dear all, am looking to buy an audi a4 vs the vw passat cc, wad im interested to know is the performance of the car and the after sales servive, any1 can share from their experience

audi a4 1.8 or 2.0?

Passat for comfortable and value for money.
A4 for sporty,cools,looks and smaller size

Audi car is better ....while three company combine into one brand to manufacturing the car....as the vw is only a company to make!
so you think which is better?

I am very found of the passat coz very strong physical outlook as Audi also the same. Hard to different it as you if you like for Young and dynamic looking or feelings then Audi is for you.

Passat is for business looks i mean executive type. Audi car design is very sexy and now they are many people copy their design of the head light.

Get the sexier Passat.

The Passat CC.

our friend did not say which 1.8 or 2.0 ???
I assume he or she is comparing both 2.0 ???

As Passat is 2.0 vs Audi saloon 2.0 Price is lots of diff :-0

audi a4 b8 =)!

sorry for not making it clear...its audi a4 1.8 TFSI and the passat cc 2.0 TSI, heard many good things bout the audi a4 but the service centre seems to be lacking in some areas, the passat cc is a great car, but the rear light seems a bit korean-ish

Still hesiting?

I will pick...

VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT CC
CAR OF THE YEAR 2010: Most Award"

1) Best Performances car under value RM300k
2) International Engine of the Year
3) Premium Executive Car of The Year 2010
4) New Straits Times/ Maybank Car of the Year Awards 2010
5) Auto Car Asean Award: Compact Luxury Sedan
6) Good Design Award
7) Overall Car of the Year 2010
8) Euro Car body award 2009
9) Most Improved Brand in Malaysia: Volkswagen

and many more..

Attractive features and performances
Now come with 5 seaters (last time was 4 seaters) ...and 5 yrs warranty giving u peace of mind

"but the rear light seems a bit korean-ish"...

I had the same thinking like you at 1st ...try to judge that car at different angle..

If it were me, I would take the Audi because purely on it's look alone. Can't help but see the Audi in such a sexy and appealing way

from performance alone a4 1,8t is slower than passat cc 2.0t
not sure about others, passat's seat seems cool in color

I do love the exterior very much, indeed very nice and sexy especially these:

Xenon plus headlights with adaptive lights and LED
daytime running lights
LED rear tail lamps
Exterior mirrors, electrically folding/adjustable/heated
Exterior mirrors with integrated LED turn signals
Automatic headlight-range adjustment
Front (halogen) and rear fog lights
Headlight washers

Talking about the LED lights and the LED rear tails lamps. They done a good jobs here. You can see now many people buy the LED light and follow the way of put the LED on the Front and Rear side of the car.

Beside the Audi have 7 speed auto gear.

damm nice.

Added on February 4, 2011, 9:28 amoh are you trying to say that the Audi A4 2.0 one is not a Turbo version

This post has been edited by sfotsy: Feb 4 2011, 09:28 AM

how bout' the maintenance cost for Audi A4 B82.0T?

the a4 b8 sold here is 1.8T, and then 2.0T....etc
no 2.0 non turbo
the 2.0T produces 200hp and 280Nm which is similar as the passat cc, im not sure but i think do share the same engines

oh i see, well the price between them is very much one is two hundred plus and three hundred plus

anyway thanks.

hmm....but wad bout after sales service and all? any1 can share?

well, it shall be all right. You know their car sales is not so good therefore in-order to fight the others car brand is give a good service on after sale service. You can see they are very good at this, while when your car is almost to the end of the warranty, they will help you to change those parts that is faulty. It is amazing !! This is what i call good services.

im going to go test drive the vw passat cc...the car seems too good to be true..

why not consider Mercedes-Benz C200 CGI ?
Luxury , performance & comfort all together

don't worry about the new C-class will be out anytime soon , coz it will get facelift for 2011 , should be due for replacement in 2014-2015, if the 7 yr life cycle applies

i tested the merc c class, sorry but the performance is just like a toyota, slow and unresponsive, the lag is just too apparent,

the audi i like it is because
a) it is sexy and good looking
b) unrivalled interior
c) the power comes when ever i want it
d) image

cons:
a) poor after sales service
b) long waiting time
b)

Added on February 5, 2011, 1:03 pmthe vw passat cc, y i like it

how can a Camry compare to C200 CGI in term of performance?? even the 2.4 version camry also can't match c200 cgi in term of performance




This post has been edited by AiRBooM: Feb 5 2011, 09:34 PM

Audi A4 = Honda Accord
VW Passat CC = Toyota Camry

Mean
Audi A4 = Performance
VW Passat CC = Comfort

If you are comparing the Audi A4 1.8 which is within the price range of the Passat, the Passat is more powerful. The 2.0 is a different story but it costs 60k more.

Hehe, what a weird comparison. Accord & Camry both can not compare to Audi at all. Comfort wise, passat & audi is about there, you can't feel too significant different. Performance wise, of course the 2.0 passat way better than the A4 1.8, sorry to say I am not impressed by the A4 1.8. Passat truly a value buy when compared to 2.0 Merce, BMW & Audi. TS, i am very much like you doing some info search on the next purchase. However, Passat & A4 1.8 both not in my consideration list. I've shortlisted C250 & IS250. A4 2.0 on the other hand is great, but the price just too expensive imo. I like IS250 becos of its interior and it is not that much otr too. Anyway, to answer your question, passat should be the one to go for (resell value could be worst than audi though). But most importantly, you must buy a car you have the feel and like the most. Otherwise, you will keep regretting even though if you are driving the best car in the world but u just don't like it.

Hmm, correct me if I'm wrong here, but are you aware that the Passat CC is only a 4-seater? That seems to be a deal-breaker for some.

I know that there is a 5-seater option in some other parts of the world, but not sure about Malaysia.

all the new passat cc after november or december are all 5 seaters

Awesome!

Nice discussion here. I also have the same headache here as with the price tag if passat cc or A4 1.8, i able to get a nice recond BMW 5 Series or Merc C Class. However, i do feel Audi 1.8 lack Of power after test drive.

where did u test drive the car? glenmarie's a4 is not available for test drive.

If not a comparison but how I interpret between the car, like Audi A4 vs Passat CC same as Accord Vs Camry. After I test drive above last time but I end up with A4 2.0 TFSI Quattro S-Line for my wife. But Passat CC still in my next purchase list for ICE project.. either Passat CC or IS250??

well, try not to touch the BMW in malay we call Banyak Makan Wang


Mercedes C Class....famous for the distributor that always kacau!! Very costly to change a new one.

Added on February 5, 2011, 4:00 pmI do like give some advise here while i am not helping Audi or VW.

Actually both of them are good car. Buyer should know that both of them are good car and while the car is brand new is ok only when after when the car is old. You may face some difficulty on getting servicing parts as fast as our Japanese car that is easy to get. You may need sometime to get.

Now days the car are equip with lots of electrical parts and component. The more newer of the car more difficult to maintain or taking care off.

When servicing the car you need to send it to specialist or the place that you get.

Actually we are worry that shall the importer does really give a good services or not. Hope they will be here when we need them.

Well now days buyer are smarter while do know what to do ? or even where to get parts? So talking how to get parts is very easy. Getting a right car that will suit your need is most important.

Audi and VW are Germans made car so that they are all right, and we can get lots of Parts from Singapore.

Passat CC for me.

I like Audi's devil eyes!

TS, perhaps this side can give you some extra info too. http://usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/cars-...e-Midsize-Cars/

well.... so do the driver....he he he

hahahaha... BMW 3 series are on top of the ranking! nais!! Ultimate Driving Machine rockss!

thanks for the info, im sorry if i offended any1 when i say the merc is similiar to a jap made, it is slow in my opinion, so merc is never in my list

tested the vw passat cc, i just love it, it is so quiet and handling is top notch,the power comes whenever you want it, so cool,

audi a4, cant get a test drive yet,

so im relly leaning for the passat cc now

Hmm..if I am you I will go for IS250 with the Mark Levinson package. Simply awesome.
Passat CC's stock comes with Dynaudios which is excellent but the ML is another league on its own.
If you do choose the Passat and if you ever want to dump the Dynaudia...pls pls pls pls PM me. I will buy it off you and fix it to my golf. : )

As much as I love the A4 I have to say.This one is a tough nut. IMHO, base A4 is nothing to shout about. If you want to be individualistic get the Passat CC. It makes so much sense. A premium range car vs base range, Passat CC wins hands down on specs and performance. No contest.
P.s so many A4s on the road..with recons coming in.
If you got money to spare...how about the A5!!!! Now that is worth

This post has been edited by gladfly: Feb 12 2011, 12:35 AM

recons coming in? dammit i should have waited...its the cc for me

between A4 1.8 and Passat CC, my vote goes to Passat CC too. Have test-driven both. Love the DSG transmission of the Passat CC. A4 1.8 CVT mana boleh lawan.

Passat CC looks so elegant...
A4 looks very sporty & stylish...

BTW I see everybody mentioning that Merc C-class CGI is slow.... Perhaps you'll tested the Kompressor version maybe & not the CGI......

This post has been edited by masz94: Apr 11 2011, 03:18 PM

AFAIK...same HP figures for the Compressor and CGI. I think torque, CGI is a little better. To me C-Class still slow..but not as slow as the 320 petrol la..that is a slow car. 320d different story all together la...

Merc C250 CGI produces 204hp 310nm torque. To some ppl it's more than adequate already.

Added on April 11, 2011, 5:10 pmby the way, i think Passat CC's nose part looks too much like a Toyota Camry.

Tested the Passat CC 2.0 tsi. Wheel spin on take off everytime since FWD. Responsiveness of car to throttle inputs is great. 6spd DSG is also fast and responsive. Sport setting on adaptive suspension is too jiggly. Normal setting gives the best ride handling compromise.

Tested the Mondeo 2.0 Ecoboost as well. 203hp 300Nm 6 speed Dual clutch. Engine is sweeter and quieter than Passat CC. Ride comfort and steering accuracy also beats Passat CC. Hmm ... this Mondeo is really comfy, quiet and yet a great drivers car! Only one thing lets down the drive .... the responsiveness just feels SLOW inspite of the dual clutch gearbox. Stomp on the accelerator and pick up feels slow at the start but picks up quickly a while later. I guess price may be around RM200K - 210K for Mondeo Ecoboost vs RM245K for Passat CC.

One other thing.... Mondeo body and doors feel real solid. Passat CC feels flimsy comparatively. After testing both, can't say which one I prefer overall..... tough choice! Wonder how is the resale value of either car since not popular choices in M'sia. Cheers.....

320i slow because it's a NA engine , compare to 320d turbocharged diesel , A4 turbocharged as well , C-class also turbo , passat CC also turbo of course the NA engine is slow.... only NA 325i and above can match those i mentioned

but the coming new 3 series F30 will equip with turbo engine , so it's fair and square now

This post has been edited by AiRBooM: Apr 26 2011, 11:21 PM

I have always loved the A4, but now VW is offering the 5yr warranty is making me lean toward VW. Went test drove the A4, no discount, no freebies no nothing...haih.

i'll go for passat..

a4 r not charming for me unless u state audi tt xD

any outcome....buyers?

Heard that the new Audi A4 1.8 TFSI facelift is already in Malaysia but havent officially launched yet. New 1.8L Turbo engine too.

1) Price increased by RM4K
2) Horsepower increased from 160 to 170HP
3) Torque increased from 250 - 320Nm
4) Fuel efficiency increased from 7.2L/100km to 5.8L/100km
5) New design DRL

Happy new year, guys. Im looking to get an audi a4 1.8t, any bros can share some views on this new car?

audi dah besepah laa kat jalan.. audi n bmw.. beli la range rover..

A friend drove the 160hp version of that 1.8, very efficient engine for a petrol. Other than that dunno. Should be a good car.

Better get the facelifted 170hp 1.8TFSI variant.

The engine has 2 injection modes, MPI & FSI. Solved the issue of carbon deposit on valves over time that haunts the earlier gen TFSI engine.

Audi A4 is a very good car and petrol consumption is only 15 sen per km for city used. I am not sure about VW Passat.
