vw/Audi are leading the field in low/mid range cars!!
they have so many models it's unbelievable, though i still think the BMW has the better drive.
but if u compare a normal 1'er v a scirroco, VW wins easily inside and out, even modding a VW, the ecu
only costs like 5k!
A5 is ok, u can tune it and style it cheaply but no rear leg space,so can't see the point.

looks like they are taking toyota/honda's share!!
look at the state of Honda's range in HK!
Honda HK by DCH:
detuned,overpriced,underspec'd, no performance figures,etc,. etc,. what a shame!!!!
bring back the Honda guys who gave us the NSX,CRX,Prelude,S2000,Integra etc,.
or else change the name to Hyondai!!
capt will u buy another Honda?

I agree it is just a bigger version of the A5 but slower with no Turbo in the engine. That is why I would go for the A5 more.
4 seats is ok for me. My family is only 4 and I never take the helper out with me so for the 4door coupe 4 seat . If more than 4 ppl then its the stepwgn.

Yeah, Audi is bringing out new model every 6 months now..i already attended two of their launch party in a new year.
BMW is still a better car to drive in most aspects, but the gap is closing up when you compared to 10 years ago. :thumbsdown:

A5 sounds the best 1 right now.
as for the rear leg space, me and you are ok with these cars we both have small kids and no need to put 4 big ppl in the car.
as for Honda, well no way will I buy other Honda in HK unless like you say they start to make better cars, I think there days are over.
the new noah and Serena are much better than Honda for the 7seater now.

Getting a rear camera to be installed tomorrow, because my water car does not come with the Parking Sensors, it is very tricky to estimate the rear distance without assistance.
