Reliable, German, Performance = Exsist?

[R1ckyB0bbyyy]

Can someone help me out with a year range, make and model of a German performance car that does NOT come along with quirks, headaches and repairs galore? I'm curious to see if it even exsists...

[cerfus]

well get a new M5 or M3 or 335i or S4 or E63 or C63 or 911 or GT2 and get it with a warranty. problem solved..kinda.

ehhm its all in ur head and hands, your car does what u do to it!!
Stg3 S4 FTMFW

[cerfus]

stg3 S4 is problems in my eyes but to each his own, I was going to suggest that MK4 R32's are pretty damn reliable from what I've heard, and they can be balls fast.

[tike0rz]

Any budget? If not, just get any German car with a warranty. If you do that, you'll always be put up in a rental of that specific brand. Problem solved...lol.

Most German cars are performers, but for the most part reliability is subjective to the owner.

My B5 S4 has 150k miles on it, and I've spent only $1000 in maintenance, in the 30,000 miles I've owned it. Suck on that!

anything thats not BMW IS a problem to you
and mk4 R32 is not fast they are slower then k04 1.8t i actually hung with one thruout 2,3,4 gears. so yeah Not Fast.

the '04-'05 A4 has excellent consumer ratings with very few mechanical problems overall. '02-'03 was terrible, but Audi finally got it right for the final B6 years.

oh wow yeah you got me..no actually anything thats stage 3 is sick,but a problem in my eyes. And they can be fast, they just need to be modified which once again can make reliability a problem.

uhh anything modifed is gonna give a little problem, which in reality what u get for it is not problem at all .but just stick to your inline 6

buying a german car is like playing reverse russian roulette where 5 chambers are loaded and one isn't.

Aud is currently ranked 10 on initial quality survey with JD Power. This is based on what owners deem as problems whether actual service visits or design flaws. The #1 complaint was cruise control location.


Porsche is #1 and BMW is twenty something.

[LAZY TURBO]

the words USED, GERMAN, and RELIABLE should never been in the same sentence.

[marcus1701]

Get a warranty....I'll say it again, get a warranty! When something happens you won't dread heading to the dealership and you won't have to be worried about whether they are trying to screw you out of money or not.

read my post, I said anything stage 3 is sick but modifications can equate to problems. And actually I'll stick to my V6, I6, or V8 its all good champ I don't know why your getting so touchy. I don't know why you think I like bimmers so much..

even a stg3 bycycle? am not getting touch at all, just every comment you make it has the same esence "audi and other german car not reliable only bmw is reliable"

[cerfus]

lol find me a post where I say anything like audi is not reliable but BMW wheew they are just the best. For christ sakes I dont even belong to a bmw forum, I think the most I've ever said is that I seem to have more trouble with my audi then my bmw's.thats just my experience.

If you've ever been to the avant section I have multiple threads/posts about how all I want/love right now is an B5 S4 avant, and btw I love my avant..so I hope that makes you happy.

and yes stg3 my yeti.

[MattzWarsteiner]

Warranties will steady your financials, but then you are limited on mods. << Best option if everything you try to fix turns out comicly bad.

Just get the most car for your money and pad the budget for repairs. When you've got wrench talents, ownership becomes not a balance sheet but a journey.

Hahaha I can find like 100 posts where you talk shit about Audi or glorify BMW. Maybe you should register on a Bimmer forum, we've heard enough.

[cerfus]

go waste your time finding the posts if that makes you happy, I don't give a fuck, I still own an Audi and DD it, if I really hated the car I would have gotten rid of it. And I'm sure you've heard enough big man.

Holy shit, are u guys kidding me. Fuck man there is so much bmw bashing on here is pathetic, as soon as the words BMW come out a mini war starts in the thread! You guys gotta chill, jsut beucase someone says BMW doesnt mean you have to start shooting off like.

cerfus was jsut stating that a stage 3 S4 will obviously be less reliable then a stock S4 lets say. then guy guys jsut start the bmw hating and start trash talking when he never even mentioned BMW in his dam post. tiesto + GiacGRs4 you guys gotta chill out. Maby you guys seem to trash BMW so much beucase your screatly in love with them or something. But really you guys gotta chill out. both audi and bmws are great cars, anyone that says other wise is in denial.

NOt at all , i didnt get touchy as Cerfus puts it.But check this out any modifed car will give some problem. But it is in ur hands and ur head how well u built it. just couse a MAf goes bad or got to change plugs every once in a while i dont think thats a problem or even if ur IC hosese blow .. common get real

[MTLA4]

a4=not performance+my b6 was terrible never seen a car that everything on it broke.
As for reliable german car LOL. I would say the most reliable one would be an Opel Astra(aka saturn astra red line) when it comes out. Honestly the most reliable German cars are the non performance models i.e TDI,2.slow ABA(jetta,golf), But really a Porsche 911 is reliable
