Brought home an Audi A4: Why I chose it over the 3 series & C-class

I wanted to buy the 3 Series but somehow it never gave me the same sense of luxury as Audi.

BHPian garyag79 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

I recently bought an Audi A4 Technology over 3 series / C class and couldnt agree more with the positives mentioned by various owners in the thread. Still listing a few for perspective buyers:

  • Classic / Timeless looks - The sharp lines, muscular bonnet, Matrix headlights make me turn my head everytime I park the car
  • Luxury feeling - The interiors of A4 Technology are very well put together; quality of materials, reach to various controls, the MMI, interior lighting give you a very hushed feeling of luxury, its something you need to experience yourself.
  • NVH - The cabin offers pin drop silence on NCR roads I have multiple times muted the B&O system to feel the silence offered by the cabin. This is complemented by well insulated engine bay, I have to check the RPM gauge to ensure engine is running
  • Suspension - The Audi suspensions just glide over bad roads, speedbreakers and whatever pathetic roads of NCR offer
  • Speed / acceleration / thrill - even in comfort mode, press the pedal and Audi just launches itself making overtaking easy and at the same time ego boosting. On the Dwarka Expressway I have floored the pedal in Sports / Dynamic mode and thats where the Audi shows its true colors. The car is stable, steering precise and that sound from the engine is true love

This is my first foray into the luxury segment and while I wanted to buy the 3 Series but somehow it never gave me the same sense of luxury as Audi no doubt the drive was better but how much of that will I use in city made me go towards Audi. The other option was C class which offers the best sense of luxury amongst the A4 and 3 series however punny petrol engine and those hideous pin stripes are not to my taste.

Happy to share more details to help perspective buyers and I suggest Audi South for best CRM experience amongst the dealers I dealt with.
