- After 3 years of owning my 2017 Audi A4 B9 Quattro Premium Plus, I listed some of the pros and cons of the car. I wrapped up some of my most favorite things and some of the minor not so great things about the car. The dealer powder coated the wheels. I wrapped all the door trims, also wrapped and partially plasti dipped the grill.

I just bought a used 2017 A4 Premium Plus and I couldn’t be happier!!!!!
Joey Shortino niceee 👍🏼👍🏼
Congrats! Me too! Yesterday and I love it!
@@crystal96f Just got a 2017 A4 Prestige a week ago and it's stuck at audi for about 1-3 months :( Needs a mechatronic replacement
e egan really?! Oh no! Hopefully you can get it back sooner!!
Same I got one for my birthday
These cars are super reliable! I own a 2019 Audi A4 with 69,000 Miles. I drive a lot and make long distance trips across states. I never had any issues. Full tank gives me near 600 miles until empty. I highly recommend anyone to get this car for a starter luxury.
Reliability isn’t really a concern until after 100k miles usually. Let me know how it performs at 150k miles and what’s needed fixing
@@onlinealias622 I bought the car when it had 10 miles and now at 77K and it is still good🙂. Once i am 100k i’ll update, must remind me lol.
@@mjv1912 update?
@@mjv1912 please write update, bro) Buying used one and curious.
@@mjv1912update?
I’m looking at this exact year! This is just the review I was looking for. Thanks!
Nic glad it helped!
Same here!.
You can get the software updated at the dealer so the virtual cockpit preference will stay as is from the previous time you drive it.
Just the video I was looking for 🔥
Dizzy Roth let me know if I can answer anything
The B9 with the B&O stereo system actually has 12 speakers upfront... one is apart of the 3D sound system and is located under the cupholders in front of the drive select :)
will lahners oohhhh. Didn’t know that 😱😱
Just bought a 2017 A4 Premium Plus and couldn't be happier
MrGWAMPO congrats! I really miss the stereo system
@@TanDiego Mine unfortunately doesn't have the B&O speakers :(
MrGWAMPO as long as you are happy with the car, that’s all that matters 🙂
@@TanDiego i have the back emblems and front grille all done! finishing up the fog-light area chrome pieces today! Then, onto the wheels..
MrGWAMPO ohh snap. Did you dip them? What are you doing with the wheels?
Great pros and cons. Thanks.
Very nice car so clean! I would love this hopefully one day ☝🏽
Just got my first Audi ever which is the 2017 A4 Premium Plus Quattro S-Line. I love my 2019 XC40 T5 R-Design, but I have to let it go. But man this car made it easier to transition, and I'm glad I bought it. I can't wait to mod it hehe.
ClixT congrats! It’s a great car!
Tan Diego thanks! I'll probably do some canyon runs once I get an air intake to go with it hehe.
ClixT it actually handles really well
Tan Diego good to hear! I'll definitely enjoy this car then. I test drove a 2017 S4 and that was really fun. Too bad the car was in a shady accident or I would've bought that instead.
ClixT I think if you move up from the regular version you gotta do the RS
I'm too lazy to go through all these comments but I hope someone told you the rear seat armrest rattle is warrantied.. No joke.. ymmv with certain dealers though. My dealer told me that any creaks or rattles just tell them and the tech will correct it for me
Tim Brown thank you! Good to know!
Car is fucking sick! Looking to bounce back and cop one myself.
Solid review! Too funny on the rear arm rest rattle, Another video said that too and they added foam pads between the storage door and arm rest.
Super clean looking all blacked out 🔥
designer|NL aw thank you!! I always love the blacked out look
@@TanDiego same car same problem here. I just put some electrical tape around the hook and problem solved!!!
raihanrahman03 luxury as its finest
I'm curious to know if there's a difference in suspension between comfort, auto and dynamic in the non S-line models.
Sandeep Gunda hmmm 🤔
You can fix the rattle from armrest bolt with Insulation Adhesive Tape: PVC SCAPA 2702
(0.13*19mm/25m, black). Simply cover the bolt with that tape.
I have also the B&O and i am not that impressed by the quality. Mostly because the rattlings / vibrations from the speakers grills.. Don't you have this problem? One song to test with the rattlings: Gusgus - Over, the beat from the beginning of the song creates high rattlings..
paralelmind thank you!
@@TanDiego cheers!
I've had my 2017 B9 Premium Plus since May 2016, and I've never had a problem with it, except for those two minor recalls you mentioned. And yes, the gas mileage is exceptional for such a well-performing sports sedan. The one thing I don't like about the car is the expensive subscription cost for Audi Connect.
cameraz99 does the subscription include google earth? How much is it btw?
@@TanDiego -- Yes, it includes Google Earth. It is $199.00 every six months. But Google Earth on older B9s is being phased out by the end of the year and there's no word on a replacement yet, if ever. 😧
cameraz99 can they update the whole infotainment system ?
cameraz99 mine doesn’t work. Can’t make it work
It starts to load and then fails and I’m really frustrated with this
The good thing is I can always use google maps from my phone so it’s ok
Yeah Audi has a reputation for brake noise, which is normal in the cold
I'm coming to the end of my lease of the 2017 Audi A4 Quattro I had got it with the premium plus package. I love this car so much I may just keep it. Having to reset dash to map mode was my only complaint.
Nice! It’s a good car!
Any reliability issues? Was it in the shop frequently?
@@catelinsimone nope I hated giving it up but just couldn't resist trading it in for the 2021. Had the touch screen display and the horsepower was upped by 15. All had lane departure, the 360° parking view on camera and adaptive cruise control.
It's got 19 speakers total, which includes the rear shelf subwoofer.
Nice version :) Like black beast ;)
How reliable would you say the car has been so far. Also how much have you spent over 3 years on fixea and mAintence.
Freddy Medina I would say it’s very reliable. At least for me. I only had 2 recalls but they were so minor. It was a speaker trim and some seatbelt thing.
Which version of the Audi A4 2017 has custom interior lighting. I noticed yours is only white but I have also seen some other custom ones?
Duane Samoei that would be the “prestige” yea the premium plus only comes in white and can only adjust the brightness.
Which suspension you have? And how comfortable it is when going over bumps or potholes?
Do you have acoustic panels on the side mirrors?
I had the sport suspension that came with sport package, it was fine to me but I'm used to sports car feel. I don't know about the acoustic panels on the mirrors... what is that supposed to do?
@@TanDiego Thanks for the answer. Acoustic glass on windows (not panels, my bad :)) are thicker than standard glass and they are intended to isolate external noise from the cabin.
@@namsoiled I don't think it does, I can't find anything in the brochure about it but somehow the cabin is pretty quiet.
I’m looking to buy either the 2018 A4 2T Quattro, 2018 Lexus IS F sport or Honda Accord 2018 2T I was wondering if anybody wonder if those vehicles know about the maintenance fee, Hurd the A4 have heavy maintenance cost
german cars will always have higher cost maintenance than honda and toyota
Yes everything you said is so true to me! But one thing annoys me the most on my A4 B9 is that the car has slightly lower ground clearance compared to its competitors. Mine has sport suspension and I honestly think it is too low for a sedan. I have to be extremely careful when I park so that the front bumper doesn't hit and scrape the wheel stops (they're almost the same height). I've got two deep cuts on my front lower bumper already on these wheel stops : (
Chris Yicheng Shi oh really? I was thinking it’s a bit high, talking about the height between the wheels and the fenders, I wish the gaps were a bit smaller, comparing to the 3 series and the c class. I do have the sports suspension too. I have only hit the guards on the bottom.
Tan Diego yup I was actually talking about the guard on the bottom. 😂 it’s good for handling tho
@@chrisyicheng yea, is your car stock? any mods?
Tan Diego Bought it three months ago. Haven’t got any mods yet lol
Chris Yicheng Shi enjoy it!
I’m thinking about getting this exact car coming from. A 2020 Honda Accord sport 2.0
Where you get rims
I’m thinking about buying a 2018 a4 premium plus for my mom. It has 30k mikes and it sounds really good. Any tips on what to look for?
Look at the car fax and test drive it
@ryan Hey if you don't mind can you tell me the price of the car you were looking at?.. Because I'm also looking something similar to that and it would be helpful to derive into a conclusion.
awesome review.
Thank you
Nice video, dope car and tires, I have 2021 audi a4 premium plus, what type of wheels/tires you have?
Thank you, they are the stock Audi 19 inch 10 spokes wheels with 245/35ZR19 tires.
Very balanced I would say! And Nice ride man!
thanks buddy! I'm about to pull off all the plasti dip and trim wrap 🤪
Tan Diego my A4 B6 2001 is still kicking ass!
@@reginaldmcnab3265 nice! how many miles you got on it?
Tan Diego 187 thousand miles on the clock. The clutch was change at 166 thousand miles, never touched the engine just timing belt,
@@reginaldmcnab3265 danggg and who said audis are not reliable??
thank you!
I currently have a jeep grand Cherokee . And my dream car is a A4. I think imma just buy the a4 😊
I think I have the same wheels on my car. Did you get yours painted or did they happen to come like that because they look 🔥😭
The dealer powder coated them
Crazy I’m trying to decide between getting a used 2019 A3 premium plays or a used 2017 Audi A4 Premium Plus
Matthew Brand drive both. Do you need the extra space from the A4 or the agility from the A3, also the 2021 A3 is pretty bad ass looking.
Tan Diego I agree completely, just out of my price range brand new, specked out lmao
Matthew Brand hey if you can afford a car at this time, you’re in a good spot though 👍🏼
I’m looking into a 2018 A4, I drive for 7 hours a day sometimes for work and I’m wondering is this car pretty reliable?
I would say it’s reliable, at least for me
@@TanDiego do you use regular fuel or premium? Is it fairly economical?
@@faitha1075 I used premium
quick question, in your car is the interior lights stock ????
Yes just one color ambient light
Oright folks, here i am commenting in 2021, i been looking at 2017 A4, and idk it seems like a great car, and im just a college kid, i earn like what 1500 a month, its a great car and all, but aint sure if i should get the car. I dont mind bout the price, only thing what bothers me is, the maintenance costs and all. So any suggestion helps bout maintenance fee and all.
Thank you guys
if you cant afford the maintenance costs, put it off until you can to get the car. These germans are expensive to fix. my car was under warranty and i bought the plan to cover the maintenance costs.
Which country do you belong to? How much did you buy it for? And yeah what is the milage crossover?
@Saurish Takle USA and it was about $46k new
Very niceee.
im at the end of my 2018 a4 premium lease and i dont know whether to buy the car or get a new a4 lease...the reason i might want to get a new lease is because the stock sound system on the premium trim is very meh and it doesnt have the safety features...and the ambient lighting is only white you cant change it to another color
If it doesn’t bring you joy, you should go for something else. Might as well enjoy something if you’re paying for it. I think this interior style is going to stay for a couple more years
How's leasing a audi coming along for you? thinking of leasing or financing one.
Seems like a nice boy...
2017 a4 junk 48303 miles struts, rear motor mounts, water pump, starter, 740.00 dollars to replace the damn battery, traded it for a Mazda 3
yooo what size are your rims? u think 20's can go on no problem?
Theyre 19s but yea definitely can fit 20s
Hp?
Did your brakes come with your service plan?
Not sure actually I don’t have it anymore but brakes should last past 30k miles
What kind of wheels are those? Also, what size?
they are Audi 19 inch 10 v-spoke wheels
What rims and tires you got on that?
They are Audi OEM 19 inch 10 v-spoke wheels with 245/35ZR19 tires
I came for the car but stay for ur skin so beautiful
Oh shit thank you made my day
Those are 19 inches rims?May i get a specific configuration of those?Thanks in advance.
They’re Audi stock 19 inch 10 spoke wheels
Did you black out the chrome with vinyl or dip?
JayDown both, vinyl around the rim of the grille and windows and plasti dip inside the grille
Tan Diego reason why dip inside the grille? Hard to do?
JayDown yea it was too hard to wrap
Hey what would u suggest, a 2017 s3 or 2017 A4?
Sacha Mancuso do you care for the backseat passenger leg room?
Get the S3...big difference when it comes to the feeling.
Tan Diego I do not
Sacha Mancuso get the S3!
Tan Diego thanks man
Do you put Premium gas in your A4?
chippercatt always 😃
I used to sell Audi's for a living. They require premium fuel.
How has the car been after 3 more years? I just bought the 2023 and want to keep it forever
I only had it for 3 years sorry.
@@TanDiegoahhh so you sold it after this video?😢 whyyy
@@iam_myster_e I got a sports car after ☺️
Do you still own it? Any issues now? Turbo issues? Carbon build up?
I don't have it anymore but I didn't have any major problems during the time that I had it.
Standard extintion
Any problems with the transmission??
I only had this car to 36k miles but in my A7 I drove it up to 41k miles with no problems
Where did you get the rims?
Latasha Incillo they are stock Audi rims and I had the dealer powder coated them black
Tan Diego how much did the coat cost?
Stix Sharp the dealer did it for free
How much is maintenance on regular?
I had the car up to 36k miles and everything was covered with the maintenance plan I bought in the beginning
@@TanDiego how much you paid for that maintenance plan and for how many years?
@@jeevakavya8958 I don’t remember exactly but it wasn’t much and you can negotiate it down. It was for up to 36k miles
@@TanDiego I'm planning to get a pre owned one which is already driven like 38k miles. It doesn't comes with any warranty or maintenance plans. In this case how much it would cost for the regular service for a 2017 audi a4 sports trim?
@@jeevakavya8958 you would have to ask the service department at the dealership. What I paid for was prepaid and it was part of the deal back in 2017, I’m sure prices have changed since
I’ve had mine for 18 months and I’m done with it. The suspension is too firm and takes the fun out of driving it for me.
What wheels do you have on your car?
It’s the Audi 19 inch oem wheels
@@TanDiego thanks
Great review, are you still enjoying the car?
Thank you. I don’t have the car anymore, I have an A7 now ☺️ ua-cam.com/video/hP6Kq0HTjUc/v-deo.html

What is b4 stands for?
From research, B is based on the Volkswagen group B platform for mid size car, this B9 stands for cars from 2016 to current
@@TanDiego thank you kindly
What type of wheels are these?
They are stock Audi 19 inch 10 spoke wheels
@@TanDiego ok cool. Thank you so much for responding. Im def getting these
@@Justice_87 nice. The dealer powder coated them black for me
@@TanDiego ok cool. So what i would like to do is keep in touch with you and get some advise from you on putting my car together like yours. If thats cool
@@Justice_87 sure. I didn’t do much though except for wrapping the window trims and black out everything chrome on the car
car is great..but a review after 35000 miles does not mean that much
I love coka Not Cola for those who’s looking to get a used one.
it has 19 speakers in total + the subwoofer
Yes you are right!
Lolllll that's too funny, I also cannot *stand* the fact that I have to change the virtual cockpit to the map *every single time I start the car*. Talk about first world problems, but I mean come on....
I gotta say I disagree with you on the B&O system though! To me it actually sounds kinda sorta..... not good for anything other than dad rock T.T
Are you listening to the upgraded system or the base? Maybe it’s my ears 🫠
@@TanDiego Upgraded system! To be fair I'm used to some high end sound systems, but yeah.... just feels like they tuned it towards old men and called it a day XD I find anything bass heavy to be pretty lacking.... but it does the job
@@spacemanspiff33 old men 🫢🫠 I’m old 🥲
I've got exactly the same car but it's not quattro
Black J nice, how do you like it?
@@TanDiego I love it... The only thing I don't like a bout it is what you mentioned about it taking long to pick up even when you're pressing the gas. I thought my car is faulty but it looks like it's like this and i really hate it.
Black J was your a premium plus? Some features I feel like they cheap out on
the reason why it takes soo long after you floor it its something with the 48volt things , you can fix it but i cant remember if it was within the car settings or with the obd eleven , I cant provide you with the link cuz ive seen it like a year before by a youtuber but if you search it you will probably find it
It’s nice but it would be better if it went from blacked out to murdered by adding black vynals to the headlights and tail lights 🖤
Sheeeeettttt
His voice tho hahah🤣🤣🤣🚪🚶🏿♂️
“Audi is known for technology “
Me - lack there of
For 2017, the infotainment system feels like its from 2010 and its not even touch screen. 2020 models finally bring touchscreen but the infotainment looks like 2015. (I have an A4 too and it was my only gripe)
The A4 is actually much faster than the A3
Nice car. What is wrong with your voice??? :))
Alex All it’s god given, blessed from above.
Nice car wrong tires....
Hmm 🤔
Basically, ; TLDR: He loves it coz dealers "took care of it for him". 😒,,,,not what I was looking for but yeah. Am out
Git rid of it before it gets to 60,000 miles. It will swallow up your wallet whole.
What happened??
@@TanDiego I've had two A4s, a 2005 and 2014. Both had oil consumption issue. 2014 was especially bad. Starting at about 60,000 miles it kept burning oil, and became progressively worse. I had to put in a qrt of oil every 700 - 800 miles. I took it to several shops to get it fixed, no luck. Took it to the dealership, they said it was Normal. Really, normal to add a qrt of oil every 700 miles?
Finally, at about 80,000 miles the car died.
I'm not the only one with similar story.
.
Flashy design and fancy gadgets, doesn't mean quality. It can, and probably will become a money pit soon.
@@Tall-Cool-Drink was yours a diesel by any chance?
@@TanDiego
Gas.
@@Tall-Cool-Drink2024 would be a B8. B9s’ are more reliable
