Vote for your favourite!
Just wondering what everyone's opinion is on these cars and why?! Looking at practicality (servicing, reliability, etc), looks, etc.

I didn't vote, because the audi's are the pick of the bunch IMHO, but we had sooooo much trouble with our breaking down and **** all the time, and servicing costs are through the roof... still nice tho

if you are short of cash, dont choose a european car
their parts cost an arm and a leg and the parts sometimes need to be imported, which costs you another arm too
the prelude looks the best IMO, i love the look
and they are pretty common and Honda have pretty good service, i think anyways

you have 2 sports cars, a practicle euro car and a 4 door euro car listed there...
Don't u have any preferences?
If you do go with the A4, go for a 97' on as they are much easier to chip

Keep the voting up!
It's looking to be the prelude. There are quite a few audi's on the road, and a lot less preludes. For a 4cyl 2.2ltr, damn the preludes are quick.

i voted for the A3.... i would go for the 1.8T, the na 1.8 only had round the 75kw mark.
I have a softspot for euro hatches... even if they do cost more to get serviced, not as many people do them up so you get a sense of individuality.

Parts smarts, Honda's arent cheap either
Alfa is a nice car but you can get electrical problems with them.
Both Audi's are nice, depends if your a hatchback or sedan person? Get the Turbo version, they still lack KW but like Dre suggests a mild chip and exhaust does wonders
That predule, is that UGLY square lights? Unless your a hairdresser?

Well, they're not as quick as an S2000 lets say, but...stock 145kw isn't bad for starters!

Prelude = Hairdressers car. they're a sheep in wolves clothing, through and through.
it may 'feel' quick now, cus its lower to the road than most cars, also the whole sporty feel to it. but it aint fast.
id go an Audi, so classy, nice engine, great reliability (reports that ive heard) and also not as common as ur avg honda!

Having test-driven the Audi A4, i can say that i wasn't too impressed with performance. They're quite a comfortable car, but that's about it. Suprisingly, the A3 was fun to drive

Hi, I was in similar position with you a while back and I chose the prelude. While they don't go very fast they have more luxury features than many of the other sports car in same price bracket (sunroof, cruise control etc). The service cost is moderate and insurance is not too bad. However, the boot is a bit small to put a decent audio in
If you do want a quick car you might take a look at 200sx, however insurance might be a killer there. Audi's are good, but service for european cars are generally very expensive.
Just my 2 cents
