Sir kuha ka nalang bnew BMW or Mercedes-Benz mas reliable sila and availability gn parts/maintenance hindi mahirap and resale value of audi ay mura lang.sa performance mas maganda bmw/mercedes-benz.

Have you looked at the selling price of a secondhand 3-series lately? I don't know about you, but I don't like losing a million bucks in just a few years...

Hard to say about the new A3 and A4. I know the old turbo models had their issues... and all the German cars have wiring and electronic quirks... but I don't know about the new TFSI and TDI engines.

thanks for your replies..i guess ill wait for the 2011 sti na lang.

[foresterx]

if your planning to keep your car for 10 years then don't get an audi. it's a nice car, but it's not really a long term car to keep. more like own it for 3 years then sell it.

the 2011 sti is a great choice and it's a lot faster than an a3 or a4, but the interior of the subaru is nothing compared to an a3 or a4. subarus are also known to get up to 100k miles with no issues, it's life span if maintained properly is up to 250k miles.

pero it's so nice to own a euro car, no japanese car can compare to the luxurious interior of a euro car. if you can afford to maintain the audi then i suggest you get that over the subaru.

bought an A4 recently, i don't worry too much about resale value as this is a company provided car. I have the option to own it or upgrade to another model in 5 years as a company incentive.

you obviously don't know what your talking about...
you probably dwell on the Audi brand during the Auto Prominence dealership Era, which was **** and a total failure.. Unit Taxing discrepancy/after sales/warranty anomalies ..
If i must compare the three brands,Base on experience, We had a c230 model, which milked our pockets due to a total wiring harness failure of the vehicle (MB did not want to admit that the vehicles that they use to import were not tropicalized) nice..., my 2003 audi a4 has 150k mileage now, and so far its a tank.. normal and expected wear and tear parts have been replaced, yes they maybe expensive compared to a japanese vehicle, but if you know how and where to source things out, it shouldn't be a problem for you. (This goes for all Mercs,BMW's, Audi's), and if i have to mention my friends nightmares with regards to their bimmers, i would rather not since, this might become a short story. But what kind of a car interior Chips off with the slight fingernail swipe...


Just for comparison sake, a 2010:
*318i 140hp/180nm/6speed - 2,950,000.00
*A4 1.8T 160hp/250nm/8speed -2,880,000.00

They wont waste money posting huge billboards over the edsa showroom stating "Fastest,Biggest, Most fuel-efficient in its class" for nothing..

Audi is a totally different brand now, Read how much they have gained worldwide vs BMW's and Mercs. Most Filipinos should really open their eyes and look around. Seriously, each manufacturer have pros and cons, but enough of the bimmerfest and chedengness of Old Filipino mentality already

Just my .02 cents

Problem talaga un plastic ng BMW mabilis mag peel
sa Audi naman sana dumami ang CASA nila para mabilis mag pa service heheh malayo kasi EDSA sakin

I agree with you.. Sanay kasi ang pinoy sa bmw and mb...

[my_BMW]

I agree with you.. Sanay kasi ang pinoy sa bmw and mb...

Di lang mga Pinoy even the British they agree that BMW is 1st, MB 2nd, and Audi is only at 3rd. It is a sad thing for Audi owners but it is the truth. BMW still is "the car to beat". Just check out Top Gear ratings http://www.topgear.com/uk/bmw/3-series between BMW, MB, Audi particularly. We are only following their lead.

Most Audis sold in the Philippines are FRONT WHEEL DRIVE, just like the Camrys and Accords.

Kaya BMW and Benzes have higher resale for this reason.

*A4 1.8T 160hp/250nm/8speed -2,880,000.00

Too bad the standard A4 is only FWD like majority of the mid-size Japanese sedans sold here.

PS: 318i with no i-Drive costs P2,750,000.

+1 on this. Audi is built like a tank. Even during the saloon races in Australia, I think it was an Opel hit an A4 Quatrro and the announcer said "wrong move the Audi is built like a tank", the front bumper of the Opel got shredded and there was no sign of damage on the A4. If I remember correcty Frank Beila was driving the Audi.

[four-rings]

get the quattro! you won't be disappointed

[my_BMW]

get a BMW320d - i bought one myself. if you compare 318i with the A4 i'll get the A4 anytime. but for me i've compared all that MB, Audi, BMW and my preference is the BMW 320d - superb car... 3.390M though.

Euro car maintenance is not that simple. For less headache, it would be best to get a used Japanese.
