My other sarky reason for A4 Avant ownership is that a Subie says, "I buy all of my Clothing at REI" and an Audi says, "I buy all of my clothing at Banana Republic," but the 17-year-old Audi says, "I buy all of my Banana Republic clothing at Goodwill," which in my case, is true. Mine is a manual five speed, FWIW. I think this merits me real leather shoes.
+Dejan Pećanac I live on a steep hill and the access to my driveway is via an alley that is not maintained. It turns into a solid sheet of ice in the wintertime. My old FWD Honda Civic couldn't make it up the alley. My RWD Toyota Tacoma can't, either. the AWD Audi, though, it is nice and steady. It's got enough torque to handle a second-gear start which is essential when navigating icy streets. The other nice thing about the AWD is that acceleration feels more subtle. I have to watch out with it or I will come on to the freeway going 120km/h (+/- 75 mph!) which in Kansas is highly frowned upon! Because of this subtle feeling, the car seems more sophisticated - a grownup's car after my hoonable '88 Civic DX hatch.
"...aesthetic that's as common as the urge to sprint during the Assassin's Creed Loading screen; it's sleek, but uninspired." Your metaphors are always so on-point.
Take the roof rack of lower it, massive exhaust, massive rims and welcome to British car shows and don't forget the 4.2 l badge on the back of your 1.8l
Ugh, I owned one of these for ~5 years (midnight blue sedan, 1.8T quattro with a manual) That armrest you played with needs to be kept upright alllll the fucking time if you have the manual transmission, and my magnet/clip broke too, so it's constantly like "HAHA FUCK YOU I'M CHEAPLY MADE". I once described mine as 'The Tuxedo T-shirt of Cars'. I stand by that one.
Still wouldn't call Audi cheaply made. Yes, earlier Audis had their flaws indeed. I'm not even mentioning Audis in the pre 90s, except ofc S2! Still, nowadays they are pretty solid choices, if one wants a nice premium car.
I had an 03 a4. Every hard plastic piece in those cars is coated with a rubberish coating. It barely takes anything to rub it off. Combine that with a cooling system that I almost had to completely replace, makes that a car I'll probably never buy again.
pavettto It cannot be compared to previous models because it is not; this was built in Mexico and was the beginning of the 'tarted up volkswagen' mantra
It still bothers me that Audi sell CVT transmissions in the USA. I thought it was a joke when someone told me but nope, they actually do sell CVTs in the USA! Meanwhile, the only options I can get for in the EU (and rightfully so) are a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed Dual Clutch (6-speed is standard). Step up your game, Audi North America.
Mathieu Levac Nope. They still sell CVTs now. Its the only option available on FWD models. ryanmail2004 Technically, the EU pays less for an Audi than the USA does. The reason why it looks like the EU Pays more is because, by law, our sticker price includes all taxes and extra charges unlike the USA where its just the MSRP of the car and nothing else. Its difficult to do a direct comparison since base model slightly differ between countries. The UK Audi A4, for example, comes with a 1.8L engine and a 6-speed with FWD, the USA comes with a 2.0L engine and a CVT with FWD - but the MSRP between the two is a whopping $3500 in favour of the UK. Less standard equipment in the USA but a much weaker engine in the UK. Swings and roundabouts, really. Once you start comparing spec-for-spec (S-Line in the UK, Prestige in the USA), the price difference shrinks to about than $1000, but the UK would still be the slightly cheaper option as far as MSRP is concerned.
Damn you're right! They just used to call them cvt out right before. Now named multitronic. Figured with the horrendous track record the b6 cvt had, they stopped making them!
My friend used to have a B5 Passat that had a 1.8t with a 5 speed and a great tune with exhaust. I'm not gonna lie, that car was great. It was nice to drive in, the tune made it pretty quick, and the interior was very well made. It didn't remind me of any stereotypes associated with "cheap" German vehicles of the time.
I agree. I currently have a B5.5 Passat with a 5 speed and I think it was built really well. However, I've also driven a 2002 A4 and honestly the interior quality is inferior to my Passat's interior. It's way less comfortable and the materials are just junk. Plus in all honesty I didn't think it looked as good as the Passat...
rkan2 They aren't exactly the same. interior and exterior are totally different and the Passat rides on a slightly stretched version of the A4 chassis. Also I actually meant that I drove a 2001 A4. The 2002 A4 rides on the B6 platform.
_"Alright kids, today we're gonna learn about the animal kingdom taxonomy, what a knot is and I need you to form groups cause we gonna do a little role play to make it even more fun! Please open your books on page 621..."_
I had the 3.2 v6 version and it was quite fun. You could drive it like a solid sedan, or you could floor it and be up to 100 before you knew it. And handled and cornered quite well. And the seats were super comfortable.
VAG might only be number 3rd or 4th largest manufacturer, but they are the most diverse. VW, Audi, SEAT, Skoda, Scania, MAN, Ducati, Bentley, Porsche, Lamborghini, Bugatti. Who else offers entry level hatchbacks for the mod life, drop dead gorgeous 2 wheel machines, luxurious sedans finer than penthouses, and incredible hypercars dreams are made of? Noone.
Bolt ons, k04 turbo and a tune shoots the power level right up around 300 (if you use good parts with a quality tune). 1.8t is a tank of an engine. Iron block with a great flowing head. Mine has 300,000 miles tuned at 25si, issue free so far aside from a ps pump and alternator.
Okay I just have to compliment you on how you just seem to know about everything. I mean seriously from Assasins Creed to Childrens books you just seem to know enough about every subject to make a really good analogy with it.
this guy never ceases to amaze me i mean i literally started laughing so hard at the furaffinity quote that i almost died. Good Job Mr.Regular Good Job.
"It has an aesthetic that's as common as the urge to sprint during the 'load screen' of Assassin's Creed..." Holy shit...wow...fucking nailed that one haha What's scary was I wasn't aware that I ALWAYS did that...until now O_o
THAT DAMNED BROKEN ARM REST. I had a 2003 Audi A4 Quattro B6. Freaking loved that car and never had an issue (aside from the armrest) until 160k miles when the turbo needed to be replaced. $2900 later and I sold it cause I didn't want the hassle of owning a German car passed 170k miles.
Currently have an 03 A4 3.0 quattro Ultrasport (that parts a joke of a trim) and yeah pretty nice car, fun to drive the cats are toasted as hell so...straight pipes but 6 speed soooo pluss there
I definitely feel like you didn't touch on how capable these cars are and the potential they have. Stock, they are certainly pretty boring but the Ultrasport 6 speed with a few mods is a very entertaining and functional daily driver

I had the B5 A4 avant- wagon 5 speed.. full Suspension ATP turbo etc it was super heavy but was a fun car especially for San Francisco to Los Angeles road trips
Those cars are for people that would really be happy with a Buick, but they want to appear more upscale to massage their fractured self-image. "Look at you, over there with your crappy Impala......I'M driving a finely crafted, German-engineered masterpiece".
justsumguy2u I've owned a ton of cars from every corner of the world. I have an informed opinion. You seem to be working with insecurity and blind bias.
No insecurity here,but you are completely ignoring the fact that what you drive is a reflection on you, whether you think it should be or not. The choice of car someone makes says something about their character, their values. Don't think even for one second that that's just my opinion; it's ALWAYS been like that, and always will be.
justsumguy2u Sorry, but that's just to superficial people with warped senses. Maybe that's the masses (MAYBE), but that does not apply to me. I don't hate on BMW drivers because I happen to currently own an Audi and there's supposed to be some stupid rivalry. I also don't hate on Honda drivers... I was one at one point and I would easily buy another if the right one came around. It's people like you that want to project onto others and try and validate it when in fact you're the problem. Also, most Audi drivers like that what they drive doesn't stand out. Especially S4 and RS4 wagon drivers. People just think they're base A4's and the drivers love that... my personal S4 is debaged. The only way you can tell it's an S4 from the outside is the V8 rumble. Lastly, a few years ago most didn't even know what an Audi was, so none of what you said makes any sense.
I own a 2003 Audi Avant 3.0 (bought it new). That is SIX cylinders with a 6 speed manual. Smooth engine and handles like it is on rails. There is nothing else on the market that checks all the boxes that I want in a car (14 years later).
The fact that he can reference fur affinity in a review means that he knows what it is, and frequents the site. Mayeb he even posts there! :D Lol. Good job dude!
former AUDI owner here ('84 AUDI GT. probably a nice car when it was new. I was at LEAST the 3rd owner and after a few months of ownership, everything started to fall apart). judo for the Where the Red Firn Grows and Assassins Creed references. "Everything's Denver here!".
I know what you mean, I use to own an 04 A6 2.7T Quattro. Although it was fun and very grippy, it was a maintenance nightmare. Had every possible leak possible from transmission, engine oil, power steering, to having a leak that broke the transmission computer and so forth. So glad I got rid of it for an 09 Impreza.
+Raphy G. It scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. Not so much for the sad parts, but the part where the one kid dies on his own hatchet. It was 10 times worse in the book-on-tape version, I assure you.
I had the VW version of this car. The interior made me feel like I was better than everyone else, but the chassis CONSTANTLY had mechanical problems. It was infuriating because it drove _so well_ when everything was working correctly and _so badly_ when even one small thing was working incorrectly. I spent 2x the purchase price keeping it maintained. I will never buy another VW again.
Non enthusiasts? Oh is that why Vw vortex and Audizine are some of the 2 biggest car forums in the world? and the biggest sub forum at Audizine is the B6 one... wow. where have you been the past decade or 2.
Mathieu Levac I can name a half dozen car forums far larger. Any truck forum. Honda forums. Mustang forums, Camaro forums. I am a member on about 50+ forums including VWvortex. Just saying.
I agree on the Audi All-Road being the Outback for Republicans, but that is only in more urbanized areas where Audi dealers are more prevalent. Back in the sticks of Pennsyltucky, Rupublicans who think they will be the brunt of a bad stereo type because they would own an Outback or a Forrester will purchase a stripped down, base model, Grand Cherokee Laredo. This also holds true for Oregon, West Virginia, New Hampshire, and Vermont. And I speak from some authority as the official vehicle of our Kentucky Compound is a 98 Grand Cherokee.
Thanks for the explaining that gary, that doesnt really occur here in canada, as most of the population is in urban areas and no one thinks subaru apart from tuning ppl with the wrx or ppl who want a cheap awd with the lower models.
The A4 is not built on the Passat platform. The Passat platform is called PQ46(A6), while the A4's platform is called PL46(B6) The Passat platform is basically a stretched Golf 5 or Jetta platform
The b5 had the aeb engine which had larger ports on the head, but a slightly smaller turbo (ko3) it made 150. the b6 had the amb, if i recall correctly. It had the ko3s turbo and smaller head ports. It made 170.
Yeah like i said previously, the b6 IN CANADA(eh) AND USA where i am from (and the channel's owner is from) only had the 170hp 4cyl the 3.0 v6 and the 4.2 v8. No different powers in the engines. Im quite knowlegdable about the VAG world.
I always have wanted to see my car on this channel, which is a 2007 Saturn Aura XR. It's after Saturn reinvented itself, so I'd be curious as to what he thought of it. Much better than the Ion.
The Aura was a great car. Mainly because it was a rebadged version of an existing great Euro car. The Ion on the other hand was based on the Cobalt so it didn't have much ceiling to shoot for.
*I* bought an A4 because I want an Outback but don't want too many people making assumptions about whether or not I shave my legs.
brilliant

Also, most Audi drivers like that what they drive doesn't stand out. Especially S4 and RS4 wagon drivers. People just think they're base A4's and the drivers love that... my personal S4 is debaged. The only way you can tell it's an S4 from the outside is the V8 rumble. Lastly, a few years ago most didn't even know what an Audi was, so none of what you said makes any sense.
Damn, good choice with the Weepies song. Didn't expect to hear that gem. Wish the rest of their stuff was that good :P
Loved the frozen bit. GG Mr Regular.
Hate to admit but I really like that damn song. My kids are apeshit for it too. Once you embrace your inner sissy, it ain't so bad.
Even tho these are 20yo, driving a tidy/clean one still gets you a bit of executive respect.
I had one of these as a field car when I was wee, cut the springs off welded the shocks and rolled it I don't know how many times
I own a 2003 Audi Avant 3.0 (bought it new). That is SIX cylinders with a 6 speed manual. Smooth engine and handles like it is on rails. There is nothing else on the market that checks all the boxes that I want in a car (14 years later).
I'm about to buy this exact car...
That Furaffinity plug.
Best video yet!
The fact that he can reference fur affinity in a review means that he knows what it is, and frequents the site. Mayeb he even posts there! :D Lol. Good job dude!
It was a silly joke. And yes I know that correlation does not mean causation.
awesomeologyism Thou dust protest too much.
Joe Williston What does having dust protest have to do with any of this?
My old gym teacher drove a 08 a4. This is amazing
lol Furaffinity
i freaking died from hearing that lol
former AUDI owner here ('84 AUDI GT. probably a nice car when it was new. I was at LEAST the 3rd owner and after a few months of ownership, everything started to fall apart).
judo for the Where the Red Firn Grows and Assassins Creed references.
"Everything's Denver here!".
I know what you mean, I use to own an 04 A6 2.7T Quattro. Although it was fun and very grippy, it was a maintenance nightmare. Had every possible leak possible from transmission, engine oil, power steering, to having a leak that broke the transmission computer and so forth.
So glad I got rid of it for an 09 Impreza.
Where the Red Fern Grows made me cry as a kid
+Raphy G.
It scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. Not so much for the sad parts, but the part where the one kid dies on his own hatchet. It was 10 times worse in the book-on-tape version, I assure you.
I had a professor with one of these. Class was never canceled.
I had the VW version of this car. The interior made me feel like I was better than everyone else, but the chassis CONSTANTLY had mechanical problems. It was infuriating because it drove _so well_ when everything was working correctly and _so badly_ when even one small thing was working incorrectly. I spent 2x the purchase price keeping it maintained. I will never buy another VW again.
Good decision buddy
Where do I get a regular car reviews sticker???
Tell me tell me please I wanna know I want one
I love the song parodies at the end of the videos.
That engine can make som serious power - awesome engine :)
You lied!!! The Outback for republicans is the Audi Allroad!!!
Also, this is more like an Impreza for non-enthusiasts of cars
Non enthusiasts? Oh is that why Vw vortex and Audizine are some of the 2 biggest car forums in the world? and the biggest sub forum at Audizine is the B6 one... wow. where have you been the past decade or 2.
Mathieu Levac I can name a half dozen car forums far larger. Any truck forum. Honda forums. Mustang forums, Camaro forums. I am a member on about 50+ forums including VWvortex. Just saying.
I agree on the Audi All-Road being the Outback for Republicans, but that is only in more urbanized areas where Audi dealers are more prevalent. Back in the sticks of Pennsyltucky, Rupublicans who think they will be the brunt of a bad stereo type because they would own an Outback or a Forrester will purchase a stripped down, base model, Grand Cherokee Laredo. This also holds true for Oregon, West Virginia, New Hampshire, and Vermont. And I speak from some authority as the official vehicle of our Kentucky Compound is a 98 Grand Cherokee.
Thanks for the explaining that gary, that doesnt really occur here in canada, as most of the population is in urban areas and no one thinks subaru apart from tuning ppl with the wrx or ppl who want a cheap awd with the lower models.
so when are you actually gonna do a review of the Catera?
The A4 is not built on the Passat platform. The Passat platform is called PQ46(A6), while the A4's platform is called PL46(B6)
The Passat platform is basically a stretched Golf 5 or Jetta platform
God, I had a Passat with the same engine and B6 platform....... Stepping on the accelerator you felt like you were always waiting for the power.
This is the last place I expected to hear the kid with no hands,mother reference.
1:00-1:20
Today i learned I should drive a Quattro
Wait, RCR reviewing an actually regular car? didn't think I'd see that any more =)
The 1.8t has 170 in the b6 model not 148. lol
Uhm no, i had an early b5 only they made 150. Late b5 and b6 all made 170.
Sline is only body, interior and suspension, no power mods.
The b5 had the aeb engine which had larger ports on the head, but a slightly smaller turbo (ko3) it made 150. the b6 had the amb, if i recall correctly. It had the ko3s turbo and smaller head ports. It made 170.
Mathieu Levac
They sell underpowered cars to Americans. Maybe it has something to do with this. 148HP for a 1.8T seemed pretty low to me too.
Yeah like i said previously, the b6 IN CANADA(eh) AND USA where i am from (and the channel's owner is from) only had the 170hp 4cyl the 3.0 v6 and the 4.2 v8. No different powers in the engines. Im quite knowlegdable about the VAG world.
Do you guys have full versions of the songs you make?
I always have wanted to see my car on this channel, which is a 2007 Saturn Aura XR. It's after Saturn reinvented itself, so I'd be curious as to what he thought of it.
Much better than the Ion.
The Aura was a great car. Mainly because it was a rebadged version of an existing great Euro car. The Ion on the other hand was based on the Cobalt so it didn't have much ceiling to shoot for.
Joel Back
I love my Aura. And it was a rebadged Opel Vectra with a bigger engine, if I'm not mistaken.
That ending song was perfect.
You and The Roman should do a car podcast, I'd listen.
Did The Roman just threw in a reddit reference at the end? or maybe it's just me and have been hanging around reddit for too long.
you should do the c5 allroad! 6mt if you can track one down.
Knowing what we know now, after Mr. Regular came out, the comment about FurAffinity really starts to make sense, lol
If you are ever in the Ann Arbor area, feel free to do a review on anything in our garage.
hey Mr Regular/Roman, can you post plans for your sweet dangly go-pro steady rig?
Seriously, what's with the saws? Why do you need so many?
Let it bro!
Love the Mitch Hedberg reference, RIP
your dog is like where the red fern grows, that's so sad 😭
Did you guys get a steadicam or is that just the 60fps that makes it look smoother than I'm used to?
Mr. RegularCars ! how much time you need for make one Review ? well made, i like it ;)
Plz do an early Geo Metrol 3 cylinder 1.0
Geo Metro
The Official Car of: "Beggars Can't be Choosers, but I'm not going to drive your damned Prius Dad."
Is the big difference between Audi and Subaru the cabin noise?
Hey Mister Regular!!! Speaking of Cadillac Catera, how soon for a review over one?
Lol Furaffinity...
