The B9 Audi S4 brought some significant changes to the S4. The main ones include ditching the popular 3.0L Supercharged V6 and no longer offering a manual transmission or DSG! Check out this interview where we find out what it's like to own the latest generation of Audi S4! Should I replace mine with a newer version?

Quick flip forward on the windshield stalk. It won’t turn on the spray if you do it quickly and you’ll get a single wipe.
Yoo i Love the s4 I just bought a 2018 a few months ago.. its wonderful lol
a year later still feel the same way? i’m looking into getting one
@@eliotmartin2450 Na I sold it lol I got a e63s now lol
@@PookieTUBE if you don’t mind me asking. Why did you sell the s4? Did you have any problems with it?
@@Nbsgio03 i didnt have too many problems with it, but there was this knowing noise that kept returning from the front passenger side. It was tie rod connecting bolts that kept coming loose no matter how many times I took it to audi.
That’s wild that dealers still wanted sticker or premium for S5 sportbacks in May. I was looking at S5 sportbacks around the same time and was offered 14% off any S5 on their lot.
That sounds like a much better deal haha. I think that was when they had first launched
i have a b9 s4 being delivered rn. hella excited
Any problems with it? Looking to get one but seen a lot of bad reviews on the car
How does this compare to your B8.5 power wise? I know it's about 20 horsepower more but does it actually feel that way?
Guys I know times have changed since covid/parts shortage but now things here in the UK are easing up, money here is a bit different to that in the USA but my current car 2011 A3 black edition 2.0 tdi now on 2011 got it in 2015 on 35k mileage for 13000 pounds, so Now im looking at an S4 wouldn't say I am a real petrol head or maybe don't have the ability to appeciate like you guys the speed and torque and looks and refinement of the S4
I've got a desposit down for a S4 2018 with 40k mileage for a whopping 25k that's a lot for me but part of me begrudges the fact I am giving over a lot of money for a 6 year old car which means after just 3/4 years it will be coming up to 10 years old
yes they hold their value here to some extent, but prices have dropped 10 percent in the last 4 months. What do you think maybe just wait it out another month or 2 or get something more normal A4 Sline maybe?
As a previous RS5 Owner and a current S4 owner, this car is perfect in interior and power. But it’s boring after couple months.
thats when you start the Tune + Mod ;)
I love my 14 S4 115k km , The B9 is better in most ways I must admit when I drove it . But I would trust mine more on long term reliability for some reason
Had a 2013 b8.5 s4 loved it...test drove the b9 loved it in every way but consider the newer sq5 for a replacement daily I decided to get a 2018 sq5 instead and other than those fake tailpipes it’s great. Sound, fit and finish, ergonomics, and actually mpg is great I’m getting better mileage now than in my old s4!
G Pete how is that SQ5 as compared to your prev S4 (I'm considering the same). Thanks
Magicrat999 night and day difference to be honest...it’s a tad bit slower since it’s heavier. Looks are also subjective but the interior is leaps and bounds better as well as the ride comfort! Make sure you check out one with the sport package (red calipers, sport diff, air suspension) makes a world of difference!
@@Itsyoung1717 Thanks for the feedback. Sport pack is a definite!
The S4 is a decent version of a sportier version of a car. I think the Audi has this line down correctly, not full on hard sport variants that are out there. To that point... it is boring but that’s what ppl want, not everyone wants a somewhat ostentatious looking car (M3, RS5/4, C63... I will add in the E63S because that looks damn aggressive vs that of a more muted looking M5).
Dane Whaley but the S4 doesn’t compete with any of the cars you mentioned, but I see where you’re coming from. If you don’t know about the S4 you might think that it’s a slightly sexier Jetta.
That would be correct, all of those cars that I mentioned are the ostentatious harder cars in their segment ( they don’t compete with it- the ones I mentioned compete with each other). Clearly, the segment for the s4 is a bmw 340 M package, C43 AMG, etc.. they don’t look super sporty but they are half, to a certain degree, the gap filled for ppl that may not want or can afford the higher sport segments but want more than just the regular versions of the standard cars offered.
Dane Whaley agreed 👍
Looking to get a 18 S4. Couldn't agree more. Coming from a C63. It can be a bit much. Owned it for years now and time to move on. Don't get me wrong, they are fun cars (C63/M3/E63) but they are always trying to kill you and the ride is meh at best. My biggest issue with the c63 is it's always "on" ... I've thought about an E63 but, personally, I'm not a "big" car kinda guy (test drove one and it felt like a boat) and I'm a single guy, I don't need a big old 700hp german tank.
Heck even 400hp with 400tq would be nice in a S4/C-class. People don't realize it but 500HP+ on the street is alot and 99% of the time will barely ever be used. Most of the time you use maybe 200-250hp in daily driving situations.
Plus the gas mileage is horrid, I can think of much better things to invest my money in then waste 10k a year on gas feeding a big old fat AMG that in turn just keeps oil billionaires rich.
That’s why I got Sportback
You have done this video like 30 times omg
Pretty sure this is the first time I've done this with a B9 S4 lol
Audi Obsession 🤣🤣🤣
Nice video. In the market for new car and CANNOT decide between the S4 & C43!
C43, especially if it’s the 2019 facelift
I’m in the exactly same boat!! Can decide yet but I haven’t even started test driving any of them.
Currently have a 16 B8 .5 A4..considering this while keeping my A4. Wonder why he chose those ugly wheels. I feel once your paying almost 60k you should option for the premium wheels..especially on a sport variant.
Maybe because wheels/tires are the most basic and easiest thing to replace, even though that means spending MORE money.
Cool vid but feels like you've done this vid several times already. Could be thjnking about the other Audi's but just seems the same🤷🏾♂️
I drive over 30k miles a year. In the mountains with snow so awd is a must. I need it to last to 200k miles. Would a s4 be a option. Or m3 or c63. Thoughts
Wouldn’t trust any of those cars when driving 30k+ a year.
Hesko 1 m3 and c63 have rwd. No option for you then.
S4,s5 or rs4 and rs5 are perfect. Rs5 also available as a sportback with 4 doors. Same with s5
Is the turbo torquier than the supercharged V6
Yes
lmao that Michigan road
Michigan roads may be the worst in the country. Highest insurance rates as well
Call me crazy, but I cannot stand the B9 S4. The B8.5 is by far better looking and driving. I wouldn’t get a B9 dude.
Exterior is nicer on the B8.5 but interior on B9 is way nicer! No comparison.
@@MrJrolon1975 I own a B8.5 A4 and the B9 interiors are so much nicer. Better materials, much more modern (the B8.5 interior is essentially unchanged from the B8 which is 10 years old now). Also the B9 platform is much more refined. The electromechanical steering in the B8.5 is god awful and the chassis dynamics are pretty weak. The steering response and feel in the B9s is much better. The B8.5 looks good and I love the minimalist design but at the same time it does look quite old compared to Audi's latest designs. Shame they ditched the manual gearbox though.
@@altayab You can't really compare the A4 and the S4. They're literally like two different vehicles, even down to the quality of interior materials. I'm not a fan of the instrument panel in the B9, and I HATE that Audi cheaped out and just emboss "S" on the seats instead of the full model designation like they used to. The sport seats are uglier in the B9, too. I do like the virtual cockpit in the B9, but that's arguably the only thing better than the B8.5. We used to have a B8.5 S4 and loved it. I was disappointed at the interior changes in the B9 S4 and the loss of a manual transmission option. IMO, the B8.5 S4 is the nicer looking car inside and out.
@@tayl0rd553 What are you on about? The B8.5 A4 and S4 interiors are practically identical except for the seats in the S4 and the cars themselves are the same except for some mechanical differences (engine, suspension, drivetrain). The interior materials are the same. Same plastic dash, same plastic switches, same plastic door panels. They're not "two different vehicles". They are 90% the same.
And what's more, the B8.5 interior is nearly the same as the B8 interior which came out in 2009. Get real dude. It's been 10 years and it shows.
@@altayab Hmm... Different seats, different engine, different suspension, different drivetrain, different steering wheel, different wheels, different front and rear fascias, different interior trim panel materials, different mirrors. Yeah, you're right. The A4 and S4 are the same. What was I thinking?
Idk man this or the 240i im stuck
Performance and looks this my opinion
Holy shit, are you driving in Iraq? Or maybe Detroit? Watching you bounce around
Michigan roads suck. Potholes the size of mini cooper's.
I like how dude kept referring to his s4 as a sleeper. LMAO, nothing sleeper about the car. Its an s4, we all know exactly what it is and how much power it puts down.
Lol, it is a sleeper....the average person in America can't tell the difference between an A4, let alone an S4, and a VW Passat
You might, but the average American does not.
Great review from 2 foreigners. I mean that in the most respectable way. Why? Because it's not a "Plain White T" type Caucasians, trying to describe the excitement/enthusiasm of this platform. Thanks Guys!!! (EddieX and Owner)
SHS
first?
Dulukong yup
