panasol Posted February 19, 2013 Report Posted February 19, 2013 It's the forth year with my red Audi TT MK II... Unfortunately , I might have to sell it before summer....(starting family etc..) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
asciwhite Posted February 19, 2013 Report Posted February 19, 2013 I still drive my "blueberry" lemon Skoda...... Looking at getting something else though.. Something like this would be cool
onelow64 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Posted February 19, 2013 I've got a pair of babies that fill my garage. First is my trailer queen matching numbers 1964 Impala SS. Second is my "Sunday" car a 2011 Chrysler 300C. My daily driver is a beater in the form of a D21 Nissan.
tomhorn Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 I have a family now so its time for the 4 door family cruiser. Once my son is old enough to get himself into the backseat I will go back to a coupe. Thinking Audi S5 or BMW 335XI or Mercedes C350 maybe? I will say that this car has totally changed my perspective on Hyundai...this has been a GREAT car and was really innexpensive with a nice warranty. Im a total convert. Go with the Audi ...
seriph Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 We traded the wife's beetle on a Hyundai IX35. It may be called by other names in different markets but I gave to say that as far as creature comforts, value and peace of mind, the thing is brilliant. I am traditionally porsche or MB so this was a huge departure and I and the wife are absolutely loving it
seriph Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 Oh and the best car I have ever owned was a white audi A4 Motorsport, built by Porsche Cars Australia. Bilsteen coil overs. Serious swaybars. Brembo 6 pots. BBS 19's, a great body kit and of course every factory accessory. It wasn't an 'S' or 'RS' but it was stunning. When my PC is working again I will post a couple of pics.
rek001 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 OK, so, truthfully -used Audis are reliable? May I ask, are they expensive to maintain and fix?
SCM Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 OK, so, truthfully -used Audis are reliable? May I ask, are they expensive to maintain and fix? Ive been told by more than one person to never buy an audi. That being said...I certainly havent ruled out the A5. I would just do a lot of research before putting down the money. Most review sites put the A5 at average reliability, so not great and certainly not bad. Wish they would carry a better warranty....4 years, 50K miles is not impressive compared to some....if this were a honda accord then it wouldnt even need a warranty!
tomhorn Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 Mine has been great through 40k miles. Apart from a bent wheel replacement (which was my fault) I have just done oil changes every 5k and the factory maintenance. Couldn't be happier with the car ...

Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 @asci I can realy see you in that one mate!!! Here is what i drive and i like it!!! Much car for the money And the bmw i drive in the summer, and this summer i will race with it on court that is if i have the money over!
Jkay Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 Buying a used luxury car ... is a mixed bag. Yes you get a $100,000 car for $30,000 .. but the factory makes it's money from you on the back end, in huge charges for parts. If you feel good about turning a wrench, then YES it's a good idea. If you are going to rely on the dealership for service then prepare to be mega raped.
whoever Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 Thanks whoever! It took me 6 years and lots of blood sweat and tears to get it done. Would love to get a ride! I cab only imagine how proud you are! I think I would cry too.....every time I'd drive it.....just out of joy!
redwatch Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 Finally upgraded my car last September to this:
hambone Posted February 21, 2013 Report Posted February 21, 2013 That Bentley is quite a fine automobile. I personally love the lines of the 60's decade RR. Here is a fine example I would love to have. Presently, I am speaking with the owner about an art trade for this 1966 first production year of the Corniche model,

seriph Posted March 11, 2013 Report Posted March 11, 2013 Audi trumps BMW for me each time. I have always preferred Porsches and Audis over beema's
seriph Posted March 11, 2013 Report Posted March 11, 2013 And of course, depending where you live, you could possibly get a 911 for a reasonable outlay
dropbear2008 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Posted March 11, 2013 Audi trumps BMW for me each time. I have always preferred Porsches and Audis over beema's BMW is more of a drivers car. Audi seems to have become the go-to car for BMW drivers who can't drive. Thinks have improved a lot in recent years as they don't have to make do with the horrible VW platforms anymore, but still not quite there yet. I used to work for Audi (corporate) and drove pretty much everything what had wheels and 4 rings. One exception though, I had the pleasure of driving a pre-production S8 with Lambo engine which was tuned up instead of down...
