My daughter wants an Audi A4

You know where I am at on this, still thinking I will get mine the new BMW 1 series.

I have the A8, great choice for her. The convertible A4 is nice too but that is up to you. She has good taste.

your girl needs to get a job not Audi.

I'm not sure about the A4 but I have driven an older model S4 (2000 - or2001) with the squential twin turbos. Now that car was a real treat to drive, it had power in every gear no matter how low the rpm's were and the handling was impecable. Drove it up to Whistler and even in the snow it was difficult to kick out the rear end.

I have owned 4 BMW's and still have one (old school e30 325 with lots of performance mods) I will probably never sell that car, I have had it for nearly 20 years and has always been really solid and reliable. It has taken a beating over the years and still runs great although I havn't driven it in a few years. It needs a paint job and a few other minor repairs. I will most likely do a full restoration on it and add a few more performance mods in the near future.

The only reason that I havn't been driving it is that I have a Jeep that I have as my daily driver now that is more suited for my needs at the moment. I don't really do all that much driving anymore and I couldn't justify having both vehicles insured when I would only drive the beemer a few times a month. Plus I couldn't really take the dog in the beemer as I would be constantly worrying that he would damage the leather or something else and he would get fur over everything. I don't have to worry about that sort of thing in the Jeep I don't even have carpets in it so when it gets dirty I can just hose it out, pull the drain plugs out of the floor and viola good as new ;)

My personal prefrence would be the BMW over the Audi, and from reading some of the responses in this thread the BEEMER would be the car to go with, but it seems that your daughter is really set on the Audi. I guess you will have to do a little more research to make sure you don't end up buying her a headache indtead of a good reliable vehicle.

I was actually looking at one for Tia, the 3 is getting a little long in the tooth (over 120,000km now) and I actually like the look of the 1. Can't find it up here yet though

Heh Rip that's why we get along, same taste in cars.

It's not out yet, after the first of the year.

The a5 comes out soon right? I heard the s5 is killer.

1 series link,

Glad to hear it. That site is a little piece of history on the web for me, it wouldn't feel right being run by some other shmuck.



Okay that may not have come out right... :D

no offence but thats kinda stupid

you really have to teach your kids the value of money

when you earn your money, you appreciate it
if you receive everything you want, you get spoiled (in 99% of cases)

the first car can be as well a used car, no need for a new one, neither a luxury one

well but if you're really a multi-millionaire and so are your friends and everyone in your neighborhood, then perhaps different rules apply

lmao, but the RS4 is like double the price of the BMW. The RS4 can only JUST beat the M3 in a drag race, but the M3 is faster round the track. (They done a test on top gear, each of the presenters had a grudge on which car was better). I'd rather buy the M3 and save a chunk of change, I still love the RS4 though .

For me it's piece of mind, my daughter will need to drive back form her moms house to mine (2 hour drive), at 16 she will be going to High school 4 hours a day then to college split shift.

I want her in a car with all the right safety features, navigation, panic buttons and so on.

For a 350.00 lease a month that is worth it to keep her safe.

you are kinda stupid

damn thats hard to believe a rwd car out handled the awd. I would like to see that Top Gear show.
