Replying to: sjaieve (Apr 20, 2008 4:42 pm) I wouldn't mind driving one for a few days as a comparison; but, as I said the G and the A4 have more differences than similarites. No, I can't compare an A4 with a 335i. Then again, I can't get a 335i for $30 out the door. Maybe I will look at BMW again one day, but I am one that thinks the company needs a course correction in terms of styling and "technology". And BMW USA please bring us the 1-series hatchback!!!!

Replying to: rascal99 (Apr 21, 2008 6:13 am) Anyway, it is a nice car to own for long period. My co-worker bought a 350Z almost at the same time I bought my RX-8. Despite the rave review on 350Z everywhere, he said he want to change his car after couple months because the Z almost beat him to death everyday he drive to work. It is good on race track, though. |

Personally I chose the IS250 from this list although its the slowest, in any case there are all slow  G35, 335i & IS350 thats a whole different league there. (Did not choose IS350 cos no AWD & 335xi wth all the options I need would have cost me +10K than the G and the interior of the 335i sucks IMO.) If you want an A4 & G comparison, I have given you what the established voices have said, you have given me nothing other than your perception of the "lack of refinement" of the G, notice I have not given you my perception of the A4. I was trying to make it difficult for you to continue with the refinement path especially given those 15+ accolades.

Replying to: rascal99 (Apr 21, 2008 6:13 am) The segment is going to be interesting though, the 335i is going to receive a facelift (and hopefully a more exciting interior), the C350 is getting a new 300hp engine, the G sedan may be getting the 330hp engine (hopefully with better torque that the 270 they have right now). And Audi is coming in with about 260 hp for 09

Replying to: sjaieve (Apr 21, 2008 7:55 am) You are right that those two cars are not meant for head to head. That said - If I want to drive a fun car everyday, I will go with A4, Bimmer or RX-8. If I want a car to race on the street, I will go with 335i and get a stick shift. G is just not doing best in either side. But it is a good deal, when you think about its price.

Replying to: spi5 (Apr 21, 2008 8:55 am) I think you will enjoy this clip, it says a lot about Audi's quattro, its not in english though but the video tells the story http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAHPMUkhj5Q I agree the G is pretty affordable, when you do the maths you realize that althogh the 335i offers greater perfomance, the G is pretty close and I certainly was not going to pay 10k more for the 335xi, not worth it IMO. Those with the money will argue differently and its not for me to say what they can do with their wealth
