That is so very incredible of you to say Tony! Thanks for being part of the Raiti's Rides family.

I like the way that you think Omar!

@@RaitisRides It's not about the size, it's how you use it. At least that's what my girlfriend says to make me feel good about myself.

Omar you are hella gay

@@xFlared It’s a trap!

Thanks Jack! I appreciate you have my back!

I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.

Thanks for letting me share it with you and for the heads up!

You are the man! I really can not do it without you!

LOL i can't stop laughing at your comment...

😂😂😂😂

Thanks for taking the time to say that! Lori and I really appreciate your support! You are so very right about that.

Thanks for that great info!

I am so glad that you like that!

Thanks for sharing that info.

She does such a great job!

What’s the ownership like and the cost? I’m literally thinking about going the same route because I’ll be coming from a 2016 STi. I love the facia of the B9, this new gen looks so soft and watered down but I’m willing to give it a try. I was just watching a video with the 034 Motorsports tune. What year is yours?

@@avantnarde2815 Man, do i have the answer for you. I came from a built big turbo 2016 STI with ~550whp and ~440Wtq. As far as cost of ownership, its 2x the cost of a new STI depending on wether you buy a new or used S4 and what trim level. I never buy used because I like having the peace of mind knowing i purchased a car thats new and had been taken care of. You will get better MPG overall, but oil changes are more expensive as they hold 7.8 quarts. Compared to the 4.5 i believe on the STI. My B9.5 S4 on 91 pump gets 30mpg with a stage 2 tune and full bolt ons. On E85, it drops to about 20 ish depending on driving style. As far as performance, its a complicated story. My STI would shit all over my S4 on the big end as it was only 3200 pounds and making big power. However, the Audi has a far more useable power and a much better power band than my STI did. Couple that with lightning fast shifts and pretty much non existant turbo lag on the S4, and ill take a FBO stage 2 S4 over a 500+whp STI any day. Plus, the overall driving experience is loads better. Better interior, more luxuries even on the standard trim, and far more responsive to modifications, as a stage 1 91/93 tune on a B9/B9.5 S4 will net 40-50 Hp and roughly 100Tq and requires no hardware, and you can also run Ethanol without needing hardware, just a tune. Owned my 2021 S4 for almost a year now. Stage 2 ECU and stage 1 TCU, Intake, turbo inlet, intercooler, downpipe, and full track exhaust. No reliability issues *knocks on wood*, and plan to push it further. There are Stage 3 B9 S4 with hybrid turbo setups making 720hp and 720tq on E60 on stock block with many many pulls and nobody has found the limit of the stock block yet. If you have the cash, i say do it. If npt the S4, shell out a tad more and get the new 8Y RS3.

@@MeatloafMelvin I’m considering rid of my 21 sti for 22 rs3 or s4. But the price right now is ridiculous

@@yizhouwang7904 Yeah, i looked at the new 8Y RS3 at a dealer near me. MSRP of 65k, but they have a 10-15k markup depending on wether on not you are a returning customer, or a new customer. Sorry, but as nice of a platform the RS3 is, its not 80-85k nice.

Thank you for saying that! I can't do it without your support!

Thanks I really appreciate you saying that!

Very good points!

I can't do it without everyone's support!

Thanks Anibal for letting me share the laughs and the cars with you!

I’ve been following you since you started doing videos of cars. I like how you zonk the back wipers from suvs. And the fake air vents. You have to have functional exhaust pipes or vents.

I appreciate your awesome support Ray!

It really pops!

Hi Eric! I will track one down for you!

@@RaitisRides thanks Joe, always can count on you!

Thanks Sully! I would take your car over this one.

@@RaitisRides Yeah. There's something about the 6 speed and supercharged V6. My car also doesn't have the obnoxious infotainment screen. It's much smaller without near the technology but it just looks way cooler. It also has on the door sill S4 not S and the Alcantara seats also say S4 not just S. You know, little stuff like that is important. It's like Audi cared more in 2014 than in 2021. Thanks Joe!

You are so right about that!

I knew I wasn’t the only one to think that. It looks less aggressive and more soft, less sporty and more average. Which is a shame because I love this car

Thanks Bryer! That means the World!

62k!!?! For a mundane conservative look. Used M3 same price and would run circles around this.

So very right about that!

@@richardmartinez6437 This is true.

@@richardmartinez6437 true

@@richardmartinez6437 using that logic... Used rs5 is also same price lol. Also might as well get a used R8 too

Thanks for sharing that great input from your ownership

I totally agree with you Jack!

Thanks Antonio!

@@RaitisRides hope you do that McLaren 720s spider review

I agree with you!

It really does pop! Congrats on your A5.

Thanks Tony for letting bring some laughs and the cars to you!

Which is better

Thanks for letting me share it with you!

It’s not a twin turbo, it’s a single turbo. You have to jump up to the RS4/RS5 to get a twin turbo

@@hlf_coder6272 Thanks for the Correction; we all know that a Single Turbo setup makes better power anyway. Twins are for response. No matter, turbo is turbo, it's still a great car..

It really does pop!

I love what you did there! Larry! You freaking had me in tears!

@@RaitisRides 👍🏻🙏🏼

@@LS1007 Thanks!

Well, it is Turbo Blue...which is very similar to Miami Blue from Porsche.

LOL!

Hey Louis!

Totally agree. I like the car but not for 62k.

I agree with you 100%

I am so glad that you like this one Adam! Thanks for showing Lori some love!

You can say that again!

Where I am a 9 or 10 year old one goes for 25k. I have various ones including S4 and S5 sportback. MY 2018 s5 is worth 55 to 60k with ultra low miles.

It pops in the sun!

Yes it does.

I totally agree with you! Hey Kenny!

@@RaitisRides I second that! My 2017 Allroad wheels are 10X better than those. Cmon Audi get it together

What pos do you have now

Thanks for letting me share this one with you!

@@thenotoriousjoey9956 Toyota

I am so glad that you like this one.

I agree with you!

S5 costs more

A5/S5/RS5 Coupé looks the best of the compact cars in the lineup.

Yeah that sportsback is eye candy😍

I don't really get the sportback. You want a coupe, get a coupe,. You want a sedan, get a sedan. I have yet to see a true S5 coupe on the road yet. It's like they're making more sportbacks these days.

$

I think you will love it!

You definitely will

@@yes8032 AGREED!

That would defiantly be amzing!

This is not a diesel. We do not get that engine in the USA from Audi.

@@RaitisRides That might explain why it sounds so good then. But im sure the v6 diesel doesnt sound too bad 👍

Thanks for sharing that great input.

It’s because of the sports seats in it. If you get the s4 without sports seats it will have ventilated seats

How’d that go?

You are so awesome man!

Why?

I totally agree with you!
