This is true!
However, I value the euphoric sound of that 5 cylinder engine over 90% of cars out there today - and Audi makes a hell of a dual clutch. The manual isn’t a requirement for me to enjoy a car.
It may be closer than you think. What a lot of people don’t realize is that the 10/11th gen Civic chassis is really, really fucking good. It’s underrated as hell. You can compare all the specs, but you can’t drive a spec sheet. The Civic is just a hoot to drive with a light body and a really high limit before anything feels remotely sketchy. You can drive it 10/10 all the time. I’ve seen a fair share of people move on from the Civic and end up regretting it.
Dude, I'm from Europe, Honda has always been overpriced here compared to US and Audi sells some surprisingly low end models that you also never see in US. Also Mugen doesn't exist here. It's only US phenomena that Honda is now expensive and Audi is "cheap". You also forget that Audi isn't as special brand here as in US. Used A8s sell for next to nothing. You can find a running and roadworthy ones for as cheap as 2500 EUR. Anyone can afford that, ironically Passat costs more than A8 often and if you want Accord of similar age, it's going to cost more than Passat or A8. Also brand new Audi A1 1.0l TFSI manual is literally cheaper than Honda Jazz Hybrid CVT by 1k EUR, they are both cheapest models of each brand.
I’m not, I’m saying comparing a low end model with a limited performance car isn’t a valid comparison.
Why would anyone compare pricing on an Audi A1 1.0 and a Civic Type R? That’s like comparing an A4 to a Lambo.
And my point was that Audi isn't seen as premium brand as it seemingly is in US. It's completely mundane everyday brand. Meanwhile Honda is a tiny bit exotic brand, clearly not very popular brand and you always pay premium even for low end models.
> It's completely mundane everyday brand.
This just patently isn't true though, it's absolutely a premium brand. Being able to buy a hugely depreciated A8 doesn't change that.
I would agree with you, if I didn't see like 20-30% of my country faipy driving A4s or A6s. Even poor country folk drive something like Audi 80 or 100. To me Audi is boring and mundane brand for the most part. Very literally just a nicer VW, except few models, which are rare.
It should be a bit more expensive considering that the Type R in UK is the best spec out of the other regions. It has parking sensors and the rear seats are alcanatara. So it should be a bit higher. But 14k more is a bit much.
