. . .elsewhere (Europe) does well. Often Audi outsells BMW in the homeland. The German cars, depending on who you talk to, all have less than steller reps -- except for their reputations reported "from behind the wheel." My wife has a BMW, her second, I have an Audi, "our" 28th, we have also had 2 Passats and a Jetta, too. Under a variety of circumstances, I would have no problem owning (or leasing) cars from Audi, BMW and VW -- and probably no issues with Mercedes either. On the other hand, I "almost" leased an Infiniti M35x last time, and I do believe I would have also enjoyed that experience. Sometimes I think people are trying to find reasons to talk themselves INTO or OUT OF certain decisions. I could repeat, #29, as an Audi, next time. I wouldn't hesitate. I will not pay more for an A6 Audi (substantially more) than a BMW 535xi or an Infiniti M35x. I would almost certainly be delighted with ANY of them. |

Replying to: reality2 (Jun 14, 2007 7:09 pm) Well, I certainly agree, in terms of the cars the companies build. My only intent in using the two names anywhere in the same proximity was to try (appparently unsuccessfully) to point out that both suffer from perceptions that have very little to do with fact. Audi is every bit as reliable as any other European brand and within spitting distance of any brand, if we are to believe what we read here. Hyundai does in fact have some pretty impressive build quality & early-ownership reliability data, with only two brands better in one of those categories (can't remember which). Your post certainly illustrates that emotion can run high where cars and brands are involved. Some of that emotion (in others) is why many people wouldn't be caught dead in either an Audi or a Hyundai. To them, Audis will always be unreliable death traps with runaway acceleration & Hyundais will always be rust-ridden trouble-prone cheap crap from Korea. For many of the rest of us, not so much.
