    Default Why would you take your Audi/VW over any other German Competitors(BMW, Saab, Volvo..)

    In your opinion why would you pass up on the opportunity to get an Bimmer, Volvo, or any other german car to have your Dubb that you have now? Personally, I have an A4 1.8t now, but if i had the opportunity to choose between getting an S4, R32, or something like an M3 it would be a tough choice because you cant go wrong with any choice and each have their own benifits and downfalls in comparison to the others..

    DUB is slang for 20".... We call our cars dub, short for " Vee Double-U"...or "V-DUBS"
    I have a "DUB" sticker on my car, because it has 20", not because it is a VW.

    I Like VW over most other German(And swede) counter parts because the quality is VERY high, price is very low. In my 03 Jetta, it was $22,020, after a $500 chip, I was as fast or faster than anything Audi has, (S4s are my speed at the drag strip...when stock)...and I've seen them actually much slower at Commerce.
    So I have nearly identical acceleration for 1/2 the cost. I dont have alot of the small luxuries that an S or an M has, but I didnt pay for them either.

    If $ were no prob, I'd rock an E46 M3......Thats just me though.

    I know that was sarcasm, yet I agree .......and disagree. I have 2 late model VWs (03, 04.5) and I almost sold mine and bought an E46 M3 when we were lookin to get a 2nd car. It just would have take the place of both cars. I decided to be smart and get the second car for the wife.
    I think its more like BMW is a rich mans VW
