Audi A4 vs. Jetta
 
In regards to overall quality between a 2008 Audi A4 (2.0T) and Jetta
(SEL?), which is best and why?

I like the exterior of the Jetta better. However, Once the smaller
rear spoiler is added to the A4, it's very nice looking. Similar to
an Acura TL in its design. The Jetta interior seems nicer than the A4
(leather for both). But I'm only going buy photos.

I've read many reviews about the gasoline Jetta not being reliable.
People constantly have issues. The diesel doesn't seem to have those
problems but I don't think I want a diesel. How is reliability on the
A4 overall?

The Jetta definitely gives much more for what you pay for but I don't
know if the same quality is there. I figure after customizing, the
Jetta will run $24.5 - $25K. The A4 about $33.5K. I'll be leasing
either car. Both have a 10K/yr mileage cap. Does either lease
program allow you to put down more for a smaller monthly payment? Can
I add upgrades (customize) as part of the lease deal?

Thanks,
Brett

I own a new Jetta and like it a lot, but I have a lot of experience with
Audi's too. Overall the Audi's are simply more sophisticated cars. If
price were not an issue to me I would have gone for an A4. Dependability
should not be a consideration for you because either car will come with a
warranty that will outlast your lease terms. No doubt you get a lot of car
for the money with the Jetta, but the A4 is my choice cost aside. As for
the spoiler, I'd pay them to leave it off, but that's just me. You won't go
wrong with either car.

True but which car will keep me out of the shop most during the lease?

A Honda.

Seriously.

If you are looking for ultimate reliability, then German cars are not
your best choice.
