95% of the people on this board have owned high mileage Audis that started with questionable reliability and plans for mods. Their opinions on reliability are useless IMO and use specific incidences to make broadly sweeping generalities. The hate comes from people that just owned piss poor Audis, or no audi at all :shrug:
I would have zero quams about buying a CPO’d A4 or S4 (or RS4 :boner:)
They are far better cars than their equivalent BMW counterpart IMO. I can’t stand BMW interiors, and I can’t think of anything being a bigger poser-mobile than a non-M (or non-335) BMW. (Josh doesn’t count). That said, that is all subjective, drive both and buy whatever you like.
I would much rather have a CPO’d Audi than a use Bimmer. Audi’s CPO program is consistently rated as the best in the business. If you want useful feedback, try and Audi board. :shrug:
Bashing VAG is about as trendy as wearing girls jeans around here.
