A Jetta owner checks out the Audi A4 & BMW 3GL: 7 points of comparision

To sum up A4 is a more rounded comfortable spacious family sedan. Whereas 3GL is more driver oriented sedan with serious compromise on boot space.

BHPian MADMAX111 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Started looking for a replacement for my diesel Jetta which will complete 10 yrs next year in NCR.

Looked at A4 & 3 GL parked opposite in a mall. Noted the following:-

  • A4 much spacious on inside. Though 3 GL also has good back seat legroom.
  • Didn't like the integration of screens into the dashboard of 3GL. Not proportionate and supported by a plastic leg on dash. Looks weird and ungainly. A4 screen integration looks organic and classy.
  • The seat material in 3GL looked cheaper than A4. Also the floor carpet looked cheap. A4 gives a much more premium look and feel.
  • A4 gets integral sun blinds in rear seats. 3GL misses it.
  • THE BOOT. I tour a lot and the boot on 3GL is just good enough for 2 medium suitcases.. A4 has huge boot rivalling my Jetta.
  • Exterior. Personally I liked 3GL better, though A4 also looks classy.
  • I know that 3 GL will drive better but for overall comfort and that luxurious ride I think A4 will trump it.

To sum up A4 is a more rounded comfortable spacious family sedan. Whereas 3GL is more driver oriented sedan with serious compromise on boot space.
