Trust me, the customer is not always right.

Whatever you do, never EVER get a job in retail.

Suffers mostly the same problems, since most of the parts are the same tbh.  :fighting:

They don't suffer the rust and rattles at least

Lol few years ago I had a Saturday job at HMV and was told by a lady (who I won't describe as I'll be called something). She told me "the customer is always right, don't you know". Told her her to jog on! I was incensed.  To this day I find it funny! She was most certainly wrong and bloudy lazy!

Alls I can go on is my car in comparison to my wife's consecutive Audi A3s. Both of her cars were/are the paragon of reliability and have never needed anything other than service parts and tyres. My Golf on the other hand has cost me a bomb in parts and repairs, frequently has the EML on, has rusting sills/arches, always has 2 or 3 DTCs when I scan it and rattles like a bag of spanners. The parcel shelf is kept in the garage bcause it squeaks when in the car and the door lighting is currently faulty (flashes on and off constantly).

Different brand name but it'll still have issues.
I did have four rings for 7 years.

Or FI related issues in the V6.

Audi interiors have more of a premium feel to me.

Missus' A3 is over 9 years old and has done more than twice the miles my car has with no faults. I'd be perfectly happy with that!

Aside from any interior differences I don't think you can suggest that an Audi will have less reliability issues than any other VAG group car. Otherwise you could also say that a VW is more reliable than a Seat or Skoda with the same engine because it cost more to buy...

Still technically leaving .. Haha.

Tried my best to like a Honda. Just not a VTEC fan.

Tried my best to like a ford. Love the RS, and st-3 but st-2 which is in my price range just felt tacky.
