Mercedes I’ve owned 4. E class c class and a class. 1 amp s55. My c class lasted 330k miles with no problems. I got tired of looking at it. I personally don’t foresee me owning a bmw or Audi ever. I even cross shopped bmw and Audi and came home with another Mercedes. I tried but the three pointed star is and will always be my aspirational car choice.
My daily driver is a 2014 Audi S4 and I absolutely love it! Perfect blend of performance and luxury, and practicality with quattro AWD. I think in the last decade Audi has left the others behind in terms of interior design and quality. And with many great performance options and highly rated dependability, to me it's the best German luxury brand out there. I also recently bought a 2017 Porsche 911 and it's easily the most fun to drive car I've ever had and also very good quality and reliability. German cars for the win! Good video.
Which Audi model and year would you recommend to buy to be reliable ( 2000-2017?? Is Audi overall really much better than BMW and mercedes or all same class ?
I own a 2018 audi a7 prestige quattro right now for work. Love it. It's up to 46k miles now with no problems! The interior never fails to "woo" the ladies. And no bugs or issues at all!
Glad to read good things about Audi. I've owned their 2.7 biturbo 6 A6. Drove it up and down the east coast. It could've used more power for such road trips being in stock form.
@ Rob Horton, I leased a 2015 Audi S5 and enjoyed it very much. I got so many compliments. The car was in such high demand in 2018 the dealership paid me $3,000 cash to turn it in 6 months early because they already had a buyer looking for the same color.
@ Pro Habits, I thought they wanted it because I kept it in pristine condition. The sales manager told me about the buyer after I turned in the car. I took the $3,000 and put it down on the 2019 S5 Sportback. I like that car even more than I liked the coupe.
I have owned multiple examples of all three brands. That being said my current stable includes 2 Audi S4s and will continue to include a 4 ring product for the foreseeable future. Great video Ideal Media!!!
Hesko 1 If you’re buying a new or a well kept slightly used one then not a problem. When they get some age on them (5 or 10 years plus) there are to be some problems expected just like any used German car.
BMW is a performance/drivers brand trying to be luxurious, Mercedes is a luxury car brand trying to be performance oriented … Audi is the love child of them both
Have owned and driven several examples from all three; I keep finding myself wanting to go back to Audi! If you want something with four doors that's fast, agile, and comfortable and has a top-notch interior with subtle-yet-handsome exterior styling, can't beat 'em!
I agree, my Audi A8L runs rings (!) around the BMW & Mercedes. It's fun, stylish, and the V8 will get you into triple digits before you look down to check.
I owned 3 audis, and now I also own a 2008 Audi A8 D3 4.2 V8 bi-turbo diesel with more than 450k miles, bulletproof engine (yes, 4.2 TDI, idk if americans ever got the diesel versions of Audi). Europeans also get the RS4 avant, RS3 hatchback, RS5 coupe, RS6 avant, SQ7 and SQ8 with a 4.0 bi-turbo diesel, RSQ3, RSQ5
No! I own an audi. I am not a fanboy, but it’s really the car I wanted for a few reasons: the first one is the driving pleasure it offers me on long distances, also being the first car brand I learnt to drive; the second one is the performance it has over time compared to other cars with the same age. Audi is the brand that gets old the hardest, and when it does, it has the image audi quattro has. My last reason is the build quality even if you don’t have the s-line option. The only car I would want besides my audi a4 b8 2.0TDI is an old bmw, a flip-flop headlights miata or any of the latest audis.
I prefer Audi’s interiors. They’re simple, sophisticated and oozes quality. Mercedes’s interiors are too blingy as if they’re designed to impress rich showy Chinese teenagers
I have the 2007 Audi A8 with the V8 4.2FSI (direct injection) one year and 7 months 37,000 miles later. Changed the spark Plugs and air suspension front only. Solid car and over 100 mph everyday. Fantastic
My current vehicle is a 2012 audi a6 The supercharged v6 is loud and proud The interior may be old but doesn't rattle one bit And the styling is to die for I love the car to death
What for Quality? Audi have no Quality xD... An BMW 530d f11 touring looks like a new car after 8 years! This is Quality! Your Audi would look like a shitty Opel in just 7 months xD
Hi. Bought a 2011 Audi A5 6 speed (yup manual) with 20 K at the end of 2012. Upgraded the struts to Bilstein B6 @ 55k. Still a pleasure to drive and, at this point, irreplaceable. Other than spark plugs at 70K, just annual oil changes.... Still get compliments on the classic looks. and offers for when I'm ready to sell...
Christian Barri absolutely! Granted, yes you need to fix any issues quickly to avoid new ones popping up, but any BMW is that way. I’ve loved both e46s I have owned. The M3 has 132k and runs like it was 25k. #goodmaintenancegoesalongway
@@justo2640 I have an E46 330ci. It's one of the best BMWs you can get for a great price. However, some things to look out for: Replace entire cooling system, and get an aluminum DISA valve flap. Those are the main issues you can get, and maybe the CCV system. However, if you fix it all yourself, it's not very expensive. Beautiful car!
I'm not so sure about this video... Audi is still a front heavy understeerer because the engine is out beyond the front axle so they aren't nearly as sporty as BMW and Mercedes... although Audi does have its major strengths. BMW lost their driving dynamic mojo but they still are a more athletic machine than an Audi. The new m340i xdrive has 50/50 weight distribution and it does the rear biased all wheel drive thing very well. And the Mercedes with their glorious sounding exhausts out of those AMG motors, and they have the best looking interior out of the bunch when optioned correctly.
@@svroadster1130 I definitely am biased, but I still see the same pattern. Audi is probably the most reliable and has a little better all wheel drive as far as safe driving goes. Their engines are out ahead of the front axle which is why they don't handle as well as they could on a track, but they are incredible under normal and sporty driving, I loved driving the new S4 (very confidence inspiring) but I didn't track it. BMW definitely lost their mojo over the last 6 years... excepting only the M3/M4 and the 2 series. They have always had amazing engines. But with their new generation of vehicles, they are doing a MUCH better job! I drove the 340i and I liked the S4 much more, but then I drove the new M340i and it is even better than the S4. And you can't beat their Xdrive that feels like RWD. I still cannot get over the sound of mercedes though. The C43 amg sounds so amazing! They are definitely the least reliable but that sound is intoxicating! The m performance exhaust on the m340i is quite amazing as well, just heard it about two weeks ago and was impressed, but overall I think mercedes still has the better interior design and exhaust sound. I would love having any of the new Audi's, BMW's or Mercedes... as long as they aren't the front drive platform models lol.
All 3 have great cars. I like Audi’s and don’t really notice the understeer since I’m not throwing my car into corners on my daily commute. For me a car should provide the best balanced experience since we spend a huge chunk of our lives inside of them and for me Audi wins. For pure performance I do concede BMW is the winner and the AMGs sound like a dream.
Agreed. Turbo charging, electric brakes and the weird steering has taken away from the driving experience of modern bmw's. Still the sportiest out of these three especially when comparing awd models
To be honest Audi is an amazing car for the price. I went to bmw and merc. For my first car and they were 10k more than what audi was giving me...i also fell in love withe the driving position of the Audi .....the merc felt too high up and the beamer was a little tight . I bought a A3 8v and love it
The naturally aspirated version of the BMW sounds a lot better to me The turbocharged one doesn't sound that good to me Tbh, if you hadn't said that the first car was naturally aspirated, I'd have thought that it was the turbocharged BMW
It all depends on the exhaust... the video quality was really poor comparing the two. Get the M4 with the Performance exhaust and it will blow you away.
Reynaldo Perez you have nothing to explain why it’s a terrible engine. if anything it’s one of the best. Fit perfectly for its chassis, yeah first production year was a little rough but they still get much love, all the years after we’re updated with little things to keep them modern but yet still a classic, and the S65/S85 won so many engine awards. Categorize “terrible”, in reliability or performance? Because in both it wins, I own one and had no problems with it except for stuff I expected to go out when the parts need replacement, such as the throttle bodies and idle control valve, which was covered by warranty. If your on a warranty with this engine you will be okay, S85 engines were higher performance and didn’t get as much warranty benefits, and you were more likely to have a problem with that than the S65 which hardly breaks. I have 85K on it and plan on putting more on. My bearings show little to no wear and I’m on stock bearings. Don’t believe the myths you hear on forum sights.
To be honest audi makes one of the most amazing looking cars ever BUT its not the best luxury brand BUT its one HELL of a car brand always love audi. But what's not to like
"tO bE hOnEsT aUdI mAkEs oNe oF tHe mOsT aMaZiNg lOoKiNg CArS eVeR" seriously bro, do you ever see an Aston Martin, a Jaguar or a Maserati in your life?
I respectfully disagree with the comment about Mercedes not having excellent interiors anymore. They are the most beautiful and high quality you can get for the price. Take the A class for example, it is the entry level and it comes with many trims and a better interior than the other 2 brands by a fair amount.
Considering BMW has ruined some of their cars just to "compete" with Mercedes (1 series with FWD) and Audi could never really keep up as a premium brand unless you count premium prices and workshop costs, not to mention the production of the TT and the R8 is about to stop, I'd always pick the Mercedes. They've been building great cars since forever, even if I'm not a huge fan of the newer ones.
What do you mean Bmw ruined their 1 series just to compete with the A Class. Mercedes literally made the cla and a class with fwd despite it being in contradiction to Mercedes tradition. And furthermore the 1 series, a class, cla, were all and answers to the audi a3.
@@TheWeedOperation Look at the brand new 1 series and 2 series gran coupe. Both have the same stats as the A and CLA, the M versions have AWD and 2 liter 306 hp engines just like the (CL)A35 models from Mercedes. Audi doesn't even have a saloon below the A4 or A5 (A3 Berline doesn't count). The A Class never had RWD so there was nothing "ruined".
I’ve had 3 Mercedes, a ‘74 240D, an ‘80 300D, and a 2003 E500. The diesels were rock solid cars that would run forever. The E500 had the gas fumes in the cabin problem and was constantly torn up. What an expensive piece of junk. With the moldy AC problems in recent models, I just don’t trust Mercedes. They don’t build a good car any more, and they don’t stand behind their product.
U are lucky if u haven't bought it below 10k dollars but e60 is just great car it's magnet of auto fans the speed,sound,drifting ... this is just fantastic car but the big problem of this car is that this is very unreliable if I want to buy family car I would buy e39 it's sport car and some drift and accelerating loses u lot of money in repairs
I've been intrigued by Audi since the 90's and finally getting one this week. (an e-tron, since I'm a fan of EVs) We used to have 2 Teslas but wanted one of our two cars to be about luxury/space/fit & finish, so that'll be the Audi, and our remaining Tesla is a Model 3 Performance and that'll be the one with range and speed. Looking forward to finally owning an Audi!
no shit you are, all those 3 brands are decent in cars, people gotta stop trying to compare everything and appreciate every positive on each one, as on everything in life, tnx
I owned the 3 brands more than once and Audi has definitely the best interior quality and ergonomics period. But it doesn’t draw attention as much as a Mercedes
I've owned a BMW 325 2.8 / 6. I've owned a Audi 2.7T / 6. I've owned a Volkswagen 2.8 / 6 Passat. I've owned two Volvos S60Rs. Never owned a Mercedes Benz. I was smitten on their 190E AMG, C-36 and C-43! 👍
I’m new to the German brands always been hesitant to buy a German car for the long term reliability and maintenance cost but not to long ago bought my 1st BMW E46 and so far I like it 😂
I currently own a 2001 avus blue BMW e39 540i M sport and I still have not found a car I love more! The looks are timeless and the m62 4.4L V8 with the 6 speed manual is just amazing. I have no plans on selling it!
ALFA ROMEO GIULIA QUADRIFOGLIO is the best sedan ever made. Top Awards in 2016-2019, The Best Luxury Sedan Twin Turbo. 0-62mph in 3.9, 1/4mile in 11.8, Top Speed 191mph/307KM/H. It is faster than Supra Mark V 335hp. 510hp Alfa Romeo is real luxury.
Buying myself a C-Class coupe in a few months - I feel it's a much better looking car than the A5 and 4 Series. Reliability wise, I never hear anything going majorly wrong with Mercedes compared to BMW and occasionally Audi.
Worked at a high-end dealership 1995-2000. I fell in love with Audi (dealerships bread and butter) especially Quattros and came to appreciate Porsche. I've now owned two Audi's, 1984 Audi 4000cs, and 1996 A6 - drove 10 years 350k miles - maintenance but not a lot of repairs. I've driven BMW's and Mercedes, but have never owned.
I owned a BMW 335i convertible. Great vehicle for the first 4 years but reliability started to deteriorate at the time my warranty expired. The cost of maintenance started to pile up so I sold the car for a more reliable Lexus. But boy do I miss the German-engineered cars so I am thinking about an Audi Q8 in my near future.
I owned an Audi S4 and currently own a CLA45 AMG I had zero mechanical issues with the Audi and owned it until 68k miles currently at 40k miles on the Cla45 and going strong! I loved the Quattro all wheel drive.
I'd choose BMW. When I was 5 year old I started to memorialize the car brands, BMW was 1st and the most drawn car logo. Recently I had a dream. The dream was about I buyed a M2 competition, when I buyed I felt something indescribable. I could compare to that when you feel like you can die happily.
Hope you buy it one day. but dying happy meant to live good, contribute to society and understand than there is a creator to whom we have to return with all our good and bad accounts.
I’ve had 4 BMWs with the most recent being an N54 335XI. I LOVED that car but recently switched to a B8.5 Audi S4 and quickly realizing why people fanboy over Audi’s.
After owning 2 BMWs, 2 Mercedes and 2 VAG products, BMW gave me the least amount of problems. In fact the BMWs I had were more reliable than a Honda Civic I once owned. My current one has 132,000 miles and only needed a water pump. Last Mercedes I owned was a 2002 W203 and it was basically an oil colander. Never liked VAG cars after owning a GolF GTI with multiple issues.
I've owned two Audi A6's but recently bought a Merc C-Class and I'm extremely happy about it, even though it's smaller than the A6 counterpart (E-Class). The interior and overall look of it is superb in my opinion.
I bought A5 in 02/12 and have done more than 152000m and has never given me a single problem (apart from replacing bulbs). When it's time to scrap it eventually, I'll probably cry for sure.
I own a 2014 Mercedes E350 Coupe and love it. Been a solid reliable, quick and comfortable on long road trips where this model belongs. Even though having to use premium fuel, at 80mph I get 32mpg so has been a great long distance cruiser.
I’m 16 and my first car I just recently got is an excellent condition 1994 Audi 90 B4 standard transmission, it’s a blast to drive and from what i’ve heard very reliable
Oh boy audi 90 b4? I remember my older brother having it back in 2005 when i was a little kid. This thing won't let you down, if something in it is gonna break, it's gonna be everything. But till that moment you can make like 450K kilometers at least
I have a 2015 a3 2.0 T with Apr stg1 apr intake turbo muffler delete and miltek exhaust and absolutely love it. The Audi community is also great and a great resource.
I own a 2018 S5 sportback and that thing is amazing. The looks outside are beautiful and on the inside it's sleek and modern, the performance with that exhaust note is lovely, Quattro AWD for all weather conditions, 4 doors plus a big hatch style trunk. It's a great all around car for everyday use and I've had no problems with it 👌
I think Mercedes is the best, it looks the coolest and they actually have a vehicle in every segment... The Mercedes x-class, metris and sprinter van all those SUVs and sedans, coupes, a wagon and a hatch back.
My family has owned over 10 BMW's combined and I gotta admit we are all highly satisfied. For my 18th birthday I got my granddads old 5 series (530d)( with -50k miles on it) and it still works like a charm as it now has 160k miles on it. It's still a pleasure to drive over 130 mph with it, behaves stable and inside notices aren't to loud. Sadly recently they electronics started acting up and I can't really afford the repairs as a college kiddo ( left side front speakers and PDC) but all the driving components still work great. I am especially happy about the precision of the steering
My dream car is the Audi S6! I loved Audi ever since I test drove it at a dealer back in 2019. Changed my hole perception of luxury branded cars. Ever since that test drive I’ve loved Audi🔥 the drive is simply impeccable! I also currently work at an Audi dealer and the way clients love and take care of there favorite car is mind blowing.
Audi is the leader just thinking of the quattro group B rally car in the 80s what a beast!!!! Having the pleasure of seeing it perform in RAC rally truly awesome.Great video too keep um coming.
I'm an old dude, and I prefer being driven, so comfort is key criteria and thus have no interest in actual sports car. My choice then becomes sedans and currently own a 2020 A8 and the 2021 A6. Have bought all kinds of cars in the past including the other German brands. My priority has always been style and tech and the aspect of sportiness to go with it. I may have bought the new Mercedes S class had the 2021 model launched a year earlier when I was out to replace my old ones.
I think the reliability isn't bad at Audi. There where some failes like the 2.0 TFSI (which they fixed so now it's pretty good), but they are good at building turbocharged engines. So don't be scared to buy a TDI engine from Audi, in my experience they where good.
Also got a mercedes E350 AMG and it is awesome. Had A6 3,0 TDI Quattro Avant before and it was superb as well. These are the two best car manufacturers in the world.
I can defiantly say out of all 3 of these brands bmw interiors are defiantly the simplest but defiantly the highest quality interiors out of the bunch, i can say the audis and mercs do have nicer looking cabins but on the flip side that's why you want a bmw, just to drive, dont want too many "pretty" distractions, most of the "nice" looking trims on my merc reflect sunlight in yours eyes etc. i have owned all 3 but currently have a 07 e93 bmw and the interior quality of that is much better than my 2015 mercedes e class amg, audis and mercs feel cheap inside.
I have an Audi 2020 Q5 PHEV and i am super pleased with it. 362HP so plenty of power and charge 27-32 miles of battery range at home charge is enough for here so for 2023 only 2 fuel stops for totalling $49.
I know someone with an e60 m5 with 300000km and has his original rod bearings there not that bad but when you abuse them like most of us do including me than there troublesome but the bmw 6cilinder the core engine is indestructible
I’ve had this 328 xdrive for 3 years and just rolled over 100k miles. I’ve just changed oil and tires so far! 🤷♂️ I want a 5 series but love the Merc E 400 as well.

Hi. Bought a 2011 Audi A5 6 speed (yup manual) with 20 K at the end of 2012. Upgraded the struts to Bilstein B6 @ 55k. Still a pleasure to drive and, at this point, irreplaceable. Other than spark plugs at 70K, just annual oil changes.... Still get compliments on the classic looks. and offers for when I'm ready to sell...
#bmwforlife
Yes, I’ve had 3 and still have 2
E46 330Ci
E46 M3
F30 328i
Yes I would buy the others as well.
Joshua Whatley is the e46 reliable?
Christian Barri absolutely! Granted, yes you need to fix any issues quickly to avoid new ones popping up, but any BMW is that way. I’ve loved both e46s I have owned. The M3 has 132k and runs like it was 25k. #goodmaintenancegoesalongway
Christian Barri and the 330Ci had 267k when I traded it in when we needed an SUV for the kids.
BMW GANG 🔥🔥
@@justo2640 I have an E46 330ci. It's one of the best BMWs you can get for a great price. However, some things to look out for: Replace entire cooling system, and get an aluminum DISA valve flap. Those are the main issues you can get, and maybe the CCV system. However, if you fix it all yourself, it's not very expensive. Beautiful car!
My dad has a Audi A6 2.7 TDI quattro. That car can do anything. I love it .#audi Edit:Its a 2006 model and limo chasy
what color?
@@IdealMediaChannel The color is black .
BMW and Merceds can do anything better!
I have a Mercedes CLA 250 and I love it . Just got the 45,000 mark. I have had no problems and it still drives smooth 😁
Upgrade that to the 2020 next gen version. Will be car of the year
Fay Ahmad why?
It has a Renault engine lol
Give it a few more years and it’ll be a headache
Yes Renault engines are ok up to around 70-80k
Audi's are something else 💪💪💪
I'm not so sure about this video... Audi is still a front heavy understeerer because the engine is out beyond the front axle so they aren't nearly as sporty as BMW and Mercedes... although Audi does have its major strengths. BMW lost their driving dynamic mojo but they still are a more athletic machine than an Audi. The new m340i xdrive has 50/50 weight distribution and it does the rear biased all wheel drive thing very well. And the Mercedes with their glorious sounding exhausts out of those AMG motors, and they have the best looking interior out of the bunch when optioned correctly.
Ofc here comes the completely unbiased guy with the m car profile pic
@@svroadster1130 I definitely am biased, but I still see the same pattern. Audi is probably the most reliable and has a little better all wheel drive as far as safe driving goes. Their engines are out ahead of the front axle which is why they don't handle as well as they could on a track, but they are incredible under normal and sporty driving, I loved driving the new S4 (very confidence inspiring) but I didn't track it.
BMW definitely lost their mojo over the last 6 years... excepting only the M3/M4 and the 2 series. They have always had amazing engines. But with their new generation of vehicles, they are doing a MUCH better job! I drove the 340i and I liked the S4 much more, but then I drove the new M340i and it is even better than the S4. And you can't beat their Xdrive that feels like RWD.
I still cannot get over the sound of mercedes though. The C43 amg sounds so amazing! They are definitely the least reliable but that sound is intoxicating! The m performance exhaust on the m340i is quite amazing as well, just heard it about two weeks ago and was impressed, but overall I think mercedes still has the better interior design and exhaust sound.
I would love having any of the new Audi's, BMW's or Mercedes... as long as they aren't the front drive platform models lol.
All 3 have great cars. I like Audi’s and don’t really notice the understeer since I’m not throwing my car into corners on my daily commute. For me a car should provide the best balanced experience since we spend a huge chunk of our lives inside of them and for me Audi wins. For pure performance I do concede BMW is the winner and the AMGs sound like a dream.
Okay but bro... nobody is drifting with their audi. And people with a awd bmw arent either.
Audi is the best overall for sure. Im just happy
Agreed. Turbo charging, electric brakes and the weird steering has taken away from the driving experience of modern bmw's. Still the sportiest out of these three especially when comparing awd models
I’ve got an AMG and an Audi and I tend to grab the keys to the Audi a bit more
Mr JKL cuz the AMG is a bit more precious ..
Love my A6 3.0. Incredible traction, just point car toward a horizon and go!
Mike TheRandFan nope, it’s not. They slap amg on almost everything now
@@coldhardtruth333 unsure if he owns the AMG and Audi or @mr JKL LELLELELELLLLL
Which Audi? Which AMG?
To be honest Audi is an amazing car for the price. I went to bmw and merc. For my first car and they were 10k more than what audi was giving me...i also fell in love withe the driving position of the Audi .....the merc felt too high up and the beamer was a little tight . I bought a A3 8v and love it
The naturally aspirated version of the BMW sounds a lot better to me
The turbocharged one doesn't sound that good to me
Tbh, if you hadn't said that the first car was naturally aspirated, I'd have thought that it was the turbocharged BMW
yeah the naturalyl aspirated v8's sound SOOOO good!
E90 bmw it’s one of the worst bmw engine
It all depends on the exhaust... the video quality was really poor comparing the two. Get the M4 with the Performance exhaust and it will blow you away.
Audi !
Reynaldo Perez you have nothing to explain why it’s a terrible engine. if anything it’s one of the best. Fit perfectly for its chassis, yeah first production year was a little rough but they still get much love, all the years after we’re updated with little things to keep them modern but yet still a classic, and the S65/S85 won so many engine awards. Categorize “terrible”, in reliability or performance? Because in both it wins, I own one and had no problems with it except for stuff I expected to go out when the parts need replacement, such as the throttle bodies and idle control valve, which was covered by warranty. If your on a warranty with this engine you will be okay, S85 engines were higher performance and didn’t get as much warranty benefits, and you were more likely to have a problem with that than the S65 which hardly breaks. I have 85K on it and plan on putting more on. My bearings show little to no wear and I’m on stock bearings. Don’t believe the myths you hear on forum sights.
Im a very big audi and vw fan so defently audi and my dream car is audi rs4 b5
To be honest audi makes one of the most amazing looking cars ever BUT its not the best luxury brand BUT its one HELL of a car brand always love audi. But what's not to like
Yeah...Always loved the Audi Design
Shawn mustang what do you mean not best luxury? their luxury A8, has foot message, what luxury car has that lol

@@robertoling7708 I still think Audi's look better than the brands you named
@@robertoling7708 of the ones you named, aston martins are definitely some of the best looking cars on the road. audis beat them at interiors tho
I love the RS lines,beautiful cars
I respectfully disagree with the comment about Mercedes not having excellent interiors anymore. They are the most beautiful and high quality you can get for the price. Take the A class for example, it is the entry level and it comes with many trims and a better interior than the other 2 brands by a fair amount.
mercedes looks nice but the quality isn't as good as the other two. press around and it squeaks.
@@TTH-fi8hr Exactly, they look good at first but the materials are actually worse than BMW and Audi use.
Im sorry but look at BMW individual. It destroyes both brands. Or look at the cars with the idrive 7 it terms of tech it killes them.
Love my Audi!
same here
i don’t understand his reasoning why he chose audi, perfect balance of premium, sporty and luxury ... don’t all 3 of them have that?
I thought it was supposed to be about reliability
Random Stuff me too, but doesn’t Audi have oil burning issues? Wouldn’t that not be a knock against reliability?
Audi is just great. Come on man. Admit it
@@oven5997 for theyr AWD?
He's obviously an Audi fanboy!
Manual Audi A4 b8 owner here🙌🏼
Great car and I love it so much but within two months of ownership it was already showing multiple problems
Considering BMW has ruined some of their cars just to "compete" with Mercedes (1 series with FWD) and Audi could never really keep up as a premium brand unless you count premium prices and workshop costs, not to mention the production of the TT and the R8 is about to stop, I'd always pick the Mercedes. They've been building great cars since forever, even if I'm not a huge fan of the newer ones.
Corvolet5 the rs7 tho!!,
@@Sak-zo1ui Looks nice, but it's still a brick.
What do you mean Bmw ruined their 1 series just to compete with the A Class. Mercedes literally made the cla and a class with fwd despite it being in contradiction to Mercedes tradition. And furthermore the 1 series, a class, cla, were all and answers to the audi a3.
@@TheWeedOperation Look at the brand new 1 series and 2 series gran coupe. Both have the same stats as the A and CLA, the M versions have AWD and 2 liter 306 hp engines just like the (CL)A35 models from Mercedes. Audi doesn't even have a saloon below the A4 or A5 (A3 Berline doesn't count). The A Class never had RWD so there was nothing "ruined".
Corvolet5 true but its the only one i would buy lol
6:18 Yes... well it was actually my father's Mercedes S280 (W108).
I still miss it 😥.
To be honest if I could buy it back, I wouldn't hesitate.
That era were real Mercedes, not Chrysler or as they are today.. Renault
Lovin my 2018 RS 3, my happy place every time I drive it!
I’ve had 3 Mercedes, a ‘74 240D, an ‘80 300D, and a 2003 E500. The diesels were rock solid cars that would run forever. The E500 had the gas fumes in the cabin problem and was constantly torn up. What an expensive piece of junk. With the moldy AC problems in recent models, I just don’t trust Mercedes. They don’t build a good car any more, and they don’t stand behind their product.
I've spent $25,000 repairing and maintaining my e60 but I still love it to bits. My next car will definitely be a BMW.
M5? God damn that's a lot of money.
U are lucky if u haven't bought it below 10k dollars but e60 is just great car it's magnet of auto fans the speed,sound,drifting ... this is just fantastic car but the big problem of this car is that this is very unreliable if I want to buy family car I would buy e39 it's sport car and some drift and accelerating loses u lot of money in repairs
@@Dance1617 It doesn’t have to be a M5 just because it is an E60. That is just the name of 5 series which were produced between 2003-2010.
I've been intrigued by Audi since the 90's and finally getting one this week. (an e-tron, since I'm a fan of EVs)
We used to have 2 Teslas but wanted one of our two cars to be about luxury/space/fit & finish, so that'll be the Audi, and our remaining Tesla is a Model 3 Performance and that'll be the one with range and speed.
Looking forward to finally owning an Audi!
Thats amazing, how is it going with your etron??
E tron gt is sexy af
You buy Mercedes for interior, bmw for performance, and Audi for both
Vivek wtf u don’t know about the car
haha well said!
I think all 3 brands are great and it really comes down to individual preference. Love my Audi Q5.
Exactly.
I just got a 2017 Audi A4 last month for my 18th bday and I’m very happy with it
no shit you are, all those 3 brands are decent in cars, people gotta stop trying to compare everything and appreciate every positive on each one, as on everything in life, tnx
Ony Ultra PREACH DUDE
Nice shit my first car was German too. Volkswagen Jetta 2002 😭😭. That was like 3 years ago. I got a Benz now though.
I owned the 3 brands more than once and Audi has definitely the best interior quality and ergonomics period. But it doesn’t draw attention as much as a Mercedes
Let me guess youre talking about some pre 2010 merc vs a newer audi
I've owned a BMW 325 2.8 / 6.
I've owned a Audi 2.7T / 6.
I've owned a Volkswagen 2.8 / 6 Passat.
I've owned two Volvos S60Rs.
Never owned a Mercedes Benz. I was smitten on their 190E AMG, C-36 and C-43! 👍
Jamie Smith get an e55 and you’ll ditch bmw and Audi
@@AlexHernandez-xh8ei Sounds like a plan.👍
Omg all are very wealthy ......
Mercedes are probably my favorite of the bunch
I owned two BMWs. The first was mediocre the second BMWNA had to buy back. I’ve owned Mercedes since then and they are head and shoulders above BMW
Well, I’ve owned two E55’s, a couple of e36 m3’s and an e 46. Gotta try an Audi. This helps in the search. Here we go....
The interiors... where you spend 95% of your time.. are primo! Lets check one out soon!
They’re great and fun ’til they break, rev up your engines!
In other words, buy a toyota camry or a lexus instead . 😄
Earthlight Lexus ❤️
or just get a 94 Celica
I’m new to the German brands always been hesitant to buy a German car for the long term reliability and maintenance cost but not to long ago bought my 1st BMW E46 and so far I like it 😂
Purchasing an Audi A4 Premium Quattro tomorrow 🙌🏾💪🏾 Will be my first Audi/ first purchased car.
Fantastic choice, got the same car, how're you liking it so far?
I own a BMW 2 series since last July and I wouldn't ever switch for anything else. It's just pure joy every time I look at it, and a blast to drive.
MERCEDES always!!!! ❤
Audi!!!!

Alpha romero 🔥
four rings forever! I own 2 Audis can't stop smiling every time I drive them!
Buying myself a C-Class coupe in a few months - I feel it's a much better looking car than the A5 and 4 Series. Reliability wise, I never hear anything going majorly wrong with Mercedes compared to BMW and occasionally Audi.
Worked at a high-end dealership 1995-2000. I fell in love with Audi (dealerships bread and butter) especially Quattros and came to appreciate Porsche. I've now owned two Audi's, 1984 Audi 4000cs, and 1996 A6 - drove 10 years 350k miles - maintenance but not a lot of repairs. I've driven BMW's and Mercedes, but have never owned.
owning a mercedes c class, lovely drive, frugal, and i keep looking back when i park the car
I owned a BMW 335i convertible. Great vehicle for the first 4 years but reliability started to deteriorate at the time my warranty expired. The cost of maintenance started to pile up so I sold the car for a more reliable Lexus. But boy do I miss the German-engineered cars so I am thinking about an Audi Q8 in my near future.
Audi has the best 4wheel drive
Audi forever❤️❤️❤️
I owned an Audi S4 and currently own a CLA45 AMG I had zero mechanical issues with the Audi and owned it until 68k miles currently at 40k miles on the Cla45 and going strong! I loved the Quattro all wheel drive.
I'd choose BMW. When I was 5 year old I started to memorialize the car brands, BMW was 1st and the most drawn car logo. Recently I had a dream. The dream was about I buyed a M2 competition, when I buyed I felt something indescribable. I could compare to that when you feel like you can die happily.
Cool story...
Hope you buy it one day. but dying happy meant to live good, contribute to society and understand than there is a creator to whom we have to return with all our good and bad accounts.
Recently bought a 2018 Audi TTRS. 11k miles. Wow I was shocked at how fast and solid this car is! My first ever Audi and it is amazing and rare!
If I were to own a car of one of those brands, I'd personally go with an Audi, due to the AWD system that Audi's have these days
İ too
I agree
Do it best bang for buck esp the Audi V6 engine models
I’ve had 4 BMWs with the most recent being an N54 335XI. I LOVED that car but recently switched to a B8.5 Audi S4 and quickly realizing why people fanboy over Audi’s.
BMW 5 series 🔥🔥
الله يحمي بي ام😍😍🥰😘😘
After owning 2 BMWs, 2 Mercedes and 2 VAG products, BMW gave me the least amount of problems. In fact the BMWs I had were more reliable than a Honda Civic I once owned. My current one has 132,000 miles and only needed a water pump. Last Mercedes I owned was a 2002 W203 and it was basically an oil colander. Never liked VAG cars after owning a GolF GTI with multiple issues.
I've owned two Audi A6's but recently bought a Merc C-Class and I'm extremely happy about it, even though it's smaller than the A6 counterpart (E-Class). The interior and overall look of it is superb in my opinion.
Wouldn’t the A4, C- Class, and 3 series be the direct competitor?
@@bigbtv3773 yes
I bought A5 in 02/12 and have done more than 152000m and has never given me a single problem (apart from replacing bulbs). When it's time to scrap it eventually, I'll probably cry for sure.
would love to own a bmw
Not really reliable
I own a 2014 Mercedes E350 Coupe and love it. Been a solid reliable, quick and comfortable on long road trips where this model belongs. Even though having to use premium fuel, at 80mph I get 32mpg so has been a great long distance cruiser.
BMW gang

I’m 16 and my first car I just recently got is an excellent condition 1994 Audi 90 B4 standard transmission, it’s a blast to drive and from what i’ve heard very reliable
Oh boy audi 90 b4? I remember my older brother having it back in 2005 when i was a little kid. This thing won't let you down, if something in it is gonna break, it's gonna be everything. But till that moment you can make like 450K kilometers at least
Irony died countless times when I had Porche ad in between of this video😂
I have a 2015 a3 2.0 T with Apr stg1 apr intake turbo muffler delete and miltek exhaust and absolutely love it. The Audi community is also great and a great resource.
As of January 2019 audi 4 quattro it hold title no recalls driving perfection call me Audi lol
I own a 2018 S5 sportback and that thing is amazing. The looks outside are beautiful and on the inside it's sleek and modern, the performance with that exhaust note is lovely, Quattro AWD for all weather conditions, 4 doors plus a big hatch style trunk. It's a great all around car for everyday use and I've had no problems with it 👌
I think Mercedes is the best, it looks the coolest and they actually have a vehicle in every segment... The Mercedes x-class, metris and sprinter van all those SUVs and sedans, coupes, a wagon and a hatch back.
My family has owned over 10 BMW's combined and I gotta admit we are all highly satisfied. For my 18th birthday I got my granddads old 5 series (530d)( with -50k miles on it) and it still works like a charm as it now has 160k miles on it. It's still a pleasure to drive over 130 mph with it, behaves stable and inside notices aren't to loud. Sadly recently they electronics started acting up and I can't really afford the repairs as a college kiddo ( left side front speakers and PDC) but all the driving components still work great. I am especially happy about the precision of the steering
I like Audi but i do not trust them...
My dream car is the Audi S6! I loved Audi ever since I test drove it at a dealer back in 2019. Changed my hole perception of luxury branded cars. Ever since that test drive I’ve loved Audi🔥 the drive is simply impeccable! I also currently work at an Audi dealer and the way clients love and take care of there favorite car is mind blowing.
Audi is the leader just thinking of the quattro group B rally car in the 80s what a beast!!!! Having the pleasure of seeing it perform in RAC rally truly awesome.Great video too keep um coming.
I'm an old dude, and I prefer being driven, so comfort is key criteria and thus have no interest in actual sports car. My choice then becomes sedans and currently own a 2020 A8 and the 2021 A6. Have bought all kinds of cars in the past including the other German brands. My priority has always been style and tech and the aspect of sportiness to go with it. I may have bought the new Mercedes S class had the 2021 model launched a year earlier when I was out to replace my old ones.
I own a 05 audi A4 i love it. Haven't had any issues with it
Same mine. Audi A4 quattro with 106k miles on it.
I think the reliability isn't bad at Audi. There where some failes like the 2.0 TFSI (which they fixed so now it's pretty good), but they are good at building turbocharged engines. So don't be scared to buy a TDI engine from Audi, in my experience they where good.
I second you have audi a4 2 litre never disappointed me, pretty reliable
We have a Mercedes and it is AMAZING!!
Also got a mercedes E350 AMG and it is awesome. Had A6 3,0 TDI Quattro Avant before and it was superb as well. These are the two best car manufacturers in the world.
I've owned 3 Audis. 1 A8L and 2 S6s. Love them all.
The best and my Favorit is Audi 💪
I can defiantly say out of all 3 of these brands bmw interiors are defiantly the simplest but defiantly the highest quality interiors out of the bunch, i can say the audis and mercs do have nicer looking cabins but on the flip side that's why you want a bmw, just to drive, dont want too many "pretty" distractions, most of the "nice" looking trims on my merc reflect sunlight in yours eyes etc. i have owned all 3 but currently have a 07 e93 bmw and the interior quality of that is much better than my 2015 mercedes e class amg, audis and mercs feel cheap inside.
I own Mercedes w124 wagon 1991. Its one of the best cars ever made
I have an Audi 2020 Q5 PHEV and i am super pleased with it. 362HP so plenty of power and charge 27-32 miles of battery range at home charge is enough for here so for 2023 only 2 fuel stops for totalling $49.
My dream car is the KING, the AUDI R8 V10 PLUS 😍😍😍
This car is just understeering and the much more luxury M8 is faster than this R8 xD
So your Audi can't be a King...
I know someone with an e60 m5 with 300000km and has his original rod bearings there not that bad but when you abuse them like most of us do including me than there troublesome but the bmw 6cilinder the core engine is indestructible
Picking up my 1st audi tomorrow, so hyped
i kid you not i still look forward to driving it every day even after having it for over 9 months
I’ve had this 328 xdrive for 3 years and just rolled over 100k miles. I’ve just changed oil and tires so far! 🤷♂️ I want a 5 series but love the Merc E 400 as well.
