Poll: G35 or 300C

[johnjbruin]

I drive a G35 - and i'd take the 300C over it. I love how it looks - it has a certain aura about it that I tend to like.
Plus V8 has more torque than the G's VQ - smoother ride when cruising at normal speeds.

If not, then the G35 I guess.

Dood, even the freggin Chrysler would be more reliable than that junker - he said he wanted a car, not an electrical grimlin with faulty coil packs and mysterious engine fires.

Sorry, but you need to get your facts straight. The B5 chassis S4 (2000-2002) did not have faulty coilpacks or many electrical gremlins. The news you're probably hearing is from the 2002 A4...the new B6 chassis design. I've had my S4 for over 2 years and not one single problem with it and I know of others who share my sentiments as well. Engine fires or misfires? That's probably due to chipping and not running a high enough octane fuel. Stock for stock, it's a reliable car. Now, chipped, you're talking about a completely different vehicle, 310hp/375tq in a measily 4 door sedan (ultra stealth). I've been chipped for about a year...still no problems whatsoever, and i'm in Cali so I've got the crappy 91oct. Whatever you're hearing, it's probably just a small percentage of bad news out there.

Seems like you need to get your facts straight: Audi reliability SUCKS: http://www.jdpa.com/presspass/pr/images/2003050bfull.gif

Also, from other studies that I've read, the S4 has one of the highest buyback rates in the industry (lemon-lawed) - it's among the top 10 cars that are most bought back by manufacturers due to unresolvable defects. Yea, sounds like a GREAT car

:roll:

Soooo....from that survey, everyone should be driving a Lexus, Infiniti, Buick, and/or Porsche. oookkaaay. Those surveys don't mean too much really.

well honda and toyota are above bmw, mercedes , audi etc.


and kia is at the bottom. seems to be just about what anecdotal evidence shows. so whats not to like about the survey?


i'd rather have some evidence than just "AUDIs are reliable i said so"
