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
I should have bought for $ 10K less the Passat, which has very good reviews !!!!

Seeing as Volkswagen has owned Audi for a very long time...well, sometimes people stick with the same companies, or brands of cars...they kinda go hand in hand...

What year is it exactly?
you do realize that the first year of a new style usually has a lot of bugs that are fixed by the second or third year right?
