erm excuse me?? Audi gay?? Don't u know I like audis

arrggh SG

Need some advise here. After test-driving both cars, I like both cars very much, but given very limited budget, and garage space, I can only get either of them. Which of them do you guys think I should buy and why?

Correction. I mean the new BMW 320 and not the old 318

test drove both cars before leaving for canada. just tried the new vw jetta (bora in sg) cos i was thinking of getting one. I kinda like the vw better. just hate the chris bangle bimmers.

arrggh SG

No VW for me. Can't stand their designs, especially the Passat. So which of the 2 cars would you go for if you were me?

pqr SG

i have a friend who told me that audi is inferior to BMW...that why he chose BMW over audi

this friend test drive many cars b4 and is quite well knowledge in cars so i take it as his opinion has some weight

318 made in South Africa, A4 made in Germany.

Have not try the 318 yet, but i prefers the A4 exterior and interior look and space. 10-speaker Sound system is pretty good too.

I tot the previous BMW3 look nicer than current.

If you are talking about quality, there’s no way the Beemer can beat the Audi. If you are talking about handling, the 318 is definitely better. If I were you, I will take a good hard look at the Volvo S40 T5. Best compromise of both.

don't forget the saab 9-3 too. it's such a beauty ! but given a choice between those two cars, audi for me !

Suv noob SG

i dont think u can get a new 318 the base model is now the 320 anyway to answer your question i would choose the 320 over the A4 2.0 anytime but since you’ve got the money why not opt to look at the A4 1.8T now thats a car after my heart the 325 is pretty gd too but its a bit on the high side at 170k

BMW 318 meaning.. second hand?

Because for 3 series, PML sells the 320iA.

I think in terms of performance, reliability, go for the BMW.

nightsky87 SG

Oh yah, anyone know the price for a 320iA?

arrggh SG

Sorry. What I really mean is the 320.

arrggh SG

I was told that the 320 interior is made of real leather while that of the A4 is made of syn leather. Is that true?

arrggh SG

Hi, what's your reason for choosing the 320 over the A4?

arrggh SG

I thought of the S40 too but couldn't convince myself to have a 2nd look at the dashboard. But heard that Volvo has the toughest cars

arrggh SG

Saab has a very confusing dashboard. Also, I heard that Saab builds lousy cars although they are plane engines makers.

Please tell me why do you choose the Audi?

ben1406 SG

confusing dashboard ? explain.. i drove a saab back in sg and i never had problems with the car. i love my sabbie!

why audi ? cos i don't like the chris bangle bimmers.. given other options, i wouldn't even get either.

borgkilla SG

ya just gotta love a BMW

nightsky87 SG

Yep. Volvo cars are good. I heard the 80 is simply fantastic.

tiggersgd SG

i'll go for the new A4. reason being i like it more than the new BMW 3 series.

but if u take A4 n BMW 5 series....i'll take the 5 series anytime. that's another thing altogether.

nothing beats personal preferrence.

arrggh SG

Hey! no offence. I haven't sat in a 93 before but from the pictures that I gathered from the web, there are far too many buttons. Also, I've got an issue with the nobe on the air-con vent. Looks flimsy and cheap to me.

Btw, I heard that the new Saab 9-3 1.9TiD runs on diesel. Is that true. If that's the case, getting this car will save me lots of gas money.
