I Want An Audi Please

This thread is full of WIN!

Buying a small Audi is just snobbish. The cost of that car doesn't justify the car you get. It's still an awesome piece of engineering but VW uses the same engine (I know I owned a VW TIguan and it had the same engine the Q3 uses). Quite frankly for the price of that car (still pretty but nothing special) he could have got her something so much more equipped that not only wouldn't raise so many eyebrows but would actually be safer and better. The bang for the buck when getting an Audi really starts with an A4 in my opinion. It's fully there with an A5+.

You can buy a car by the numbers and some specs. Or you can put your butt in the seat and your foot to the floor and find out which set of numbers feels right for you. Specs never tell the whole story.

More proof Argentina is a better country economicallythan say Canada or Australia! Where else can a civil servant buy his daughter a 2013
imported Audi in a country with an exchange rate twice the official and duties making imported cars cost twice the sticker?

Repeat after me: Aquí también la nación crece!

I agree, sometimes the car just seems to be right. If you're willing to pay that much more for a glorified VW Polo with Audi rings and a slightly better sound system just because it speaks to you it's perfectly OK. If it's just for show then you must be a very sad person with little meaning in your life and I guess you better get the car anyway because your life is so empty.

So now Mr Funny Guy says:
'If you love your kids, you give them everything'
Hey funny guy, we love our kids too and we'd like to buy them something that doesn't fall to pieces in five minutes and also to be able to stroll into a bureau de change or a bank and get some real currency to go on holiday with like people do in any other civilised country.
And while you're reading this Mr Funny Guy, I'm giving you that sign whilst singing along to Katy Perry.

It is indeed just a better equipped VW Polo or SEAT Ibiza - but with a 'premium brand' badge.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the list of countries in which the head of the national tax agency could afford an a1 (even a heavily taxed one) for his or her daughter is a LOT longer than the list of countries where they could not.

What a stupid and jugmental evaluation of someones desire for a car. If it's what you like and it suits your needs and you can afford it. Then just do it. What is the harm? Enjoy the ride. Some F..ing politician buying Audis for his 16 yr old daughter with taxpayer money is disgusting.

What sticks in the craw with most sane people here is yet another example of government employees sticking the finger up at the rest of us.
