Currently driving an A4. Nice car, does everything I need. Works exactly as it should and I like how it's been put together. It's a bit
underpowered, but it really is a well made thing.
Been offered a MK3 Golf GTI 8 valve. In very nice condition. Not so well made inside as the Golf, but far torquier.
Can't really justify keeping both so would have to make a choice.
Pics enclosed of both cars - which one do I go for ?
Value of the A4 would pay for the Golf.
Audi at kames
scottish vag forum for you ma boy!
Keep the Audi... Mk3 Golfs are the worst!
I've had 2 A4's. Boring to drive, but very solid. I suppose you can justify the 4wd where I live because of the snow, but I don't use mine to it's potential, although I can slip and slide it around nicely on the ice. I would consider the VW a big step down though.
For what it's worth I say Audi, it looks much nicer.
Sell both and buy a Alfa

What engine and mileage?? I've had 2 Alfa's and they can be a right royal pain in the arse if they've not been looked after - that been said I would have another but wouldn't buy a new one.

Defo Alfa
Sell them both and buy a pre-2005 Seat Leon - m same build quality as the Audi and 180 BHP 20 valve Turbo engine
156 is a brilliant car, but it needs to have been serviced on schedule and looked after. It needs a timing belt every 36K regardless of what the
service schedule says. I have a 150bhp diesel saloon with all the toys and its awsome. Have to say though, I don't like the estate version too
much, but I supose it depends what you need. PS don't get a selespeed version, they are really prone to problems.
I'd keep the audi over both as the alfa offered isnt a saloon

hi there
is the Audi petrol or diesel?
i am assuming petrol,take it to a performance chip centre and have it remapped,£250 later it will be a differant car and be more ecconomical.
Zil,
Your not weird, well not in relation to car choice anyway. It's just we all have different likes and dislikes. It has to be remebered if we
didn't think differently from the masses we'd not be building 7's.

You've got to have an Alfa before you can be a car nut, it's the law apparently. Even though they say it keeps breaking down... My escort did that!

Keep the Audi.
Known to you, reliable, not going to cost anything to change.
So overtaking is a bit of a pain. It's not the end of the world.
The Alfa will need fettling and the likelyhood is that the Golf has seen some action too!
Spend the money finishing the yellow beastie. That won't be slow to overtake!

When did an A4 have 101 HP? Mine was 2001 and had 170, and my 2006 has 200.
