Should You Buy an AUDI A4 AVANT? (Test Drive & Review B8 2.0TDi S Line)

Is the gearbox the same as vw dsg

Io guido aerox x - max ma in caSa ora tutti honda solo audi s3 o rosa e rs4 2014 sono i miei sogni magari se Dio vuole un giorno diventa realtà solo costano troppo 😅

I'm getting rid of my X5 35D for one of these. I'm in the US, so im getting the 2.0 petrol. I owned a Tiguan for a few years with the same powertrain, and I had no issues with it, except the oil burning.

Matt, please elaborate on 2.2 children 😂

Hiya mate I’ve just bought this exact car but the Quattro but it’s got 18inch alloys on . I’ve found some 20ich same as yours in this vid but I’m worried there gonna rub ? Was gonna go 19 . Any problems with your 20’s at all ??

less boring as quattro. would never buy a fwd audi

Guy is delicious

Talking shit from the start

my parents have one of these, and it’s the highest spec, and it’s a gorgeous car, and it’s stage 1 remapped, so it’s got that bit more power, so it’s a really good car.

You are not wrong Mat, I saw a black Audi RS4 with its driver sat by the rear wheel surrounded by a lot of gun waving Guardia on the roundabout at the entrance to Malaga airport the other day

I buy Audi. You drive me. You gorgeous. Fix it for me. Pay you're gorgeous.

Yes it's fabulous. But babe, should I buy a used one?

Hi Matt,
Regards the cvt transmission mine sometimes is a little unresponsive from set off.
If I press the pedal but then lift off for traffic then set off it hesitates.

Does this sound like an issue or just trait of the cvt box?

Cheers love the channel

High Peak Autos : the A4 Avants became semi-reliable over the 20 year period of Audi constantly staying at making it the same....but whereas the A6 Avants, they were much much less sold over the years hence they are sill very very unreliable from every aspect, but they were properly roomy whereas the A4 Avant with its 460-480 litres of boot space was just to tiny for a any member family. Countless other Caravan versions of cars were much more practical and roomy that this model.

No lies there.

In my circles all Estate owners are ramblers.

I checked and confirmed 😅

Hi Matt, i have found a 2013 A4 Teckik (or somthing spelt simular!) SE 2 litre diesel at a main dealer full service history in black with 34000 miles on the car is imaculate and the y want £13900 for it is that about right? I currently drive a 2019 VW Arteon 1.5 petrol but costs £140 to fill the tank so looking for a cheaper reliable car to fit 2 spaniels in roughly do 40 miles a day for work

Quite boring? It's the exact same car as the A4 sedan, except it's longer. At least when it comes to the handbrake Audi has done away with the old fashioned one, BMW still need to catch up ;-)

Is this an s-line with the black edition wheels?
Just looking at the chrome around the windows etc.

Had Vw, Mercedes and a Volvo. The Audi build quality is second to none

I just bought one of these today, a 2014 in the same colour, 2.0 tdi quattro s line automatic with 175 bhp, no leather and only the basic concert radio but it is to be our second car paired with a Touareg R line 4,2 V8 tdi which has everything, the Audi holds it´s own against the Touareg in the way it drives and the quality cabin feel but obviously no match in power. However, as a family car for us with two kids and two dogs it will work just fine, living in Sweden on a farm the Quattro will be a useful thing in wintertime. Also, I work with boats a lot and this car can tow 2.1 ton and again, the quattro will come in useful on the boat ramps for smaller boats and trailer loads but again I have a Touareg which will pull 3.5 ton if need be. I feel it was a more sensible choice after test driving a C350 AMG touring yesterday which was more fun but......

NICE MOVIE!!!!

Matt are you available for car advice? I’ve found an A4 avant and would love your view/advice.
I’m happy to sort a fee as I value you opinion.

Even though the comment is a bit late, you should know the door lock issues are caused by the dirt (carbon dust) gathered in the small electric motors that lock and unlock the mechanism inside. Just a bit of cleaning (but quite a lot of disassembly and assembly required) and is good as new. About 2 hours / door.
BTW: Keyless entry and keyless go is nice, I've got that stock on my car and is the next best thing after the sliced bread.
And the quattro is priceless! Stability during cornering is much better, handling on snow and ice is through the roof but the downside is the fuel economy, I'd say about 0.5 to 1 extra liter of diesel/100km.

Sorry if this question has been asked I know you said the gear box is ok but is it reliable?

CX estates were always cool af

Expensive Skoda Octavia estate?

Matt can you do an old shape Tiguan pls bud

Seems excited about it.

How an A4 estate is “better in every way” than a Q5?

I have this car, in white, black edition, auto, 2013. I love it!

This thing still looks modern 8 years later! A Subaru or Volvo wagon both look old and out of date in 2022 but this somehow still looks like it came out a year or two ago. Definitely looks like it's at least a 2018 model year but it's from 2014. Pretty impressive for Audi

Why wont you make a 3 series review?!

Has 2 A4's with 2.0 petrol engines . Nothing but trouble by 50k miles ! Both with full Audi history .

Had one for 18 months. 2.0tdi s line 140. Nothing I’d want to replace it with. It just does everything perfectly. Definitely need tints in estates lol

Annual trip down to Cornwall - what a thrilling life you lead

Boring cars? Utter pish

Oh please, Volvo is a Chinese car and the C300 are very unreliable. Just about every punk in my area drives a BMW. I have an A4 B8.5 S-line quattro and the petrol 228 HP engine is plenty quick, doesn't burn ANY oil and the leather front seats are supremely comfortable. all power seat/windows options. Very refined, Add 10 speaker premium audio and non gimmicky styling... In what world is that boring?

you talk like Karl Pilkington :)

Hello , does automatic transmission have dual mass flywheel in this model ?

Tax on my ‘16 plate A4 is £30 and I can easily get 50 plus mpg. The most annoying aspect I find is the MMI SYSTEM ,it’s a nightmare!

Unfortunately a4 in avant looks bad, A6 avant looks great, but for a4 sedan is only good option

I first seem the Push key ignition in VWs Passat B6 when my Passat B5.5 was being serviced at the time.

nice looking car,was considering one in that spec

I actually think that Audi avants look better then their saloon counterparts.

Thanks for update looking for a black edition in avant

Audi rules.

Hey Matt, Love your videos! You said, that the TFSI petrol engines would bei problematic regarding the oil burning . That is just half of the truth due to the fact, that after the facelift (starting in 2012, the model you drove) there were no longer these sort of problems. The well-known 1.8 TFSI engine with either 120 or 160 HP (pre-facelift) used to tend having too high oil consumption, but the engine with 170hp was and is still much more reliable. So from this side I can definitely recommend this engine. Also the 2.0 TDIs with 163 HP have - at 400nm - much better torque than the 150 or 177hp versions. And they are even more economical.
Greetings from Germany!

Loved my b6 audi a4 1.8t but the number of coil packs I had to replace... still miss that car thought, lovely place to be
