    Facelift Hard ride

    I'm running 18 inch wheels on a B9 S-Line saloon with the Comfort suspension rather than the sports suspension. Ride height is higher but the ride/handling compromise is pretty good. Handles well enough and the ride is pretty good.

    1.4 vs 2.0 TFSI diference

    I think you can live without the virtual cockpit. I don't have it on my s-line but you still have a colour panel between the speedo and the rev-counter that you can flip to different functions, including displaying the sat-nav.

    1.4 vs 2.0 TFSI diference

    I'm averaging 40mpg on my 1.4 67 plate A4 saloon, with a mixture of country roads and motorway and some urban driving. I've been quite impressed with its performance, particularly on the motorway, and it's rare, even overtaking, that I've felt I've needed more performance. It has roughly the...

    Some basic questions - moving from an A3

    My non-tech pack S-Line has a slot for an SD-Card onto which I put my music, not a juke box hard drive. It works great. It also has an arm-rest USB slot for charging a phone and teeing up Apple Car Play or Android Auto. My online traffic has expired but I haven't bothered to renew it as I use...

    Android Auto

    Android Auto makes some of the features in the MMI system redundant. You don't need to worry about sat nav updates, for example, if you use google maps navigation on your phone. I pretty much use Android Auto exclusively to handle my navigation, phone calls, music and suchlike.

    2.0 tfsi a viable replacement?

    I've been getting 40 mpg from my 1.4 manual on a mixture of country B roads, town and motorway. The 1.4's not slow and has more than enough oompth to deal with modern driving conditions. It's as fast as my first VW Golf GTI Mk 1, which back in the early eighties we all thought of as amazingly...

    I knew I couldn’t stay away for long

    You've got a great deal. Congratulations. My current leased car is identical to your future car, except for being in Brilliant Black rather than Ibis White. I'll be interested in hearing what you think of the 1.4(or 1.5) engine after driving the 2 litre petrol.

    Your Next Car?

    You can sometimes get the leasing company to reduce the mileage and the monthly charge in the middle of the lease if you now anticipate lower mileage.

    Audi A4 B9 facelift expected for 2019

    I suspect another issue with lower than expected sales for the A4 is the general decline of the saloon car segment. Buyers are increasingly shifting to cross-overs and 4wds. Jaguar, for example, is making more headway with the E-Pace and F-Pace than the XE. Good news for us, though, in...

    1.4 60mpg :-)

    I've averaged about 40mpg over 2,000 miles. Mixture of country A & B roads and motorway and a little town.

    Black Edition 1.4 TFSI or 2.0 TFSI

    I've run an Audi A4 1.4 for about 1,500 miles and have averaged about 40mpg according to the trip computer in driving mostly on motorways and country rides. Compared to my previous ride, a 2006 BMW 325i petrol coupe, I've been pleasantly surprised with my performance. It's not as fast as the...

    Change of heart........

    One of the reasons I went for the optional 'comfort dynamic' suspension on my car was the state of my local roads. Even with 18'' tyres I'm very happy with the ride comfort. Interesting also what you say about quality, Holly35. Objectively it's excellent but the car doesn't have that carved...

    Coding your B9

    Can't give you a specific list but I can recommend OBDELEVEN, which is a combination of a dongle you plug into your car OBD port and an app on your phone to run it. It offers a series of pre-canned changes such as needle sweep on start up plus the ability to make manual changes via changes to...

    Opinions regarding sport vs comfort dynamic suspension

    That makes complete sense and I hope you'll enjoy your new A4 when it arrives. I'm certainly enjoying mine and 'vive la difference' on the suspension choice as they say.

    Opinions regarding sport vs comfort dynamic suspension

    Actually I do understand your £325 comment now. I think it's just marketing. I don't believe it really costs Audi any more to install the Sports suspension instead of the standard suspension. More a ploy to encourage us up to the S-Line version. You might want to think about whether you...

    Opinions regarding sport vs comfort dynamic suspension

    I'll second what NeilHD says. I opted for Comfort Dynamic on my S-Line and am very happy with it. Not really bothered about the arch gap, it rides well and seems to handle well enough too. I don't have any experience of the passive Sports Suspension but some reviewers advised against it...

    Android auto issue

    I believe I tried it first with the electrics on and it didn't work and then I got it working by starting the engine, after which it sorted out the connection to the phone's android auto. The instructions do note, I believe, starting the engine first.

    Can I Start Car with myaudi Android App

    I was thinking about a situation where I'd lost my key or given it to my partner and wanted to use my phone to open the doors and start the engine while being in immediate proximity to the car.

    Android auto issue

    Perhaps. I'm sure you're already doing it but have you started the engine before you do any of this. That was one step I forgot to do initially.

    Android auto issue

    I think it's under Audi Smartphone Interface. Here's a good video to explain it:
