German? Out of warranty? Budget? Reliable?

Awd too

Yeah the A4 is a tier below a 335/340 for sure. S4 is more comparable to those cars.

If I go 2017 a4 I think a stage 2 Apr or uni tune will bring it up to 335xi power

Sure. And make it 10x less reliable.

I like Audi but I couldn't consider A4 a reasonable option here.

Tlx.

Ugly interior on the ones that would fit my budget

TLX A-spec AWD?

A Little higher on the KMs, but 2018+ is the refresh year. Should be right at the budget.

You are missing the critical requirement, OP wants an A4.

He just wants the internet to tell him it’s a good idea when it’s not.

A4 is actually last on my list. I was leaning towards the 335xi in a low km. I'll go tomorrow to test drive the Tlx... Wondering if Q50 would be an option too

I love how 2018+ TLX's look however that 9 speed is one terrible transmission. Should've had the 8 speed DCT (or 6 speed manual ) They're also quite overpriced still imo.

Yeah. They're expensive compared to prior

Lots of Audi hate it seems, but I've experienced the opposite. I have one of the last year's of a manual A4 (s-line sport), and I really enjoy it. The quattro system (I bought it specifically for winter) has performed excellent, and all of the maintenance or upgrades I've done to it have been actually quite simple to work on. Granted it's a pretty slow car, even after some work, but I've got it up to about 40 mpg on the highway. It rides nice on the highways and the interior is probably one of my favorites that I've been in. Plus something about VW products and their sport steering wheels always seem to do it for me.

Audi age is less important than mileage.

I just sold my Q5 after 11 years of ownership. Aside from replacing the AGM battery at 9 years, I didn't have a single issue. No broken buttons, no glitches or electronic bugs, no broken clips or plastic. Still felt solid and like new.

With that said it had 76K on the ODO.

I wouldn't own an Audi with over about 125K on the ODO. A BMW would be better, but not by much.

I can echo this, had a q5 from 75,000 kms - 115,000 kms and it was great.

Right at the end when I was selling.. things started to go. Headlight sensor issues, hatch electric issues, and I sold it and dodged the big 125,000 km timing chain adjustment or w/e it is.

Crazy that's considered high mileage/money pit kms for non sport model Audis. I would've anticipated 180,000 km + at least.

I consider anything over 60K km's "high mileage" when it comes to German cars

This is a great thread, you can get shit on for calling German cars reliable and for calling then unreliable.
