poxon 5,555 Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 I think audi build quality and reliability is good and they seem to hold there value reasonably well in comparison to other cars I’ve had a little s3 for about 8 possibly 9 years now and had no issues only service items 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But like you say, they feel that planted it's not hair raising, my arse has twitched more in an old Civic Type R, but then again that's always the case when you're a passenger. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A mate has owned a few different M5 over the years and reckons his 2020 M5 Compilation is the worst drivers car of them all, even with all the driver aids off it still feels like the car is driving itself, still manages to scare the fcuk outta me every time I'm in it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It just felt super stable and planted, loved the heavy steering as well, brilliant car. Never gave it any in the corners, just took it for a run on the motorway, I'd almost hit 160mph by the time I'd run down the slip road, rapid. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fast little cars alright, same lad had a M4 coupe a couple of years ago and that was a proper drivers car. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
