Audi cars - Any problem?
-
Hi
Just wondering if there is anything wrong with the Audi cars especially the A4? There seemed to be so many people selling it with less than a year into service.

perhaps they are selling it now to get the new A4 sports package with a 1.8T engine. or getting ready to buy the new facelifted A4.

Its an inconvenience when you lose the key.
My friend said one. -
every car is like this -_- at least within the audi segment (bmw, merc, jaguar..)Originally posted by LyonK:Its an inconvenience when you lose the key.

anyway inconvenience is a very vague word.. ask ur friend what "inconvenience" specifically -
He say like very hard to duplicate the key, need special machine, etc as once he lost his key at the golf course and scared to bring his car back there again.Originally posted by Tayysj:every car is like this -_- at least within the audi segment (bmw, merc, jaguar..)

His family are audi dealers in thailand, so I guess he knows what he is talking about. -

u cant dupe the key...you have to make a entirely new one....for BMW's u have to order it directly from germany with documents to prove.....Originally posted by LyonK:He say like very hard to duplicate the key, need special machine, etc as once he lost his key at the golf course and scared to bring his car back there again.

Wait for the A5

Yes, you're friend knows what he's talking about, but the 'inconvenience' he mentioned about losing the keys of his Audi is what will happen to other conti car owners..Most continental cars' keys can't be duplicated outside..You have to ask the company itself to get a replacement for you..Originally posted by LyonK:He say like very hard to duplicate the key, need special machine, etc as once he lost his key at the golf course and scared to bring his car back there again.

One thing about Audi..they are very stingy with standard equipment compared to like, say BMW and Merc..

hell, the new A4 is coming anytime tooOriginally posted by freakass:Wait for the A5 -
Thank you for the info. So really there is no major problem with the Audi's then. The issues which was brought up does not seemed major enough for some to sell off their car within a year.

hmm this has many perspective.. for example u buy a house u can choose a front gate that u press one button it will open le no matter who press also can.Originally posted by LyonK:He say like very hard to duplicate the key, need special machine, etc as once he lost his key at the golf course and scared to bring his car back there again.

or u can choose one that u haf to put your fingerprint, enter a password, scan your eyeball, slot in a card, turn a key, and say a voice command in your own voice then the gate will open.
some people will prefer the higher security but more ma fan way, whereas someone else may just prefer a simple to open solution.
but i trust that most car owners love their cars and will choose the more secure option. the key cannot be duplicated as it was designed to be this way as a security feature. it's the owner's responsibility not to lose it in the first place ma =) -
I love audi...

I drive an A6. So far, the car has been nothing but a dream to drive. And they DO give you another spare key in case you lose your current one. The next step is a simple case of retuning your spare key and car's signal.

the biggest problem i can think of is high depreciation.
it's after all not as popular as merc or bmw. -

Ahh the A8.. Possibly one of the most, if not the most, elegant car in the world. Mr Chris Bangle should really learn from the Audi designers (no offense to BMW fans or owners). personally i love Audi's exterior design, but the interior tends to be less imaginative and even sterile. Typical German, i guess...Originally posted by sir_peanuts:sigh i know. i always liked the A8 more than Merc S or BMW 7. but thery are really rare on singapore streets
