I think they (you mentioned) drive very similar as well, but the difference in overall build quality (i'm not talking about interiors only) is significant. Audi can share with VW whatever they want, but the difference is there and obvious.
Anyhow, the price difference is crazy for sure. Kowalski does have a point, but here's how i look on that: most people lease their cars (speaking about my country and myself) and buying a car of 29 or 35k won't make too much difference concerning your monthly annuity. Pay 50€ monthly more and drive a fully loaded Audi. 50€ ain't some BIG money after all, afaic. Oh, i'm talking about 7 years of leasing, that's what most people do here, so did i. You can of course (if you have good relationship - aka paying monthly annuity on time
) change the contract after 2 years and buy a brand new car without problems.
I know with conditions they offer me i don' think i'll ever buy a car for cash or any other way.
