All the best Yo!

did you have any dealer where can offer a good price, like current 3 series, 320I can get at 190K (of course it is a pre-sales car about 1500KM done, 1 month car) plus free 3 years maintenances.

Green Light!

How can you compare a Honda Civic to an Audi A4? Their price range is so far apart…

Oh btw, am I alone in thinking the dials looks like it’s yanked from a honda civic… EG?!! Hello and welcome to yesterday Audi!

I went to help my dad pick up his yesterday… and since i use the current 2.0 civic i can safely say, if you have sat in the new A4 you would know the tech in this car is lightyears away from anything honda has atm. for starters it has a sensor that dims the rear mirror when jackasses highbeam their hid lights in your face… you wont get a glare… the car auto syncs to your mobile phone, the cars wipers can start wiping as soon as rain hits your wind shields, it does not carry a key (nothing new there), its customization of settings you can set to your car is just insane… right up to acoustics and lamp light brightness settings…

To be honest its biggest weak point to me is the amount of sensors and gadgets… in our tropical weather i have this feeling that car will be in the workshop every 6 months….

1) Styling interior and exterior is superb. Luxurious, elegant yet sporty. The curve LED lights definitely a head turner.

2) The 3 driving options – comfort, dynamic & auto – are quite good especially if you want the car to adept to city or long distance driving. Pushing the dynamic button gives you the sporty feeling – you can feel the difference in its power. This 1.8 cc can easily beat some of Japanese 2.5 cc.

3) Eventhough it is a driver’s car, the rear seats area is a tad bigger than BMW 3 series. Even for a 6 footer – no problemo. 2 adults and a kid at the back is ok. To put more adult, you need to buy a bus!!!

If you want style, comfort yet sporty and an exciting driving experience without the ‘posh’ stigma usually associated with Beemer and Merc, then this would be the right car. (And it is less than RM 250K)

BTW, I’m booking a black one in a couple of days. Yee Har !!! Vosprung Durch Tecknik (Is the spelling right?)[/quote]

Getting one with the Bang&Olufsen sound system?

1. It uses a timing chain!!!

2. 8 speed gearbox with paddle shift, just like the F1, with Tiptronic too….

3. Saves fuel, highway at 5.5 litres/100km, City driving at 9.9 litres/100km. I was hitting 120km/h and the rpm at 8th gear was 1800 rpm. It could be true..

4. The Comfort, Auto and Dynamic mode is fantastic. Dynamic mode feels like a beast, the steering, throttle, and suspension hardens and responses better and the rpm is higher, like the sports mode. When I press Comfort, it feels like everything goes soft and relaxed (just like after making love) and AUTO is in between.

5. The multimedia computer is so interactive with sensors everywhere to tell you the distance between objects and the car. I really love the bluetooth built in phone in the car.

So, no choice but I booked 1 unit…

The Merc C class and BMW really lost out this time….[/quote]

You bought the S-line?

taking after sales service and depreciation into account.

After seeing some of the sample car color, I decided to change the color from Dakar Beige to White. It look so awesome with White color. Unfortunately, as a consequences, I will only get the car sometime in Sep/Oct. Sigh

Anyone with experience with White color car? Is it hard to maintain in terms of cleanliness?

A two year old second hand BMW 7 Series will have RM400,000 written off. Is that good or bad ??

A four year old Audi A4 B6 still fetches around RM130,000; for me that’s rather good value.

A 1988 Merc E Class still goes around RM30-RM40,000; very good as well.

A 4 year old Toyota Vios also sheds off around 50% of it’s initial value. Is that good value?

Do some check on individual car models, Jap cars no longer hold their value as good as the old times.

Also, like ingolstadt said, Audi can easily adapt Quattro in it without any hassle

Kudos Audi!!

I think the advantages of having the engine mounted longitudinally are;

1. better weight distribution- part of the engine and whole gearbox will be behind the front axle

2. if the gearbox is mounted longitudinally behind the engine, then the driveshafts exiting from the box will be of equal length. This will help eliminates torque steer, especially in a force induced car.

And yes, no much Audi owners sells their Audi especially from the B6 onwards. Simple reason, sell and buy which model that could come close to it in comparison with quality build and responds? None.
Perhaps upgrading to the new A4, ha..yes. Likely.

Drop in resale value? Which conti car doesn’t , especially with our msian mentality.

As for engine bhp etc., wise, its a matter of how fast could you reach from A to B.
Audi owners like to be at their destination on time. Not tomorrow or day after. They could do that flying.

well, to understand the car, test drive it. Especially this weekend. They are having a dynamic test drive session…
cheers.
