Audis suck!
 
They are Volkswagons for everyone who isn't an 18 year old girl.

TT 01-16-2004 10:39 AM

BTW.. it's Audis, not Audi's..

And IMO Audi is a great manufacturer and don't understand what you try to tell us.

pimrusis 01-16-2004 10:45 AM

I don't know either, you should delete this thread. Cause I'm dumb.

initiala4 01-16-2004 11:36 AM

How come they suck? I owned an Audi...

jon_s 01-16-2004 12:05 PM

lol, wtf, you on drugs hehe

let me see,

S3, S4, RS4, S6, RS6, S8

A3 1.8T, blah blah blah TT.....they make damn good cars!

stradale 01-16-2004 12:09 PM

Don't forget the Ur-quattro!

Audi builds fine cars indeed...

BACR 01-16-2004 12:15 PM

ye the quattr started a new generation of cars! cant be forgotton

Chaos in 1983! 01-16-2004 12:27 PM

they are the ones responsable for AWD...and therefor they are resposable for what rally is to this date...

But the quality of the parts are not nearly as good as BMW or Benz. My aunt has a brand new A4 3.0L and stuff is always going weird with the sunroof and all the electronics, even new chips cannot replace the fault and this is not the only Audi ever to have that problem either. My dad used to have a big Audi, think A8 and everything was a problem on it, the driving was great but everything else sucks, especially the interior. We have a brand new 530i, just before the new style came out and this car is so sweet, nothing has gone wrong on it and it just performs flawlessly. Oh yeah and a friend of my brother has a new S4 and stuff is falling off of it left and right, I am pretty sure that he is going to trade it in for a M3 or a Carrera 2.

really? from my experience benz and bmw build quality and design aren't nearly as good as the new audi's.

Audi is fantastic car maker and I have no idea wtf you're trying to pull on us.

Yes true, they are responsible for AWD in performance cars, if it wasnt for Audi, it would be safe to predict that the Lancer Evos and Subuaru WRXs wouldnt exist.

They're built quality is top notch, 2nd only to BMW :wink:

Schwalbe 01-16-2004 09:26 PM

What's more to have innovated in Rally, currently Audi dominates several segments of the race automobile.

MPoweredKid 01-16-2004 10:26 PM

yes......audi makes damn great cars.

nameley the S4, and the RS4 (which we never got in the states :( )

dylan99 01-16-2004 10:34 PM

the new generation from the late nineties are very good cars the styling is much better and they are climbing the charts from now on. Think of the new A3, A8, RS6, S4, the A2 wasn't a success but you can't deny its design wether you think it's ugly or good looking.

RC45 01-16-2004 11:35 PM

I ahve always been an Audi fan - but everytime I see an A6 or A8 on the road, I can't help thinking they should have a less "bland and ordinary" look about them.

The TT look is nice, but the rest look too much like "worked over Passats" - Audi needs some nice aggressive designs again.

It's been proven that Bentz have the worst quality and reliability among German Luxo cars. maybe just in the States anyways.

Whatever, Audis make the most elegant German cars. All are beautiful...except A2 and A3 isn't beautiful, but rather cool. Besides, they make the most stylish wagons...the ones men would not be seen embarrassed in...and they are NOT called wagons, they are called Avants. also TT is a triumph of pure design.

and yes shame that RS versions were not available in US...shame

Guess what? Audi IS breaking out of its own design! Pike Pick was just ugly, but Nuvolari and LeMans concepts are breathtaking. Maybe the "shield grill" will work on Audis afterall...

PaulGT2164 01-17-2004 01:03 AM

i have alot of experience with audis, particulary the TT and the S4 and i had never had any problems outta either of them, and both were by no means babied, they were thrashed and modded constantly, i think they are about the best cars you can by build wise...

snacky 01-17-2004 01:09 AM

like I said before, an audi is an expensive VW, just like a lincoln/mercury is an expensive FORD. check it, VW owns audi and they share parts/engines/chassis. The S4 is basically a V8 Jetta with different sheet metal. most audis I see in LA are driven by women or sorta effeminate guys. but most are sorta ho-hum boring sorta cars, not the S4. I would buy an S4 if I lived in snow country and needed a middle management status symbol. or maybe I'd get a WRX STI or Evo8.

WRX STI or Evo8.
If i was riding one of these i'd get stamped as a rice-rocket-boy (cause i live in southern california...too, and it's fiiled with rice boy cars) that doesnt mean that i want to drive a VW...maybe Passat when im in 30s...and no Audis until im in mid 30s...even S4, RS6 and such...not even TT...

V8 Jetta
??? you mean V8 Passat...jeez...

I do have tremendous respect for Volkswagen AG and all of its subsidiaries...except for Lamborghini, who has lost my respect after creation of dreadful MurciƩlago...Diablo rules!!!

AlienDB7 01-17-2004 02:04 AM

If you say Audi suck cause they're VW's, then most luxury brands sucks...

Ferrari and maserati suck cause they're fiat's
Lambo and bentley suck cause they're VW too
Mercedes suck cause they're chrysler
Aston/jag suck cause they're ford

Even ford can come up with something cool, like the ford GT. It's all about marketing... try telling all the lexus/acura/infiniti owners they're driving a toyota/honda/nissan :mrgreen:

novass 01-17-2004 02:33 AM

i have a 2001 A4 with a 1.8T and Quattro and so far not a single thing has gone wrong with it. i love Audis. IMO they are great cars
