Any Audi/VW enthusiasts here?

[redsubdivisions]

I know this is a BMW site and I am probably going to get scrutinized for mentioning the 4-letter word, but who else here has an Audi/VW? I started working at an Audi dealer and lately, I have been really surprised as to what Audi offers compared to our roundel badged cars.

Not to mention I am able to get you a hook up on parts! :pimp:

Spill the beans. What specifically?

Congrats on the job. If you worked for BMW or Mercedes you would say the same thing. :)

i work at an aftermarket supplier that predominantly deals with VW/Audi. i drive a mk5 gli. parents have had vw's and audi's for years.


i will never buy a VW/Audi product ever again.

I had an 01 jetta for a while. Was nice enough for 250,000 miles on it. By that point the 1.8t in it was just coking the oil as fast as I could change it but I held on to it until my e30 was ready. Before that, had a B6 Passat wagon that left me on the side of the road with a fragged auto trans. So my experience has been mixed.

I've never owned a VW but for some reason this post made my day.

Ive got a 2011 touareg and I love it.

Had a mkIII vr6.. expensive and unreliable but the sound seriously was oh so orgasmic.

I DD an APR tuned mkIV golf 1.8t. Does what I need it to for the most part, is decent on gas, and reasonably fun to drive. I wouldn't consider myself an enthusiast per se, but do appreciate the cars. And the quattro history is pretty cool.

That is where I started, 87 4000 csq then onto a 91 90 20vq and after that a 337 with a bunch of bolt ons. Thinking of getting back into Audi with an A4 Avant as the kid hauler.

I had an '83 Rabbit GTI way, way back. Amazing car.

Audis, however, are a bit like valium.

I've owned a'73 Super Beetle, '66 Beetle, 2 '83 gti's, one '84 gti, an 01.5 S4, and a 92 100cs wagon. So yeah, I'd say I'm a VW/Audi guy I guess...

I definitely appreciate the quattro history for sure. I am not a huge fan of FWD cars, but it seems that Audi's AWD system is above most of the competition because of its proactive system (as opposed to reactive).

I work on Audis and VWs all day long .

While Audis drive nice, and are very fast. Fuck the entire engineering department. They can all go drown in a bucket of rusty dicks . I will never own an Audi .

There are - few acceptable VWs. I would consider a new GTI because their really nice and not bad at all to work on . One with an APR tune is a shot ton of fun . That's about it .

Would rather own a BMW all day long

76 b1 passat (dasher) wagon, 63 bug, 95 mk3 jetta, 79 mk1 rabbit, 92 mk2 jetta gli, 99 mk3 jetta vr, 92 mk2 jetta gli, 04 mk4 jetta wagon, 11 mk6 gti... I love vw's and chances are I will build another mk3. I still have the wagon, and I loved the mk6 gti, but I enjoy driving the e30 more than any car I've ever owned.
