[QUOTE="OryGanli, post: 431367, member: 20304"] To me it just depends on what you are looking for. Golf GTI: It's a great car no doubt about that, but for a family car I don't think it's a good idea. It's a smaller car so less room in the back and boot, won't feel as safe as the bigger cars and won't be as comfortable especially on long journeys. I haven't driven this, so I can't really comment on the ride quality. Audi A4 Quattro: I've driven this and it's a great car too. Pity I didn't really tested it to the max because it was my friend's car and I was helping him run a quick errand. Since it's a 4wd car it should be better on wet roads. BMW325i M-Sport: Definately feels firm compared to Audi. I'm not sure about you guys, but over here my 1st service is at 10k km and my next would be at 15k km. Which works for me because I would prefer them to do so even if they didn't. Personal taste between Audi vs BMW: Forgive me for this upcoming part because I've made my decision and got a BMW. In terms of looks I agree with docrayboy. I prefer the looks of the BMW mainly because of the headlights reflects a fierce looking eyes rather than Audi's DRL looking like tears rolling down from them. If it's on the top of the headlight n the other hand, with a proper shape, then it'll look like a fierce eyebrow. For the dashboard it does look simple on the BMW. But as a personal taste, most new dashboards are too complicated for me. There's too many equipments on a car and thus too many buttons on a dashboard. Which makes it impossible to remember what is what to drive and not look at the dash while you are driving. The iDrive eliminates most of the buttons giving it a simple look. The screen is on top of the dash so you don't need to look too far down while you are driving. With the iDrive you can save in 13gig of songs. If I'm not wrong. So you won't need a CD changer. Furthermore I don't know what I'll do without the iDrive's GPS. Previously I won't even dare to drive into Singapore without a friend who knows the way, now, I'm travelling in there to places I've never even been before. Suggestions: Please try the iDrive before you compare with other car's equipments. Use the steptronic's modes, drive, sport and manual. Then compare it with Audi's different modes. If you want more comfort test drive the 323i. If you want a more economical run, go for the diesel. But you'll have to wait for the 325d in order to have iDrive cause the 320d doesn't. That's the reason why I pick 325i over 320i. If you really want the M-Sport but less bumpiness, change the RFT to normal tires like the other forumers said. Maybe get one of theirs to try 1st. :D I appologize for this long essay to everyone. I hoped it helped even a little bit. Happy hunting and hope you'll get the car you'll love. [/QUOTE]
