Thumbs up Buy Passat instead of Audi

I sold my beloved GTi 1.8T in January and decided to buy a luxury sedan.
I checked the BMW 330i, Volvo S40 T4 and the Audi A4

Here in Guatemala you don't see too many A4's, so I decided to buy it.

After only 6 months of owning the car, I've had these problems:

- 1 month: seatbelt at the was loose and making a lot of noise
- 2 months: front left engine of seat broken
- 3 months: front left speaker broken
- 4 months: front right engine of seat broken, too
- 6 months: front left window making a lot of noise - maybe also going to fail !

Audi is doing as much as they can to be at the same level of MB and BMW, but they are years of light behind.

All these parts are going to be replaced under warranty, but I really tell you this:

DON'T BUY AN AUDI -- THEY STILL HAVE A LOT OF SERIOUS QUALITY ISSUES TO SOLVE

THE CAR IS CRAP; don't be a fool like myself and invest well your hard earned money.

I hope I do not offend anyone, but Audi is really crap


The Passat is here aprox. $ 10K cheaper and has excellent customer reviews

sooooo....shouldn't it just be in the Audi forum for people that go in the Audi forum to get info on Audi's that way u could discourage anyone seeking advise or help on buying Audi by ur personal experience

I agree, I have a 2002 A4 and have had soooo many problems. The engine overheated in the 2nd week I got it. I wish I would've gotten a Passat instead. Luckily, I have a 4 year warranty! But, I think you should've posted this on the Audi forum.
