When it comes to design, Audi has always been ahead of everyone. Love the look of the As and Ss not to mention the R8. Audi was first with the daytime running lights...Now almost every car company does the circular running lights...Audi now changed it to the strip running lights. The only Audi car I don't like are the TTs. Looks like a sports car but slow as f***.
Audi is great....been driving an A4 for almost a year now and the best part of my day is when Im driving. I enjoy it very much. Will be looking for an "S" series when my lease run out. Maybe the S6 or S7. And then when I hit 50...I'll be looking at the A8s. :grin:
I've had my S5 for about a year and a half now, and I've loved every single day of owning it. Driving is literally a joy.
I like the designs of Audi's a lot except the cars seem small to me for some reason. Coupled with the fact my uncle owns a car shop and he said out of all the German cars he gets (benz, BMW, Audi), Audi seems to break down the most. Another uncle of mine had a TT 4-5 years ago and it always seemed to be in the shop too.
How's the reliability on them? I'm gonna be in the market for a new car soon. My 2007 335i has over 110k miles. It's been pretty solid for the most part.
They dont have a very good track record which is why I have stayed away from them even though I like their designs. Leasing one would be the better option.
My sister's A4 couple drop top is hella sweet. Smooth ride, great pickup, and very luxurious. The only knock is the size, absolutely no leg room or trunk space. But she's single and has no kids so it works for her.
Im not an expert with Audi's by any means. They are comfortable to ride in. Other than Audi having a bigger rep than BMW being in the shop often is why I'll never consider owning one.
I used to own an A4 - biggest POS ever. Bought it brand new in 2003 - since then the folks at Roger Beasley Audi in Austin got to know me pretty well. - interior dashboard buttons peeled off within 10k miles from Texas heat (warranty) - power seat motor out twice (warranty) - replaced the transmission control module at 45k miles (warranty) - coil pack burned out at 60k - transmission died at 70k miles ($5k to replace) - fractured control arms at 75k - and many random engine oil leaks Finally got rid of it in '09 for a 3-series. Much happier with the BMW - it's been trouble free.
enjoy your audi's for the first three years...total crapshoot after that as to whether or not it falls apart
