Especially considering the B9 Generation was even more numb in the steering dept and less involving to drive. Now, I'm NOT saying this as a "Bimmer Snob", because I have owned AUDI's, Bimmers, Alfa's and Porsche. But, for the money you simply can NOT beat an E90 BMW 335i with the M-Sport Pkg and a Manual trans. The steering feel, chassis dynamics and overall driver-engagement are off the charts amazing. Of course, that was back when BMW actually cared driving enthusiasts.

The ZF8 torque converter auto gearbox is as good as any dct transmission. Reviewers highly rating it. Back in the days dct was faster than torque converter autos, not really the case anymore with a good auto.
@AnissaEx4 жыл бұрын
@@Saif0412 The benefit of the DCT goes beyond just quicker shifting. It is essentially a manual gearbox internally so it is less complicated than an auto as well as being stronger and less parasitic loss. I haven't driven the 8spd auto so i can't speak on the driving feel but man does the DCT feel nice. So snappy and the downshifts are on point. These cars with the the sport diff are so fun to drive, you can get it to hang the ass end out so easily. If only they brought the avant over to the states I would definitely own one.
@blondishasp5723 жыл бұрын
@@AnissaEx A DCT is NOT a manual transmission. It is an auto with twin shafts. Odd gears and even gears. The dual clutch part is how it disengages one shaft and engages the other. Aka how they shift gears. A manual has a clutch to separate the engine from the trans and you manual move gears on rails into place.

I have had a 2014 S4 from new and I basically agree with your assessment. They really improved the refinement (especially regarding the transmission) over the previous version (I had a 2010 version previously). The steering is the biggest weakness and is somewhat tire dependant. Regarding the throttle response, I remember test driving a 2010 model with the manual trans, and the throttle response of that car (especially for heel & toe) was second only to a CGT or McLaren F1. Lastly, this is one of the only Torsen diff. AWD cars that I have driven that can be easily induced to oversteer on throttle. It makes switching to a viscous diff AWD (say in an RS3) harder to contemplate 🤔

The only thing i would say is that the key being inserted to start the car is necessary for the spare key function or if your key's battery dies. The spare key has two parts, a plastic wallet key that can unlock the doors and glovebox, then in the glovebox is a shell that you put the wallet key into and then plug that into the key slot to start the car. handy if your key is broken or missing. oh and those slot things next to the shifter are for sure quarter holders!

Owning an 2014 s4 for the past 2 years, i never had the steering issues you noticed on the highway. Must have been something wrong with the car. I know audi made a steering firmware update a while back, maybe it wasn't applied to the car. On the brakes I totally agree with you, and in a parking lot I still find them over sensitive. The thing that I love beside the incredible throttle response is how well the car mask its weight. It doesn't feel like 4000lbs at all. The phenomenonal grip is probably the reason. My only real complaint about the s4 is that you have to gun it into very illegal limits to have fun on the road. It's too serious and lack playfulness.

This is a really good review. You are one of the few people that does a review where you actually learn about the car. I have a 2013 s4 and some of the things you pointed out like the car feeling like its moving out of lane even if straights. Just so you know that issue is now fixed with vagcom and it was the adaptive steering that audi implemented. Through vagcom you can turn it off, getting rid of that. Oh an the fake engine soundtrack can be turned off too by pulling a fuse that specifically relates to the engine sound amplification. I tried driving with it off for a few weeks and honestly I like it with the sound actuators better. I like my cars loud and the sound is nice. The problem is that when a car is loud you get a lot of attention. This solves it by giving you the noise that you want inside the car but not as much outside. Smart move I think. But... All of that didn't matter after I bought an exhaust haha. Good video brother. Keep it up. Hopefully soon you will be able to review a supercar!

That feed back that your getting is Audi’s torque steer. It pretty much keeps the wheel straight for you when you hit the gas. Try it from a standstill you’ll see what I’m talking about

Great review, I also notice that yaw that happens in the steering. Seems to happen when there is bad undulations in the road, I find it to be discomforting a bit. In regards to the fake sound coming into the cabin, I don't think it's as a result of the lack of engine noise, rather there's so much sound deadening in the cabin that the noise doesn't naturally transfer to the interior that well when you're driving it.

awesome review! love it! But if I remember it right it is the 1st time I saw that you review the back trunk. I didn't see it till the review of lexus is 250. So maybe please add it in the future and I'm really looking forward to seeing you review the is 350! thank you

awesome review! love your videos! i have test driven both new sti and s4. i found myself to have an absolute blast in the s4 to where i was disappointed with the sti due to lack of torque untill 4k. So im wondering, what do you to find to be more fun?

+Eric Borlie Well, I prefer manual, and haven't driven the stick shift S4. I love the engine in the S4, both are fun when pushed.

Not sure if you were aware, but holding the "unlock" button on the key fob will actually drop the front window's from afar, it does this on most if not all VAG cars, SEAT/AUDI/SKODA/VW Great Review by the way :)

How fast you reached for the gear shift at 11:15 tells me that you are a real driver and you miss your stick shift already :))) Took you 8 seconds :))))

@ 7:11 The car also is equipped with rear fog lights but for most Americans they have no idea what they are for or how to use them. Good Review, I love my S4.

I just want to point out that when someone sits in the back, its been the same since I was kid in the 60's, you straddle the center hump, you don't put your feet on it. Thanks for the video.

15:40 Is the Redline at 6k or 7k ? Or is 6k the point where you can start, "Backing off or you'll hit 7k" type of deal? Never understood that about this car...

As a sidenote: you can also keep the unlock button on the FOB pushed to slide down all windows and open the sunroof a bit. No need to put the key into the hole ;) Also, the issue with the steering is the lane departure assistant i would say, which tries to keep you on track rather aggressively, its the button on the left signal stick. Took me a while to understand it, i thought it has steering issues as you did.

Cool review from a little different viewpoint than usual! Love to see more!

I work at an Audi dealership and I've driven many S4's and my only real complain about the car would be the understeer they suffer. A thicker rear sway bar tunes it out pretty well and it becomes a much better handling car. I would assume most of the reason for it would be the fact the motor is mounted so far forward as with most Audis. If they would mount that motor farther back, it would really help with the understeer and make it a much better handling car.

The car is a keyless start but if you put it in the slot it charges the key fob. Neat little feature!
