New a4 premium plus
Just traded in my 2011 A5. The difference is dramatic. Bought with every possible upgrade. If you like a hard drive German machine this is it. I tested the A6 and thought I was in a Lexus. I got the black optics pkg with 19" wheels. I love the hard feel. Plenty of power. I put the car in dynamic mode and it reminds me of my 1970 TR6. It's a blast. Ok so it's not as pretty as my A5 but it drives like a sports car. The downside is all the electronics. Way to difficult to master. But if pure driving is what your looking for you found it. To update my listing. MPG not what I had expected. Only getting about 26.5 . Very disappointed with the summer tire I just had to replace @ 21,000. Car could use some more HP. Otherwise the car still runs and looks great. Debating moving away from Audi when lease is up. This is my 4 Audi in a row. Possibly moving to Lexus as the BMW's are just too small.

Two for the road
Within 2 weeks of buying our A4 we took it on a 5000 mile tour to see friends and family. The car handles like a sports car but offers as comfortable and quiet ride as a limo. Despite driving in several Western States with speed limits of either 70 or 75 mph, we managed a 31+ mpg figure and that includes driving over both the Sierra and Rocky Mountains.

Former Bimmer fan
Previous to this A4, I have owned 3 BMW 3 series vehicles. I loved Bimmers and thought that I would drive them for life. My wife needed a new car and we test drove the 3 series, but they seemed to have lost so much feel. They just aren't what they used to be. Then we drove the quattro. Man, what a ride. It blows the Bimmer out of the water. It may not be as fast 0-60, but feels better in every other regard. It corners better, it has a slightly stiffer suspension, and hugs the road like a bear. If you are thinking about a Bimmer, do yourself a favor and test drive a quattro. P.S. If you go A4, go quattro or go home.
After a thorough search, this is what I found
This is my 3rd installment of reviews of my 2014 Audi A4 Premium Plus. I was envious of the 2017 A4's engine output and torque figures. I mentioned it to the tech and while having the car serviced. He said, "Just chip it!" So, I did. In July of 2017 with 88,800 miles on the car, I went with the Stage 1 ECU upgrade from APR (goapr.com). The power improvement is immediately noticeable, and it's addictive. Once you get used to the improved performance it's not easy going back to the stock configuration. Just to be cautious I do revert to 'normal' engine mode every so often. The 'chip' has 4 modes: 93 Octane; 91 Octane; Valet [which restricts speed to 30 MPH] and Normal or Stock. My fuel efficiency has decreased as expected, but it actually improves when I run on cruise control for long distances. I cannot accurately note the loss of efficiency because I went from Pirelli P7 Cinturato Low Rolling Resistance tires to Michelins Pilot Sport A/S 3+. Before having the chip installed I noticed a decrease in fuel efficiency with the change in tires. I'm still loving this car. A friend of mine, who happens to be an executive with Enterprise Holdings and is always driving the latest and greatest that the company has to offer, get's in and says, "Ya know, I like this car!" And believe me, this friend is NOT free and easy with compliments. I have 102,000 miles on the car. I am meticulous about maintenance and Keeping the car clean and shiny. I was honestly looking at another Audi, but realized I'm gonna entire soon and will most likely keep this one as long as I can. Still Enjoy This Automobile! My original review, made shortly after purchase follows this updated review. I have owned the 2014 Premium Plus version of Audi's A4 for 30 months and 76,000 miles. I still Love this car! I learned of an issue with deposits accumulating on the intake valves of direct injected turbocharged engines. I learned of some measures to reduce this accumulation and so far so good. Performance remains consistent i.e. very much the same as when I first began driving the car. I do my own oil changes at 5K mile intervals. I did notice that the HVAC unit seems to blow cold air when I wanted heat. I mentioned this when I a had the car serviced. The technician assured me that all was as it should be. At my last service there was an update to the programming of the HVAc unit addressing the issue that I had identified earlier. The dual zone climate control now works as prescribed. We looked at the new A4 but, in terms of styling, it seems dull compared to the 2014 (B8). Tires and wheels have been an issue as having never had blowout nor wheel damage I never anticipated a need for a wheel and tire warranty. With the 18" wheels, I purchased a new set of tires in six months. I've also had to have 3 wheels straightened at that place in Bath PA. Glad they're close by. I'm headed there again at the end of this month. Other than that there have been no issues. The car still gets nods and 'nice car' comments. And most of all, "I STILL THOROUGHLY ENJOY DRIVING THIS CAR!!! Still feels good every time I get in. Color me 'Happy'! Here's my original review: Just purchased a 2014 A4. The driving dynamics are amazing and better than the new BMW's. I have driven performance cars all my life and the handling of this car is sublime. The styling is subtle and elegant. The engine lacks the sonorous qualities of more performance oriented vehicles but given the plebeian power figures the car moves with an alacrity and agility that genuinely impresses; credit the 8 speed Steptronic transmission. Steering, while a bit numb is direct and precise. That's all I need from a sedan. Amenities abound and present themselves when you least expect them. It's like an Armani suit, the closer you look at the details the more beautiful touches you find. The A4 IMHO blends Power Elegance and Beauty like few automobiles ever have. Love this car!!! OKAY! Here we are at 86,600 miles....and I'm still in love with my A4. Nothing much has changed at all. I have had no issues with the mechanics of the car and she still turns heads and gets the occasional envious glance if not an outright thumbs up. I purchased a new set of Michelins as opposed to the OEM Pirelli's, which featured low rolling resistance. I notice an increase in fuel consumption. of about 2 or 3 MPG. But the Michelins feel softer and offer more feedback and about the same grip.

It is good if you trade in still under Warranty
First Safety Recall 19N4 - disconnect power to the electric (after run) coolant pump to remove the safety defect and fire risk, but failed to Install New Electric Coolant Pump. I am driving this car for 4 months with disconnected the pump, and I am very concern regarding the longevity of turbocharger. Without prior warning steering system failed. A red icon of steering wheel displayed on the dashboard and the message “steering system failure, do not drive the car”. After 3 hours toy truck driver started Audi and the problem disappeared. 2 days later my Audi refused to open the fuel gate, and displayed the codes: P2293 and P053F. I would auction Audi because cannot afford to pay a fortune for repairs. Audi Dealer suggests timing chain replacement for $2500 too. Audi Suggest except engine oil, no need to change other fluids, because are life warranty. In a certified mechanical shop changed Transmission, Differentials, Transfer Case, and Brake fluid with Audi OEM fluids. The transmission and Transfer case fluids were black like Tar. Sent sample for test, and was told to be replaced long before, when the car has 30000 miles.
