Audi is cool, but i would have a Golf GTI instead of any car of any brand, it doesn't matter if it's a Lamborghini, Ferrari... I love Volkswagen!

I have owned Audi and vw the last 30 years and you hit the nail on the head exactly . I feel at home in both but Audi is the one i choose .... People say parts cost more but my argument is i wont need parts... My old Audi 1988quattro broke a timing belt doing 110MPH and there was no other damage caused.. Not many car brands can say the same,,,even though it was my own fault for letting the belt change go way overdue... For me its Audi for car and VW for Van

Having owned VW, Audi and Porsche I think Audi is the sweet spot in the brands. The handling, quality and price just sits right for me. Porsche is just out of my price range to afford comfortably, I know I've tried. But none of them are bad products, especially the VW Golf, they're without doubt the best all round car ever made.

I bought a used 2012 2.5 L Jetta with 100k miles on it. It’s at 170k miles & it’s the best car I’ve ever experienced. Minor AC leak & pinpoint hole in the oil pan still not sure where it came from. Oil changes and brakes are all I’ve ever done. Even the battery was a factory battery & it went out after a couple years. Factory rotors too. Crazy durable! I might stick with VW, too scared to take the leap.

This is a great video, very insightful. I just bought a 2021 Tiguan SEL and I was not expecting the luxury-like feel. I was looking for a video like this to get a comparison. I know VW isnt a luxury brand. But to me, the SEL trim offers a lot of refinement.

Great video. I have also owned both and completely agree. I love both brands but they do have very distinct differences especially when you go higher up in the Audi Brand to an A8 or R8. Thanks for the words of wisdom.

Modern audis only starts to look different after A6

what about maintenance cost (official service centers) difference between VW and Audi ?

Is the maintenance cost comparable between Audi and VW? Or is there a luxury brand price tag associated with the Audi? Generally, being German automobiles in the United States, I’m sure the maintenance is more expensive for BOTH compared to domestic and Asian manufactured automobiles. Like your videos by the way, follow most of your Schwinn IC4 videos. Stumbled here because of that, don’t even have interest in an Audi or a VW. 😂

You haven't lived till you owned the cheapest German car, cheaper than Volkswagen, Opel.

I recently bout a 22 vw arteon sel after looking at Audi q3 and q5. Vw had more power, bigger boot, and a better ride.

To me it is kind of like comparing GM you can have exactly the same platform back in the day the Chevy Caprice the Cadillac the Oldsmobile and the Buick that is basically the same perspective as Volkswagen Porsche and Audi

Thanks for the informative video... I've currently got a tdi Jetta and when looking at replacing for a Golf GTI or an A4 I am finding a lot more reasonable priced Audi than GTI (here in Australia). Because the looks and features seemed a bit more upmarket and refined with the Audi (not to mention the awd option) I thought it was time to do a bit more digging for info.

Hey!! thanks for the video. I am new here in the car space and am looking to get one preferably with a manual transmission. Am stuck between VW jetta 1.5 Sport 6-speed manual 2023 ($24000/-) Vs Honda Civic hatch 6 speed manual 2023 ($30000) (price range mentioned is approximate) . VW badge with the price + manual is attractive for me and am planning to go with it. Also the trust of VW engineering on it built quality and no rattling noise even after decades of use is another factor that is pulling my VW way. Not use how Honda is in terms of its built quality and rattling noise issue, but I am sure about its reliability and re-sale value. Pls help me understand which one is a good driver's car? Does Honda civic hatch can give the driving pleasure of VW 1.5 Jetta manual version. Which one has less road noise. Considering resale value, which one is a sensible option to go with for its respective price tags. Sorry for a big question, but confident of a good guidance from here. Thank you.

Hi Kindly note when i bought the previous generation Audi A4 Multitronic automatic gear box which gave me so many problems only later did they introduce the DSG Direct shift gear box automatic Volkswagen is the way to go i have the VW T - Cross DSG what a car gears are so smooth which started in the famous Golf GTI I will never buy Audi again they are unreliable VW is even more value for money after all Volkswagen own Audi and a range of other cars you will get better back up!!!!!!!

i had VW Gold 6. 1.6 for years, now i m on Audi just what i expected..

What about service costs? How much more expensive would be an Audi?

To each their own but I strongly recommend Lexus. Toyota dealerships can service, use Toyota parts and much more affordable maintenance

Thank you very much. Very helpful!

For 0 to 60 you can get a boost set for few hundred dollars an you will have the same or better get up an go

The best Jetta is the GLI, the best VW in my book.

I had the Audi A4 for not even 2 years when the Multitronic gear box automatic gave me so many problems even Audi Dealers were pathetic thy had to order and import a new gearbox which took over two months i sold the Audi & bought the VW T - Cross in 2019 no problems with the best DSG direct shift automatic gear boxes according to the car experts i dont care about speed it is reliability that counts

I hate those modern cars to the core

But Volkswagen is so much more ugly that’s the issue

Total milquetoast video. A woman could've made it.

Doesn’t look like a A8….. looks like a 💩 er! Put some more water in your scotch 🍹. And air frye it.

I expect both VW and AUDI to disappear in 2023. Worthless cars Except that Phareon?, nice try VW.
