Ssssh... The audi bit is a bit crap...

[andy mac]

Since I have got the audi, I've been on the audi bit of ph... I have to say, it is a bit crap. Not in the way of information, but in personality. maybe they turn you teutonic after driving them for a certain period :eek:

[hustlebabe]

Personality..........got that but most of the S and RS drivers are on other dedicated forums. My current Audi is the road slogger with nooooooooo complaints (well none that i didn't get sorted and i nice refund from Audi)

[GTS Turbo]

if it's a TT then i always thought the TT stood for Total Tosser so they may just be living up to it

My sister had a TT... A lot better than I gave it credit for! Handling was great on it... It just looks a bit to much like a jelly mould for me!

A mate lent me his TT for a couple of weeks and it was much better than I thought it would be. It had been chipped up to about 280bhp so that probably helps

Ho ho ho - what's all this then?

I'd been considering a Legacy but...

Don't you lot worry that the interiors of your cars appear to have been fabricated by Airfix?

Nope. I worry that it's a bit dull, and then I nail the throttle and can forgive just about anything.

I've not found it a problem so far...

And what's this wheeling out a picture of a 1980-vintage Audi Quattro dash? Come on, play fair..

OK, seriously, my direct comparison was between a 1994 S4 and a 2005 Legacy. I don't know where Subarus sit on the "quality of Japanese interiors" scale but it didn't feel anywhere near as solid as the older car. Disappointing, because I'd be talking test-drives with them otherwise. Just an observation, horses for courses and all that.

I think (hope) that Subaru's are a little low on the list of quality japanese interiors. having driven a couple of mid-90's Audi's, scoobs certainly dont have that feel of having been hewn from a single lump of plastic that the Audi's have. Having said that, those that I drove felt like they had been hewn from a solid lump of cast iron as well so I guess you pays your money and you takes your choice.

Subarus and Audi's seem to have something in common to me in as much as if you take off the turbo (or take out the V8 in the case of some audis) and the four wheel drive, your left with...




...buying something else.

So true... good job they're nice things to have.

I like my audi interior.. Its nice and plush! Its not plasticky at all. Not a fast car, but nice and comfy and plush... I think thats where audi aim it, where as scoobies are aimed at rally nut types.. Not meant to be plush, merely to go like a missile.
