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 ... :)

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

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.

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!

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.

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,

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...
