Looking for a car for a long commute.

Looking for a car for a long commute.

Looking for a long commute car and can't decide between 08 Audi A4 or 08 BMW 520d - can you advise on better buy? BMW has two-year BMW warranty.

Our answer:

Hi Murt,

The 520d is lovely and bigger and roomier than the Audi but I'd be a little worried about the long term reliability of the BMW 2.0-litre diesel engine. With the warranty you'll be OK but it's a good idea to budget for major repairs or work after that.
