Car choice, Merc C220Cdi, Audi A4.

If he goes for the Audi and has a warranty issue, good luck. Audi warranty = No warranty in my view (patronising 'they are all like that' 'there is nothing wrong sir' comments come as standard.............and then there is the little oil consumption matter. Audi 2.0litre diesels don't come standard with a spare bottle of oil because of Audi's generousity.

Other than that, the Audi service experience is pretty good (certainly comparable to MB), the product is well designed and thought out, and the drive is reasonable, if not a little choppy.

I would never buy another Audi due to reasons first stated, but if it is only for 18 months, and company car, no harm giving it a go. I had an Alfa Romeo as a company car once

If someone else is picking up the bill it would be rude to choose anything else!

I have had two Audis. Both gave me backache on long journeys. Merc seats and ride is far more acceptable to my body.

I would agree with this too. For me it is like the Audi lumbar support is in the wrong place on my spine.
