Shitty AWD
Heavy
Volkswagen
Nasty interiors

I won't trigger you with ease of maintenance or anything like that because I'm not a poorfag. Audi is a garbage brand and I have no idea why anyone would be interested in buying luxury cars built on FWD platforms with shitty Quattro tacked on; isn't that why no one likes Acura?

>>16417749
>>16417762
Nice memes, seems like /o/ is actually one person after all.

Anyhow, its ok youre a dumb nigger but dont go spouting misinformation.
>VW
only models that share vw platform on the current lineup are the TT and a3. everything else is independent. and only those models have haldex
>shitty awd
quattro itself is one of the best awd systems you can get. most modern audis are rwd biased too so idk where the fuck youre getting your information from besides this shitty duck trading forum composed of civic driving faggots and unironic shitbox lovers
>heavy
no one said theyre racecars. youd be hardpressed to find light cars with any luxury company in OP
>nasty interiors
subjective, most people and car bloggers say audi has some of the finest interiors although sometimes on the "sterile" side, again, totally subjective and up to personal taste.

>>16417749
Oh, I forgot one.

>engine IN FRONT OF THE FRONT AXLE
This is fucking retarded, you're hanging one of the heaviest components as far from the center of the car as possible which results in any Audi's single defining handling characteristic: terminal UNDERSTEER.

>>16417768
>everything else is independant
Everything else shares one singular fuckheap platform, based on last generation's platforms which, you guess it, were all VW (except the R8)

The interiors are nasty, the exteriors are nasty, the performance is shit (again, R8 exempt) and they are literally lithium on wheels. Understated to the point that they ARE garbage.

>>16417768
>quattro itself is one of the best awd systems you can get if you like weight over the front axle, and lots of understeer
ftfy. Sure, it can do RWD bias (hell, even Ferd transverse systems can do that nowadays), but the packaging is horrendously bad.

>youd be hardpressed to find light cars with any luxury company in OP
Yet Merc and BMW are consistently 200lbs lighter. Also, RS6 is so ridiculously heavy (or VW is incapable of making a good DCT) that it would break the DCT's, hence the move to a traditional ZF 8 speed. Either way, that's VAGshit for you.

>>16417791
Platform doesn't mean it's the same car
>While a model may be said to use an MLB platform, it is not so much a platform per se, but rather a system for introducing rationality across disparate platforms that share engine orientation — regardless of model, vehicle size or brand. Thus, MLB uses a core "matrix" of components across a wide variety of platforms — for example, sharing a common engine-mounting core for all drivetrains (e.g., gasoline, diesel, natural gas, hybrid and purely electric).

>>16417801
Tip your fedora a bit harder. You're not fooling anyone, Audi is garbage and you literally buy it for the badge (how did it get popular again?) because it has no redeeming qualities of its own

>>16417768
>only models that share vw platform on the current lineup are the TT and a3
A2 uses PQ25 (polo) platform
MLB is used for the 2017 Touareg and Phideon
Engines and ancillary components are shared across the range.

>>16419855
Nope. For example, the Passat gets passed down the A4 platforms.

>>16420002
It's all VW R&D, which then gets sent to their subsidiaries. You just pay more because 4 rings.

Nope. Same engineering across the board as VW. You just get """"AWD"""" options on more models.

>>16420062
False. Educate yourself.
For example MLB platform is exclusive to Audi so far, expect the next generation Passat to get it. They've always done it this way.

>>16420145
MLB is already being used by the Phideon and Touareg, try again. MQB also got introduced to all VAG brands at the same time.

found VAG's marketing team. stay btfo

The family bought an A4 1.8 with the s-line trim because it was a last gen one before this gen rolled in, the thing was like 15k.

Anyway, from experience:
Absolutely no problems so far, except the head unit having trouble connecting to the phone.
For some incredible stupid reason, head unit doesn't work through BT for music, only calls. It might seem trivial, but it's so frustrating when even a fucking polo has that shit. Also, no aux-in you gotta buy an extension for that.
Regular service for free and warranty bumper to bumper, so the cost so far is 0 besides purchase and gas.
It has that shit CVT with simulated gears. Personally I dislike CVTs but it is pretty seamless, gas saving isn't that great for an i4 though. We'll see how the CVT does after the warranty/free service period.
UNDERSTEER, U RIKE IT? You do feel it at high speeds.
Quality of interiors is good, leather (or faux?) is nice, alcantara is nice... ride is really comfy but the electronic steering that adapts to speed and shit is super weird at first.

Anyway, VWs/Audis at discount price are super good value for money, at regular price I'd probably buy a jap car again.

You still haven't provided a reason as to why luxury sedans must be RWD. It doesn't matter for slow city driving, it doesn't matter for straight line highway driving even at Autobahn speeds, no one's going to buy a luxury sedan with the intent of whipping it around race tracks.

To be fair that's because GM kills/neuters anything that could potentially be faster than the Corvette.

>>16417768
Who the fuck cares what vw shares with audi. No one cars who steals one or another bolt from each other. What matters is that audi completely belongs to volkswagen shit. That being said, audi does only what vw lets. And if one gets fucked, everyone else get in that way as well.

Yes, vw and audi awd systems are identically same and theyre shit, not to mention true quattro died long time ago somewhere in the 90s

Who gives a fuck about weight anyways? Chances someone on this board touched anything more expensive than logitech gaming steering wheel are low, thus no one even ever been to a racetrack or actually does motorsports. Average person needs road stability, build quality

Interiors are subjective, i like them most after mercedes. Bmw is utterly disgusting. What pisses me is paying 10k bucks for those leather seats

Dumb faggot, VW uses Haldex, which only faggot economy version Audis use. A4-lineup (and others) still uses longitudinal engines and TorSen (altough there are different versions of TorSen as they upgrade the tech behind it every now and then).

Shows who is the one touching his logitech steering wheel here. Fag.

It is AWD, educate yourself, ameriburger

The very first poster meant that audi cars are heavy, therefore it was later said that in order for cars to offer luxury, comfort, straight line stability more weight is needed. No one races these cars on tight japanese city streets.

Leather seat and the rest of muh luckshury is fucking charged like theres no more cows or camels on planet earth to extract materials.

Now heck off, thanks

>>16427934
>It is AWD, educate yourself, ameriburger
You educate yourself, and stop projecting your amerilardness. Quattro Audi's name for AWD, not an AWD system. There's no such thing as "true quattro". You have a variety of Haldex and Torsen systems under that name.
>The very first poster meant that audi cars are heavy, therefore it was later said that in order for cars to offer luxury, comfort, straight line stability more weight is needed. No one races these cars on tight japanese city streets.
Yet Audis are consistently heavier than their BMW and Mercedes-Benz counterparts.

Sorry buddy but I was talking about the present, not about the audi ur-quattro. Which BTW got shoehorned a torsen back in '87 and it was a huge improvement.
BTW, Torsen didn't get replaced by Haldex, Haldex only comes in shitty audis such as the a3

Yeah, no. It's both badgewhoring and "just cause we can" attitude.

>>16428981
Yes but they're still based on the regular sedans and such. They generally perform better than their non-RS counterparts and employ more methods to limit the understeer, but it would be dumb to think they would create a completely new platform from scratch for something that sells in relatively low numbers.

Keep in mind these are first and foremost supposed to be luxury cars. Lexus isn't huge on performance but they're generally seen as the industry leader. When you buy a luxury car you're expecting excellent dealership service, options to fit your needs, comfortable driving. Most of /o/ doesn't understand that because they buy used cars and with that, you pay for the car and nothing more. I should explicitly state I'm not making poorfag accusations or anything

That seems to be what the average Audi RS buyer believes, and what Audi's marketing team tries to sell.
It's not so different from burgers trying to convince everyone that a Grand National is somehow not just a glorified Regal

>>16429983
Well that is the marketing team's job so can't fault them for that. I'm confident most people who know anything about cars are fully aware that RS Audis are mainly for straight line speed
