A5 2.0 sports back vs E200 CGI

[mulderang]

Guys,

I know this is obvious the wrong forum to be asking this, but..............looking to change our ride from C to A5 or E200. looking at 2010 model, it seems that the A5 is more value for money. But But not sure about the quality of Audi.......any feedbacks from you guys?

 

Thanks.

A5 got to watch out for the gear box.  Power wise A5 should be better but E200 built is more solid.  A5 more sexy.

Don't know about current Audi models but 2009/2010 Audi 1.8T or 2.0TFSI engine oil does disappearing act.

Some got their problem solved after engine overhaul by changing piston rings, some not!

They say VW 7 spd dry DSG has problem, some Audi 7 spd wet DSG have problems too.

After 3 years no more warranty - think carefully about engine and gear box lol!

When I had a Q5 and A4 2.0T Quattro, I kept a 4L bottle of engine oil in the ride for topping up.

I did not trust the MMI Engine oil level reading that I was probably the 1st guy here to start getting owners buying a "physical" engine oil dip stick from the stockist. The car don't come with a physical engine oil dip stick and the dip stick hole is plug with a rubber stopper.

Driving MBs, I never has to check the engine oil!

 

MB ECU is locked and most got by with min bhp increase by piggy back.

Audi bhp upgrade is very easy! I mTm my Q5 from stock 211bhp to 272bhp, Torque from 350nm to 390nm by doing a remapping.

There's lots of other tuners out there from ABT, Revo, APR, etc

Agreed if based on 2010 model, audi is indeed more sexy. I am worried about the gear box as well.

Looks like MB is a better choice more bullet proof in a way i guess.
