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
:mad:

That's funny bro....
My buddy just bought one so I hope he doesn't have any prob's w/it. I know folks who've bought VW's and have had nothing but problems. A buddy of mine bought a VW beetle and w/in 3 months...was taken in like 4 times dues to overheating and what not. They turned it in for a Beetle Turbo (one month ago) and it's in the shop now needing:
new whindshield
new back seat
new...everything...(just kidding...sort of)

Even though I'm not a fan of BMW, you guys have to admit AUDIs are shit; BMWs are simply better. Just look at the message board. There are so many complaints about problems, from electrical to mechanical. Look at other message boards and the messages are generally positive. After the warranty, a $40,000 Audi sells for $10,000 or less. That's shameful.
