car must be AWD.

[Lomac]

Moved to VAC.

[ilvtofu]

Are we looking at new cars here or what?

[ELITE_TRAYUNZE]

A4 because quattro

[1exotic]

A4 becuase it's Audi, and Audi is awesome... and it's awesome because it has quatrro, and quattro is awesome.

Now put some new wheels on it, lower it... there you go, now you have a very nice car.

[skyxx]

^ Bahahahhaha So Bias. :lol :thumbsup:

[maxx]

audi.. best AWD system

if you're bone stock, no options - Lexus.

[thumper]

is250=gutless :(

is250awd= heavy+gutless :cry:

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

no IS350 no IS


simple as that


200 weak sauce wont cut it

no not even around town

[thumper]

here's something out of left field... what about a 2009 cadillac 3.6L CTS SIDI AWD?

i just did quick google: http://autos.yahoo.com/2009_cadillac_cts_3.6l_sidi_awd/

i thought i saw a 1/2 page ad (dueck GM?) in the vancouver sun on sale for $39-40k for an old stock 2009 (i think they are clearing it out for 2010 models?).

[Meowjin]

^i've driven one and my god are they ever nice.

I think one of the best ineriors i've ever seen, and a good amount of torque to boot.

[alex.w *//]

a4 if your getting the led drl

if not lexus is

[Rikaro]

a4 if your getting the led drl

if not lexus is

haha the only reason for you to choose an Audi over the Lexus heh?




Audi are for Assholes.
Lexus are for Losers.

You decide. They're both AWD

[d1]

a4 if your getting the led drl

if not lexus is

Every ricer's dream.

[skyxx]

ELLO YEE DEE..... DEE ARLO ELLO

Then Bau TEC after.....

[RabidRat]

^ lmao

[hamhead]

bmw xdrive?

[!Aznboi128]

is 250 is gutless, don't even bother it's awd system just sucks up all the power, the a4 has led :D

btw as shown on TG it's now "cock" to drive a Audi so ....

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

than which brand is for the cool people :confused:

[too_slow]

Definately Audi..

is250 awd is the biggest pile of shit i've ever driven..

it struggles to climb up garglardi on my test drive (with only two people in the car), and the engine is LOUD and THRASHY... A 4cylinder TSX makes a more pleasant 'noise' when the engine is under heavy load..

[xpl0sive]

bmw xdrive?

Useless?

[shenmecar]

WRONG.

Audi are for Cocks.

Lexus are for Boring people.

Don't you watch Top Gear?


My opinion, get a Lexus because its probably more reliable. If you wish to sell the car after a few years then get an Audi cuz you can chip the damn thing and run overboost. Fried your turbo a lot quicker but its the next owner's problem right?

[ToyotaPowah]

^

What he said. Depends on what your plan for the car is. If you plan on financing/buying it out right and keeping it for a while, I'd go for the Lexus for the reliability. I like the Audi more, but they are known for being unreliable. If you are leasing, go for the Audi.

[wasabisashimi]

LED looks good on R8, and maybe A4 for a while, but now they are putting it on A6, Porches,.and other ricer cars,..... its starting to look like the time when we had "Spinners" chrome rims. or the Altezza tail lights.

YOU dont watch Top Gear or sleep through the whole damn thing

Lexuses are for dorks

[q0192837465]

A4, it's soooo mod-able

[shenmecar]

That too, but i was referring to the time Clarkson drove with his head out of the sunroof of the lexus version of the Celsior to make things less boring.

[monkeywrench]

QUATTROOOOOOOO

[wasabisashimi]

how is quattro different than the lexus' AWD or the honda SH-AWD

[Chestnut]

seriously?:confused:

[ELITE_TRAYUNZE]

The Audi Quattro four-wheel-drive system sends power to all four tires, giving it significant off-road and road-gripping capabilities. A four-wheel-drive system typically only sends power to both car axles when a toggle on the driver's dashboard is engaged, sending power to just the rear axle the rest of the time. This is because with standard open and locking differentials, it is difficult for a vehicle to turn on flat road when four-wheel drive is engaged. The Audi Quattro has found a way around this turning problem and developed a system that sends power to all four wheels all of the time. Technically, such a vehicle is labeled an all-wheel drive.

The structure of the Quattro four-wheel drive begins with the transmission. Ordinarily, four-wheel-drive cars feature a drive-transfer case with two drive shafts leading to differentials sitting between both the rear and front axle. Audi's version, however, does not have a drive-transfer case. In its place is a Torsen differential, from which extend two drive shafts. Each of those connects to a Torsen differential on each of the vehicle's axles.

Power passes through all three Torsen differentials to the wheels equally when the Audi Quattro is driving on a straight, smooth surface. The power is divided when there is more resistance on one wheel than another. For example, when the front passenger-side wheel edges off the road onto stiff gravel it puts more resistance against the wheel than the front driver-side wheel. This causes a shift in the power being sent to both wheels by the front-axle Torsen differential, sending more power to the driver-side wheel to compensate. Likewise, if both front wheels were to go off-road, the Torsen differential would send more power to the rear axle than the front.

seriously?:confused:

yeah, maybe 10 years ago, everythings so much more advanced now, I like the 4matic in the C-class too

[StealthFighter]

if OP wants AWD...get subaru or mitsubishi.

was that so hard?

rieger a4 :D

[hyek]

how about the a3 quattro?
a3 is fast too

[ELITE_TRAYUNZE]

Why would you get the A3 when you can get the A4?.......

[!Aznboi128]

you can't compare SH-AWD to quattro, symmetrical awd, all of them are awesome

sh-awd can split the rear torque to the outside wheel when in a corner so it has tremendous grip.

search up the different awd on youtube and there's one that shows how the symmetrical awd system even with 1 wheel on "grip" it'll still pull

[ilvtofu]

Why would you get the A3 when you can get the A4?.......

He has a point, the A4 is a way better deal, So is the S4 starts at 52k :)

[hyek]

if your buying for performance then a3 is the way the go.

Edit:

i don't think the s4 starts at 52k.... i think its more expensive then that.

[impactY]

audi's AWD is a piece of shit compared to subarus

[BMW135i]

Are u sure u want Audi A4 ? According to TG,cocks are now driving Audi instead of Bimmer. lol Back to the topic. A4 does look alot better than IS250 in all ways.

[skyxx]

audi's AWD is a piece of shit compared to subarus

Explain? :)

[punkwax]

I love my IS250awd. Whoever says its slow didn't drive an EL for years. :lol

[pandalove]

A4 is newer looks cooler ..
IS is old .. but reliable .. and its still looks cool
can't go wrong with either ... IS better bang for the buck imo

[ELITE_TRAYUNZE]

I love my IS250awd. Whoever says its slow didn't drive an EL for years. :lol

I've been told it's a "woman's car"....

[punkwax]

The person who told you that, what did they drive?

[ELITE_TRAYUNZE]

The person who told you that, what did they drive?

An IS250.

[punkwax]

:fuuuuu:

[TripleXXX]

A4 does look better, I've seen it in person and I'm love. :P

[ELITE_TRAYUNZE]

Lol, I just google-searched "is250 girl" and found lots of discussion on the topic.

[68style]

I love how everyone is saying the IS250 is sooooo slow and underpowered yet the Audi only has barely over 200hp as well..... they're putting the same power down.

I drove a regular IS250... it's not fast but it's not super slow either, geez, you guys are harsh and most of you probably drive slower cars than a IS250 so grains of salt... grains of salt...

i drove both, the audi 2.0t quattro and the stock lexus is250 (rwd obviously) and i liked the lexus better as a handling car. that was on a track though.

[thumper]

i've driven an EL before! yes i agree that the is250 is faster but that's like an epic battle between 2 snails :D

[rien]

A4, it's soooo mod-able

don't plan to "mod" it at all

[rien]

if your buying for performance then a3 is the way the go.

Edit:

a3 is better than a4? please explain. i thought(noob here!!) their engine was the same.. just the back of the car is different.

[rien]

if OP wants AWD...get subaru or mitsubishi.

was that so hard?

i'll look into it thanks;)

[J____]

A3 is fwd. It's literally a golf.

[Edison_Chen]

I like the A4 > A3, even if both are AWD.

[68style]

A3 is fwd. It's literally a golf.

That's old info, since 2009 the A3 has been quattro... it's only FWD if you get the 6-speed manual.

That said, the A3 is TINY inside.
