Should I buy a new Jetta or a used audi? |
|
|
I'm debating whether to buy a new Jetta with the 2.5 150 hp engine or
this used 2002 A4 1.8T with 35000kms on it. Both would cost me around
the same money, $30000 Canadian. I've been looking for B6 A4's to be in
my price range for a while but now I'm second guessing myself every
time a new car comes to market with new technology and features.

Best thing for you would be to test drive them both to see which one you
like better. If it was me, I'd probably go for the A4 since it handles
better, although it's a bit of a dog with that 1.8T engine in its stock form
so I'd have to chip it. :)
Cheers,

I loved the way the audi drives!! Just worried about reliability once
it's off warranty.

Warranty is definitely something to consider. In the US, used Audis can be
purchased with an extended 100K mile/6 year warranty. Do they offer
anything similar in Canada?

If you're in Canada, quattro is king. The Jetta is not available with
awd, so you should also consider that into the equation.
