  • Audi S4 B8 3.0 TFSI 2009 review Car video.
    What a day!
    Today i had this 2009 Audi S4 come in. The guy it came from was a bit shady about the sale of the car but i done all of my checks and following the drive in this video and a thorough look over the car it all turnt out to be just fine. Regardless of anything, as soon as i knew i could get my hands on an Audi S4 i think it would've been near on impossible to steer me away from buying it because i was just so excited about driving it!
    In the video i show how to check over a car, it goes to show how good these cars really are. It's done 110,000 miles and it looks and feels like it's done half that. These cars are over 300bhp from factory, they're a 4 door saloon and they're Quatto, they really do tick so many boxes! If you're considering buying a B8 Audi S4 and you want to see a review of it, this is quite a good one. My reviews generally come with more of story rather than just a straight up review hence 'Calvin's Car Diary'
    I hope you enjoy the vid.

      @CalvinsCarDiary  Před 7 lety +1

      That's a really difficult one, personally i'd go for an A3 just because i like how they drive but i'd say out of the 2 the Audi is the less reliable option. They do have quite a few common faults.......

      @WPRO78 it was 464bhp but I can't remember nm. If I'd had it tuned on premium fuel it would have been just over 480bhp but work paid for fuel and I couldn't claim for premium grade so had it tuned on standard fuel. 0-60 was 3.72 on draggy and 11.7 at 112mph quarter mile was my best run on the road.

      I have the B8 S4 manual. I would suggest getting manual, but it is down to preference really. The DSG is very good, but costly to have repaired. Around 2-3k. Manual has no issues. I am tuned to 485hp, and it's holding this on the stock clutch.

      my S3 (I appreciate its a different engine) was 261bhp, now 323bhp with a light remap and a couple of breathing mods. Amazing performance for the money and I'd happily have an S4 with similar mods to take it to 400bhp. In fact I wouldn't even think twice about doing it, absolutely changed the car.
