Just working out which is a better move.
The Audi is a diesel and the Mitsi is a Petrol.
Just worried about the age of the Audi and the costs to service.
Any one here have any experience with either of these cars?
Thanks
Driving 30,000km a Year, Would You Buy a 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander for $25k or an Audi Q5 2010 for $20k?

8 year old Audi bound to present it's problems to you shortly
Which can you afford to take through a car wash?
30,000km is a fair amount! Mits because of warranty for 5yrs, then plan to sell it at the 4.5yr mark.
Gone from “can’t afford to eat if I get my car washed” to “should I buy a $20,000
money pitAudi?” :D
Because all the awesome bargains he's gotten over the year :O
8 year old vs 2 year old car.
The answer is pretty obvious.
I rather push a Mitsubishi than drive an Audi :)
What is wrong with you?
A corolla for $16k.
not worth, you can buy a camry (100,00km) for $15k.
Excuse me, but a corolla is the most popular and the highest purchased car in history. Corolla Hatches retain their value better and is a easier car to drive. Camry's are massive.
Neither unless I really need an SUV. Thinking of the bowser savings
But Bowser is awesome
That's why he's worth saving.
i have a 2014 diesel outlander. I like it. good power (turbo). nice fuel economy. reliable. haven't had an issue in 4 years (except the battery died last year).
If it's an 'investment', better off with the 25k car.
I have a diesel qashqai - picked it up for $27k as a demo with 500km on it. I drive 45,000km a year and it uses ~5l/100km. Very happy with it so far but only 3yr 100k warranty if that’s a concern. They don’t make them as of 2018 in a diesel anymore so newest you’ll get is 2017 which is he model I have.
But the turbo lag is pretty shit :/
I don’t know much about cars but it doesn’t bother me too much. I get enough grunt whenever I need to overtake at high speeds.
qashqai definitely is slow on the drag strip.. if that's what you're into
THIS! Diesel turbo lag will kill a car's driveability, especially at things like roundabouts. EG my ex's Peugeot 4007, my god that thing was a laggard
Yeah that's what I've noticed, pulling out into traffic is a pita.
Have 1 on the yard and I've been driving it the last few days, and honestly that would really bug me as a long-term owner I just couldn't do it!
The Outlander will handle outback NT roads (tracks) better
Just worried about the age of the Audi and the costs to service.
Yup, I'd be worried about the same thing. No reason to take an out-of-warranty European car over an in-warranty Japanese car.
Buy a mitsubishi, forget the monkey spanking chermans.
I think, you should consider Mazda 3 Maxx they are around $23-$24 k brand new & fuel efficient. Very nice to drive too, has all the bells & whistles.
I also drive 30k a year & love the Maxx
No experience. But mitsubishi. Because 5 year warranty and Audi is going to depreciate as hard.
