Ive owned both Audi and Subaru. Subaru feels cheaper, but I never had any mechanical or electrical issues. Audi felt very robust and well designed, but had numerous mechanical and electrical issues. If you're rich, get the Audi. If you're smart and don't care about good looks, get the Subaru.
I've owned five Audis, partly to 18 years, and never had any electrical, mechanical or other problem. Every car had more than 250k km. So it seems to be a problem of service and driver.
This is one of the best real world test I've seen. Great job guys, I only wish there was a translator option so I could understand what you were saying.
The Quattro is quite impressive in luxury and performance, but the Subaru Forester XT has to be one of the best awd vehicles on the market. The handling in unlike anything I've experienced. Honestly its crazy to even think of Subaru being compared with the likes of Audi and BMW, but this sleeper became my choice after a simple test drive in pouring down rain. No regrets!
I needed a new car when I moved to northern Idaho in 2004. My decision was made when I had a short conversation with our rural 50ish year old postwoman. I asked her if she delivered mail with her car "way up there." I was pointing to the mountain top roads. She said that her car was the only vehicle she trusted to get her up and back safely. It was an old Subaru. SO, I bought a 2009 Subaru Outback and I still have it! I have 100,000 miles on it and have had no major issues. I absolutely love it - still - to this day. If you purchase one - be careful. You will become an overconfident driver overnight - literally! This vehicle takes care of you!
All cars was tested in the same conditions. Some disciplines with ESP ON, other ESP OFF . But always for all cars equally. The cars participated in the test: Audi A4 2.0 TDI (103 kW) BMW 320 X-Drive, Mercedes-Benz 250 CDI 4Matic Subaru Legacy 2.0D. Every car had different tires . We are not in Slovakia in such a conditions that we could afford to buy the same tires for all the cars. sorry for my english. i am not the specialist.
BMW's and Audi's are on par when it comes to performance in the snow. BMW has more performance, but audi has more stability and control. So if you want to go fast, choose BMW, want to be safe and in control, choose the Audi. I want to go fast, so I will choose the BMW.
Everyone is complaining about some small details, but this is still the fairest test I've seen in a while. It's always very bias, one car goes up a hill like it's glued to the track, others slides backwards and so on. All of them were very close, it comes to preferences at this point. Don't think this will make anyone switch.
ONE work oldschool technology which vorks(btw audi was eguipped with sport suspencion, no hell bmv only for teenage rappers, got one 90;s 320 turbo 420hp in back wheels 10,8 time
Differences are not huge, so all are good cars. All AWD systems have their own pros and cons,Some AWD systems are good for track, some are good for snow , some for drifting, some for drag races etc, now depend on your choice what you want to do with your AWD system. All are no.1
I think you guys did a great real world problems test, that people would encounter on daily basis going to the mountain or during snow storms, so more less realistic. I don't understand why everyone is complaining about this test. You guys rock! Keep making videos I'm subscribing. Molodci Hlopci! I owned Subaru, 4 Matic mercedes, bmw. All have their own problems in snow. While subaru did really good, Mercedes also did good but was issue with Stability control taking over too much and overheating breakes to glowing hot after 20 minutes of sliding in snow and cant build up speed. Subaru obviously is awesome but not as comfortable.. seems like audi got little bit of both luxury and good awd system, now if they can make good reliable engines and less shitty plastics that fail with in first 6 years.
+MasterofPlay7 well not all the 4cyl turbos are great little engines and diesel once are performing well. The 3.2 and 2.8 in my experience were the shitties I've came across in terms of reliability and maintenance.
+MasterofPlay7 had the 2.8 a6 then 3.2 a6 while non died during my ownership lol I got to fix quiet a few things on the engine. On 2.8 throttle body started having issues, first one was carbon build up then second time IAC sensor went out. Then lifters failed so I sold it. Got newer 3.2 a6 was a beast then started having electrical issues until timing guide failed. Now that was a pain.
budymoney oh, I thought audi is pretty reliable, it's the top euro car which ranked number 3 or 4 in the 2016 auto consumers report (#1 and 2 of course being Toyota and lexus....)
and once you pay the auto repair bill on the germans....you will choose Subaru again. I am on my 4th Subaru...this time a 08 Tribeca.......never ever had any kind of issues with none of my subaru's :)
Fred Meyer You had your 4th Subaru? lol. I have my first Audi for 7 years and its 20 years old. What bill you idiot? You had 4 same cars in your life and still buy another of this shit? hahahahha.
snip84 I had my first Audi for 7 years and it had just as many problems - including a significant front-end recall issue whose case I helped contribute to (which took 6+ years to push through Audi) - as any other new car I've bought. However, the repairs were far more expensive for the Audi than any USA or Japanese brand I've also owned. Decent car when it's all working well and built like a tank, but it wasn't a very satisfying experience overall - so, I no longer invest in Audis. By comparison, I'm now ordering my 4th Subaru (i.e., others members of the family had two others), my prior one being 10.5 years old and still in overall very good shape - I just decided to downsize and get features that I want for the next 10+ years. Not as refined as an Audi, but I have found Subarus a heck of a lot more satisfying (and practical) for the money.
Fred Meyer Yeah tell the 245,000 mile 325is (wailed on for over a year, only need front control arm bushings) or the 290,000 mile 9000 Turbo (wailed on constantly for two years; just needed new alternator, swaybar links and brakes) that
Tires its a VERY IMPORTANT factor in test like this!!! These tests are great, but if the tires are different, or stock it will greatly affect the performance of any car in snow conditions!
Хорошие машины! И каждая по своему, а если ещё и правильная прокладка между рулём и сиденьем да в сочетании с хорошей резиной так вообще огонь!!!!!!!!!
Why didn't they try Subaru Impreza?? That would have been interesting, BMW AUDI and MERCEDES have battled each other while others made huge advances in technology. I own a BMW now, previously owned Audi, Rover, Alfa Romeo, Opel, Jeep, only drove a Subaru Impreza once and I love that car:))
Excellent video. I didn't understand the language, but you guys covered a wide variety of tests and tests were easy to understand. I'm a long time Subaru owner. This is the first good comparison I've come across comparing the major awd systems. It's good to see the xDrive win. It's a great system. I'm familiar with the older 5-speed and 6-speed STI, and they are somewhat dated. Newer ABS based helps, but torque vectoring isn't in Subaru. It would be nice to see a Honda SH-AWD tested.
Other than Subarus all wheel drive system it shouldn't even be compared to the likes of Benz, bmw, and Audi. Personally I think Quattro from Audi has the best all wheel drive. Subaru would come in 2nd.. I never have to shovel my Audi out even if we got 2 feet of snow, the quattro plows through anything. I can drive 70mph in a blizzard with no effects on the quattro whatsoever. Also have no problem making it up my hill which is pretty steep, it makes it up in ice and snow no problem. I'm flying up my hill while other cars are sliding back down lol
That depends on the model year (not sure what model year these are). Legacy and Outback for many model years have different AWD configurations. For instance, on a lot of model years, Legacy has no limited-slip differential in either front or rear, while Outback can have it on either one or both front and rear differentials depending on the year. Subaru AWD components actually vary widely from model to model, and year to year despite all of them being a symmetrical configuration.
BMW is best road car. Subaru is best off road car. Audi and Merc like to take swings at BMW. It's amusing and cute at best but we all know who really owns the road. ///M for life
great test! tires do count a lot. and in pulling test the audi and bmw has a bit of advantage since they are wagons and havier. anyway best winter test ever. subtitle would be nice
witajcie! fajny test aut, ale nie bardzo się zdgadzam który wygral bo zbyt dużo zależy od opon, i amortyzacji. mercedes to jest raczej auto luksusowe niż sportowe, ale miło było widziec jakieś porównanie aut w zimie. niewymieniam swojego MB na subie za nic, ani BMW :P pozdrowienia z Polski!
The ONLY people who TRULY love German cars are the mechanics who are paid to work on them. I've got 2 Subies(both with 250+k mi), live in Wisconsin(you know...REAL winters) and I can tell you that the Subaru is the FINEST AWD system not only for the money...but overall. I know a couple Audi drivers. They look REAL good and drive nice...but when something fails...there's no "do it yourself" work to be had on these. My Subaru? I can do 80% of the work myself...on the RARE occasion in needs it. German cars are LEGENDARY for their electrical issues...and if there's a more frustrating issue than that, I haven't found it.
TakeDeadAim I've worked on all of my 4 Audis I ever had... Brakes, suspension, engine, electrical: piece of cake; if you think they're rocket science and expensive to repair, let me tell you a bigger brain is needed then: german cars are like any other car, stupid shops just take advantage of their prestige as luxury cars and they over price any small labor on them...
It's not the work necessarily it's finding parts. I can source most Subie parts at the local stores. Not so many aftermarket parts for them so you're stuck paying the dealer.
Good job! Very entertaining. Who cares about some difference in tyres or weight or horse power. It is all about the show, and I personally enjoyed it. Next time pls include 30 degrees icy uphill ::) also: next winter do forrester vs q5 vs x3 vs GLK. Maybe, BMW will want to sponsor it :) And...Subaru rocks :)
Isnt the Audi A4 Quattro only Haldex system and Subaru classic Torsen? It would had been a bit different if the tested models were 5er, E-Klasse and A6 - which uses the old school torsen or?
yeah the leggendary traction of audi quattro is the best in the world, beucase is the sicurity and the sporting in one car AUDI this is icredible WOW this is audi EMOCTION to drive yessssssssssss
lol audi has the most fanatic fanbase, they are the loudest as they know theres not much to stand for (just like apple haha) and yes I drove all of the contestants in various conditions. Drivers machine? 1.st BMW 2nd Subaru... just asi the test proved

The cars seemed completely stock just like most people would use them except in extreme snowy climates. Of course tires make a difference but this was a good test nevertheless
Looks like they are pretty much the same.. Driving on streets I don`t care so much about second here or there. They all passed Ice test so difference lays in tires and some regulations. I would prefer any of those germans in sedan version with Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7 tires. In case of Subaru I would buy Impreza STI to have some fun.. Cheers people!!! Life is too short to stick to very narrow thoughts;)
Drove and owned all of these cars over the years, the best driving car and this is what really matters. If money isn't an issue is the 3 series, if you don't believe me try one.
Finally someone who really understands physics and that all these cars rely on tires to connect to the road. All these tests are not really fair comparisons because they negate the tires... I would even argue that a thinner more softer tire would make any of these cars handle better, does not need studs. And for most of the commenter here it won't really matter what they choose as it most likely will fit their needs just fine....
You can't be driving on city streets and highways with studded or chains on your tires. It's illegal in most cases and cities. Comparison of these luxury vehicle brands and the Subaru isn't a very good comparison. Everyone knows that the AWD system in the Quattro and Subaru's are proven as one of the best AWD systems and the other two are also very good. It's amazing how the Subaru can pull a heavy load and tow out a vehicle stuck in the snow. Look at some examples on CZcams. You'll see and be convinced how competent the Symmetrical AWD system really performs. Plus you have a much better resale value of any Subaru next to all of these luxury brands that only hold around 30% of the value after so many miles and years owned compared to the Subaru's holding close to over 60% over the same time period
There's a reason Japanese cars don't have long rust warranties. Toyota is like 5 years 60k for corrosion damage. BMW its 12 years unlimited mileage for corrosion. American cars are about the same with Japanese. German cars are well made. If you look at Chevy Silverados or Toyota Camrys, the body's made of thin cheap steel. Rust proofing isn't that great and years later(6-7 years) they start to corrode.
BMW's are not well made cars, they are among the least reliable cars on the planet with major electrical issues just like audi and benz... 5 years is standard for a pointless warranty, if the rust is the result of a chip or scratch you will not be covered. not to mention the rust must make a hole through in the sheet metal to be covered by BMW'S Limited Rust Perforation Warranty.
BMW won the real world "race" at the end! Audi had the most pulling power. And Subaru won the figure skating contest. Mercedes was right behind them. Not much difference really. Except Subaru best value of new cars. BMW and Audi cheaper than Subaru to buy used in the US.
Ive owned both Audi and Subaru. Subaru feels cheaper, but I never had any mechanical or electrical issues. Audi felt very robust and well designed, but had numerous mechanical and electrical issues. If you're rich, get the Audi. If you're smart and don't care about good looks, get the Subaru.

I say is Audi win for preformance,Quattro is for snow rain everything 70% front and 30% back

After hearing this soundtrack for 5 minutes it made me want to watch the Exorcist again.
zaujímavý test,výsledok ma potešil aj ked vieme ako to dopadlo na pretahovani lanom,ale zase su to všetko nádherné auta a určite aj veľmi spoľahlivé
The Piten Bully snowcat was the BEST!
Audi #1. That's why every brand follow there innovation
Quattro introduced in the 80s, Subaru introduced AWD in the 70s in their Leone ..
Врать не буду, с другими марками не тягался. Но своей А6 верю стопроцентно. Езжу три года - ни разу не подвела.

Audi Quattro is #1 👍🏼👌🏼
Nice high profile tyres on the Audi.

Very nice thank you
Knew the Audi does best, because it INVENTED awd. The pulling test was retarted, because no car has the exact same weight.
it did not en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-wheel_drive
+Wilco Wigman Four wheel drive vs AWD = apples and oranges...
For me its the same
it s more easy when 3 car pass before you,for me Subaru all the way.Michel
BMW and Audi the best
Audi and subaru best
I owned 3 of those makes in my life except Mercedes. Only Subaru was AWD. Like them all.
BMW and Audi the Best!!!!
Rasto, mam rad tvoje testy ;-)
Subie AWD is the best, hands down!!!
..surly a better test tan most of german sponsored car tests!! nice job
quattro is magic :)
mo..zaid..hai..
3:05
Good job! Very entertaining. Who cares about some difference in tyres or weight or horse power. It is all about the show, and I personally enjoyed it. Next time pls include 30 degrees icy uphill ::) also: next winter do forrester vs q5 vs x3 vs GLK. Maybe, BMW will want to sponsor it :) And...Subaru rocks :)
Dusa moja video top
Quattro is best
Isnt the Audi A4 Quattro only Haldex system and Subaru classic Torsen?
It would had been a bit different if the tested models were 5er, E-Klasse and A6 - which uses the old school torsen
or?
Quattro power! Audi the best!
BMW is the best!
yeah the leggendary traction of audi quattro is the best in the world, beucase is the sicurity and the sporting in one car AUDI this is icredible WOW this is audi
EMOCTION to drive yessssssssssss
lol audi has the most fanatic fanbase, they are the loudest as they know theres not much to stand for (just like apple haha) and yes I drove all of the contestants in various conditions. Drivers machine? 1.st BMW 2nd Subaru... just asi the test proved
Nice thorough review and film !!!
But it would be nice to have some English Subtitles for the rest of the non Slovak speaking world ?? !!
I presume all the cars were on the same winter tyres ?
I like your videos nibowaka7 . I have the slightest clue what you're saying though. Maybe some english Subtitles?
I think these real life tests are much better than those indoors tests on rollers. I didnt understand the language but the video was nice and realistic for my taste. The cars seemed completely stock just like most people would use them except in extreme snowy climates. Of course tires make a difference but this was a good test nevertheless
It's funny how i don't know this language but i understand 35% of this video. Nice comparison.
BMW the best car, here is the proof in the real world ........... no more words
W audi
Looks like they are pretty much the same.. Driving on streets I don`t care so much about second here or there. They all passed Ice test so difference lays in tires and some regulations. I would prefer any of those germans in sedan version with Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7 tires. In case of Subaru I would buy Impreza STI to have some fun.. Cheers people!!! Life is too short to stick to very narrow thoughts;)
the best AUDI AUDI AUDI
отлично тестируют
quattro is the bets
AUDI
Whichever car is heavier and has better winter tires on it
SUBI ROCKS :)
Must test cars with same weight.
So...I live in southern Spain...what car do you recomend for the winter in Spain?.
Seat
Subaru & Audi AWD Systems Is On Top1
Ok, and what tires were each car using..?
The question is.... where they all using the same winter tires? If not, this is a useless test.
cause they don't speak English, they looked drunk, who knows what they are doing, may just wanna test tires......
+Ellery Familia and tire sizes are difference
it just mean audi came with better stock tire for winter........which might just be good enough for some
Subaru and BMW won this test. But yes, what tires they all used?
Vehicle mass would make a larger difference
What was that music at 10:06 ?
AUDI BEST CAR !
no one can beat Audis Quattro
in fact, its is one of the first 4 wheel drives
Subaru all the way!! Subie's are Snow Eaters
110 má na cíl :))) a kola se protaci :) odborník
AUDI QUATTRO
subaru #1
Shows traction for dollar spent, Subaru is hard to beat. The cars it is up against cost a lot more than it ever will.
Drove and owned all of these cars over the years, the best driving car and this is what really matters. If money isn't an issue is the 3 series, if you don't believe me try one.
Audi is better
Its down to tires, really. Any one of these with studded tires would have won overall.
Finally someone who really understands physics and that all these cars rely on tires to connect to the road. All these tests are not really fair comparisons because they negate the tires...

There's a reason Japanese cars don't have long rust warranties. Toyota is like 5 years 60k for corrosion damage. BMW its 12 years unlimited mileage for corrosion. American cars are about the same with Japanese. German cars are well made. If you look at Chevy Silverados or Toyota Camrys, the body's made of thin cheap steel. Rust proofing isn't that great and years later(6-7 years) they start to corrode.
here in Norway almost all car manufacture have 5 yeas , Kia and Hyundai have 7 years
BMW's are not well made cars, they are among the least reliable cars on the planet with major electrical issues just like audi and benz... 5 years is standard for a pointless warranty, if the rust is the result of a chip or scratch you will not be covered. not to mention the rust must make a hole through in the sheet metal to be covered by BMW'S Limited Rust Perforation Warranty.
I drive a 1994 Toyota cresta issued for the Japanese market, the 20-year-old does not rust, it's BMW, has rotted
well i see your point im never going to buy a German car i am happy with my Japan cars =) and by the way its 12 years rust warranty here
Mark G yes bmws sucks ass

Usłyszawszy "elektronika to nie chce puścić" też myśleliście, że jest to po polsku ?

#TeamAudi ❤❤❤
Sedan's vs station wagon's, engine size, transmission and same tires on all 4 car's?
Quattro we love 💕 A series 🥰 audi 😎
xDrive is the best
BMW won the real world "race" at the end! Audi had the most pulling power. And Subaru won the figure skating contest. Mercedes was right behind them. Not much difference really. Except Subaru best value of new cars. BMW and Audi cheaper than Subaru to buy used in the US.
