I just bought a 2012 A4 2T Quattro and so far I’m really happy with it! I really wanted AWD for the winter months here in Mass.
AWD system is great though I would still recommend an all weather tire which is rated for snow or a traditional snow tire in the winter months.
@@CruiseControl1 Yes I definitely intend to do that… they will need new tires by winter anyway
Same here..Got mine 2 weeks ago and love it!
Looking at buying one this weekend!!!
Glad your experience is going better than mine.
Thx a lot Eric, you convinced me to buy an Audi a4, 2012
I'm in the process of purchasing a 2012 A4, glad to see that it holds up its age 🙌🙏
Congratulations on your new to you A4
Me too, hoping you dont buy the one im staking out right now😂
Bro roller coaster road is my favorite, you’re in springs too, I have had an a4 sline b7 but just swapped for a stage 2 b5 s4 twin turbo, I’m looking at the 2012 a4 now and I love it
Dealer is delivering a 2013 A4 quattro tomorrow. I can't wait to try it out. Has 34,000 km on the odometer. One owner and has the B&O sound system in it.
Wow, that is basically still brand new. Let me know if you get it. Thank you for sharing and for watching my channel.
@@CruiseControl1 Well this is like a brand new car internally and externally. All working well. the B&O is superb, and it even has a sunroof (which was a surprise to me). Very nice car., with 2 3 month warranty and no outstanding recalls on the vehicle.
Sounds like it's in great shape, if you decide to get it I'm sure you will love it.
@@CruiseControl1 The deal is done.
Congrats!!!!
Would you recommend a 2012 audi a4 premium plus with 63k miles on it? It seems to have only the normal maintenance done to it and looks to be in good shape.
If this is at a dealership, I would get an extended warranty. I would have it inspected by a mechanic. I would check the oil levels on it ever 1,000 miles and just know it is not the most reliable.
Just bought one. A week ago. Now doing more research on it. So far wife likes it. Didn’t know about them using a little oil though until today. Hopefully not much.
Yeah just keep an eye on it, I would check every 1,500 miles.
Nice review! I would for sure go up in more power TBH, but nice looking ride!
Yeah more power is always fun, the car though performed really well actually. Thank you for your comment and for watching my channel.
I’m thinking to buy one, I’m a 20 year old med student, I have prior experience with cars because I work on them with my dad, do you think that it will be a good first car?
Look for one that has all its service records, you want one that has been properly maintained.
@@CruiseControl1 should I consider another option? Which one should I get in your opinion?
@@cesarandres1288 In this segment around the same year I also like the Lexus IS350, with either I just recommend buying one with a proper maintenance record.
Just dropped $3800 as a deposit for a new engine on one of these. In about 3 weeks I’ll be throwing out another $3800. This car really gets a death grip on you cuz I love it so much but I hate spending so much on it.
Well said, I completely agree
Looking at getting a 2012 A4 quattro has 120,000km! Thanks for the video
Thank you for watching my channel and for the comment. Please like and subscribe for more content. Also have the A4 you're looking at checked by a mechanic only issue to look out for is excessive oil consumption. Congrats on getting your A4.
Looking to buy one of these in a manual but the oil consumption issues of the 1.8T and 2.0T do scare me...
What do you think, should I look for a B8 or should I get a B6 or B7?
Have the car you are looking at inspected by a mechanic to see if it’s good shape, buy low miles with service records of on time or early oil changes.
@@CruiseControl1 Thanks for the advice 👍
Check for oil consumption. Mine blew in January 110,000 mi. All maintenance done at dealership.
Damn that's terrible news, thank you for sharing so others can keep an eye out.
@@CruiseControl1 it's critical. Very common. Begins around 85,000
We’re you driving it normal or in sport and stepping on it ?
In sport
What year was it? 2011? I heard that specific year model came really bad with oil consumption. But in the 2012 they made the fixes on that problem.
I’m picking up a 2013 black a4 tomorrow can’t wait
Awesome!!! Congrats on getting your A4. Thank you for your comment and for watching my channel.
yo how's the car going? I was thinking about getting an A4 around that year too so I'm a bit curios on how other peoples experiences are
I found a 2012 Audi A4 with only 73k miles with a great price, im just doing research hoping it’s a good first car. any advice?
Absolutely, please have it checked out by a mechanic. Is this from a private seller or a dealer, if it's from a dealer I would get extended warranty, mainly to cover excess oil consumption. Either way I would check my oil level every 1,000 miles and add oil as needed.
I really like the 2012 A4, drives great, build quality is really good, looks nice inside and out. Just make sure it's inspected by a mechanic and if you buy it please due the proper maintenance for it. Example oil changes regularly, and even though it's pricy I would take it to the Audi dealer for these so they can tell you each time what else will be needed.

Did you get the A4?
I basically bought the same car (s-line Audi a4 2012 with 78k miles) any tips to stay reliable and not kill my car asap
Congrats, I really like the A4. Stay up on regular maintenance, address any recalls and you can have it inspected by a trusted mechanic.
Just picked one up in white I love it I love EUROS
Nice, what year did you get?
Mine is lowered on bronze wheels
2011
The guy was a manager at a Firestone and took care of all maintenance no lights no issues I’m blessed
I like Bronze wheels.
I'm really interested in this car. I'm thinking to buy it as my first car in college, still saving up tho. Hoping to get it soon.
Are you looking for a specific year?
i’m buying a 2012 A4 quattro premium with 100K miles on it from a dealer for 10K. Is it worth the buy?
As long as it passes a mechanical inspection I would say it’s a good deal.
Hola amigo estoy interesa en comprar un audi a4 pero dicen que el periodo de 2009 a 2012 tuvieron problemas que perdia mucho aceite y el cambio multitronic tambien tuvo problomas, que opinas seria buena opcion? O mejor ir a por merdecez clase c de 2007-2010?
Thank you for your comment and your questions.
Personally I prefer the A4 from 09-12 for how it drives compared to the C class Mercedes from 07-10. Both will have reliability issues so really it will come down to the condition and price of the one you are looking at. I would choose whichever one was maintained the best between the models you are looking at.
Is this version a prestige or premium plus? I have this same car but don’t have the media knobs below the transmission or that separate AC control area. Wondering what this is based of off mine.
I don't remember unfortunately, this was a vehicle I rented off of Turo.
@@CruiseControl1 interesting, ok! I’ve never been able to truly find out. Not sure I have the papers anymore. I’d imagine that this one is the prestige though.
Thanks for info!
No problem, thank you for the question and for watching my channel.
@@MisterIHoward Yours is the Premium Plus. This is a Prestige (with backup camera and map/navi)
The base model was called a Premium and even it was. Lol.
Thank you for this video Men u just got a new subscriber 🔥💀
Thank you for the comment and for watching my channel, I am glad you enjoyed the video.
Do you think a Audi A4 going for 5,000 and pushing 200k miles is a good deal
Depends on well it’s been maintained. Does it show the oil was changed on time? Were all the recommended services done on time?
Have a mechanic inspect it and then use that information along with how it drives and service history determine if it’s worth it.
would you recommend an A4 2010 with 50k miles? i love the looks, but mechanic wise i've read bad reviews;(.
I love these Audi A4's, are the most reliable know but that's not why you buy one. Hopefully you can get yours with a warranty, have it checked out with a mechanic and make sure you put away some side money if something comes up. Thank you for your question and for watching my channel.
@@CruiseControl1 Thanks man, love the review! i hope i can get it soon
Absolutely and please let me know if you get it.
‘08 to 2012 a4’s with a 1.8 and 2.0 tfsi engines tend to use more oil. There is a fault in the engine and audi offered a fix back then. When buying one check the maintenance history to find out if your car still has the problem. Cars with well over 200.000 km usually don’t have the problem anymore.

Nice car
Thank you for the comment and for watching my channel.
Wow I love Audis
Thank you for the comment and for watching my channel. Which Audi would you buy?
@@CruiseControl1 Don't really know. I drive a basic '16 Civic right now and will probably drive this for years to come. Just love the way those Audis look.
No worries the Civic is a great car as I have owned 5 of them. If you have any questions just let me know.
Looking at one right now
Nice what year?
Audi looks good but don't know if they are reliable as Lexus
No not as reliable as a Lexus.
@@CruiseControl1 That's what I thought Lexus are great cars never had any problem with my es 350
The es 350 is great, very comfortable and reliable. The A4 is more engaging to drive and it has AWD.
That's not 2012 model, the upgraded model came out in 2012
It's a 2012, you can click the link in the description and it pulls up the Turo rental where it shows from the owner that it's a 2012.

@@CruiseControl1 it might be a 2012 car but it's not the 2012 model.... I had the upgrade for four years so I should know. There are quite a few differences.... the visible ones on the outside include different front and rear bumpers, different headlamps, rear lights and grille. The S line stock alloys are different. There were changes made to the suspension, different steering wheel etc.
Well that's very interesting, not sure why this would be a 2012 year but not a 2012 model. Thank you for the input though. Did you have any oil consumption issues?
@@CruiseControl1 There were quite a number of the older model registered here in the early months of 2012 here in Europe I'm assuming that there were a number registered in the US at that time too but the upgrade model was introduced in 2012. Mine was registered in June 2012. I had no issues with oil consumption but mine was a 190 bhp diesel.... I do know that the oil pump issues that occurred with the earlier 2.0 diesel were comprehensively dealt with in the newer model. I had a minor issue with the egr valve on my 2016 model but my current 2020 hybrid model has been flawless .
I'm sure the diesel engines didn't suffer the same fate of oil consumption as the gas burners did. Do you prefer the diesel engine or the hybrid powertrain?
