young people will go out and finance an Audi or a Merc or BMW and then can’t even afford to put £10 in the tank, just so they can show everyone on their insta account.

the trend has flooded the market with cheap used German cars, making them accessible to nearly everyone, and the general public is still WOW’d by the bonnet bling, I’ll buy a £5.5k Audi A8 and everyone thinks I’m dealing drugs, even if they are driving a £15k Vauxhall, there is no logic to it.

I've been tied up in the Audi brand a while, I’ve done most the Germans 😬🤣 and even dabbled in a Mitsubishi 😉🤣 and I can honestly say there is plus’s and minus’s on all
sides.

I’ve just swapped my daily from a Audi C6 A6 2.0tdi Avant, to a Mk4 Mondeo 2.5t, the Mondeo looks so much newer inside, it’s quieter with regards to road noise by a considerable amount, the seats and ride are better, and the build quality of both is good overall.

So why when I say I’ve got an Audi A6 everyone looks at me like I’ve got a few quid behind me and I now say I’ve got a Mondeo and I’m some kind of pauper 🤣🤣

to be fair I don’t really have an opinion on the matter 🤣
