stock or you are wrong lol
he’s wrong from 2013 all a4s have that xenon led
What is the song in the intro ! Thanks!
What r the 0-60 numbers?
I don't like A's as much as S's. S's are amazing though. I like the aggressive look of the S's the company produces.
Are you gonna be reviewing the S4?
20/29 out of a 4 banger? Come on
I know, right? My 02' Mitsubishi Galant gets those numbers. So a 2014 model should get better. Though it is AWD so you have to keep that in consideration.
Well, they could easily achieve 25-35 by offering FWD paired on a cvt. However, honestly, who would buy that?
30/41 for the 2014 Mazda3 2.0.
vader11111 Non turbo, FWD, Lighter etc. Still a great car for its class though
vader11111 as well as having about 30% less hp
In sha Allah I'm get this car
Great review as always. I'm curious to know if the A5 is just the coupe version of the A4? and are they the same size?
That's correct, but the A5 is slightly wider, lower, and shorter than the A4, but they ride on the same platform.
I've driven both and in case it matters, the A5 has less leg room in the back.
wow, you was driving in my old neighborhood!!! Small world.
Ive yet to see an interior as nice as lexus 🤷🏾♂️
This has to be one of the first keys I've seen you approve of and not call outdated. But I drive a 1989 car, so I don't know that feel.
We actually like the design and it feels expensive. Only criticism we have is... perhaps the fob is too large :)
a4/s4 needs to chill with the prices 600$ a month for a s4?. s4 is equal to an E class and 5 series, i mean really audi? the interior feels outdated with cheap plastic buttons lol
What's the name of the song in the beginning?
Darude - sandstorm
we got the same music taste :D
Well, I've already found flaws in your general knowledge, and I'm only 1:45 in. You say the Prestige comes with more aggressive this and that, while the Premium models only come with halogen bulbs? False! I have a Premium Plus and it has front and rear LED lights....including 19inch wheels, which you again say is a Prestige feature....my point here is that you can get a Premium Plus with virtually every single feature the Prestige comes with automatically......plain and simple...
I like this design.
Does this car have good fuel efficiency?
Yes
Too bad B8s have transmission problems. In my 2014, 8-speed, once in a while, I feel an abnormal jerking, when I am slowing and the car shifts between 2nd and 1st, as I come to a stop. I've heard a lot about this issue on the Internet, and there are many proposed solutions, including Resetting or Reprogramming the TCM, or flushing the ATF (AUDI claims the fluid will last a "LIFETIME" and doesn't recommend flushing for my model/year). It's still under warranty, but it's hard to replicate so, unfortunately, the dealer will probably brush it off.
Can you please ,please, do a 2013 Audi Q5 2.0T?
The BMW isn't quicker. Car and Driver got a 60 time of 5.6 seconds for both
Nice looking car! Needs a hardtop convertible version.
Is that an Audi key fob or are you just happy to see me
***** you should do a review of the Chevrolet SS sedan.
Great review really helped my buying decision!
Name of song?
I used an A4 like this as one of my company cars for a bit and it seems like everything in the interior is fragile and I cannot believe it doesn't have a USB port for my phone (which I'm pretty sure the last Nissan Versa that I rented had).
And holy crap that "fat baby" comment was hilarious! I personally think it resembles Gengar from Pokemon..
joedogg9836 it uses Bluetooth wireless which is bettter
review the 2015 honda fit when you get a chance.
great review thanks dude
I don't think he mentioned handling once.
no more 1080p videos?
Let it process first. UA-cam takes some time
0:12 music name please.
"The steering wheel reminds me of a fat baby or something" ROFL!
