My 2016 Audi A4 Avant

kgroschi · 12-06-2015, 03:45 PM

Hi guys! I was recently in Marseille driving the new Audi A4 Avant, which is an incredible car!!! Check out my first drive video!

Booo Audi. jkjk.

The new A4 looks great inside and out. I am pretty sure this one is better than the current 3 series. Looks like they really pushed the bar up this time.

Look forward to you complete review.

Because they are very practical and so damn beautiful.

Think of it like an SUV for people that actually like to drive.

This. Wagons are way better looking then the fruity crossover crap that ends up here which doesn't really satisfy the useful or fun to drive market. . . I'd MUCH rather have an RS4/RS6 wagon then just about anything on the road here in the states. Its a much better jack of all trades type car for family oriented types, business people who often have to load a fair amount of gear, or outdoor enthusiasts who have a fair amount of gear to transport around.

Wow I'm impressed
I have a B6 as my winter car... Prob the best winter car I've ever had. Audi makes really good cars, even back then.
Thnx for the video.

I am sure Europeans ask the same of Escalades...

I love station wagons, handle like a car and have the same space as a lot of SUVs.

Another wagon fan here, my DD is a 9-3 wagon. Sedans baffle me, i just don't get it.

The current and previous gen A4 wagon is gorgeous BUT FUCK ME they are small inside. IMHO too small for a family of four, they really are tight.

pbjjj · 12-08-2015, 04:20 PM

Big wagon fan here. Wish they would bring more high performance wagons here, like the VW Golf R Wagon. Can you imagine a BMW M wagons...

Count me in. I was just in Munich and bad ass wagons were everywhere. I was so jealous.

as much as I love Audis I can't get behind the new interiors with the vents all the way across the dash, something about it drives me nuts. Wagon looks amazing though.

Try to sit in it once. It actually looks very nice and is very complex to build.

I've been inside them... Actually test drove a Q7 for the wifey last week and just don't like the new interior. Audi interiors have always been my favorite too so believe me I'm no Audi hater.

Hmm that's too bad. But at least you saw it in person.

To me it's the first real high class Audi interior. I had several in my family so far and the quality never impressed me. The new A6/A7 cockpit got pretty good but this one blew me away. No matter if in the R8, Q7 or A4. Just fantastic. No more buttons made out of cheap hard plastic. At least not on the surface.. and it does look really nice imo.

Cannot wait for the new Allroad to get here in the fall, will be looking to get rid of my 2015 for the new 2017 model.

It blew my mind, but walking into the Audi showroom in Stockholm was an eye opening experience. Literally ALL wagons. And I don't mean they had every model wagon they make along with everything else. Was just wagons. Maybe one TT but think that was it.

Ya Audi even markets the wagons as being the more sporty car.
