Kerny92 1,246 Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 I'll be ready for a new motor soon, never had one of the big German three and always fancied one. I'll be looking for a sporty looking estate so either a M Sport, S-Line or AMG. Which out of the three would you go for? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stavross 13,743 Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 I’ve had audi’s For years mainly a4’s and love them ( saying that I’ve got a vw at the min but it’s the same thing) the s line are a very nice spec, the wife drives a new s3 and that’s another level to the s line, the newer AMG’s are also very nice merc have moved away from the gray taxi plastic, as for the BMW I’ve had one and really didn’t like it, felt like driving something a long the lines of a mondeo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know the BMW's are the most bland interior wise. Which would you say is the most reliable? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stavross 13,743 Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 I would say the Audi is the better engine, ( I can only really comment on diesel because this is what I work on ) merc are also reliable but very expensive when they go wrong, merc make engines for merc where as Audi also includes vw, seat, Skoda so this tends to bring the price of parts down, as for the handling you won’t get better than Audi for 4 wheel drive, I took the wife’s car out a couple of weeks ago and had a bit of a play with an M4, the BMW is a much more powerful car but I left him for dead as he couldn’t cope with corners 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kerny92 1,246 Posted May 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Don't know if it's true but a bloke i worked with said the likes of Audi, Volkswagen have been having big problems with a cheap part going on them. I'll be looking for one about 5-8 year old. I must admit i think the Audi S-Line estate is the best looking of them all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stavross 13,743 Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 The only problem I know of is the emissions cheat but this was a program written into the ecu, there was a mass recall to remove this and in some models they changed the MAF I think, you can check this with Audi to see if it’s been done, it’s like buying any car at some point it will need a repair, the one thing to look out for with Audi is the front suspension, check for bush and ball joint wear, it’s a bit of a complicated set up and it isn’t cheap to replace parts 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Like you said an estate car usually trumps them for space. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
