    The only thing I'd expect to differ is the customer service, Audi giving better customer experience and customer service than Skoda or SEAT.
    They're all the same people sat in the same VAG UK head office in Milton Keynes.

    I think you're all misreading the original post and reading what you wish to read..... I never called my Audi a1 a luxury car, I said I wouldn't expect my car to break after one month from a LUXURY CAR NAME

    The term "Luxury Car" is simply a marketing term and very subjective.

    Audi's are mass-produced, factory built vehicles just like Ford or Vauxhall - try Rolls Royce if you want a luxury hand-built car.

    That's debatable... The Rolls Ghost, Wraith and Dawn are BMW 7-series, in the same way that an A1 is a Polo. Since the Ghost was launched, Rolls production has quadrupled.

    And, of course, Bentley are VAG, sharing platforms and mechanicals with other VAG brands - such as Audi...

    That word emphasis doesn't make a blind bit of difference at all.

    But just so you understand I'll rephrase my answer:

    Audi is NOT a luxury brand name.

    It's part of VAG.

    Just like a Lexus is not a luxury car brand name either - it's part of Toyota, but a few years ago it took lifting the bonnet and showing the owner the Toyota logo on several parts before they accepted the connection I tried to get them to believe.

    Next?

    Did you take the rear wheels off to prove it had brakes on them too?

    Haha - much too DARK for me - I didn't need to - the MATTER didn't need such demonstrations. ;)

    Not all the same people at all.

    As an aside, if you ever find yourself at Blakelands, check out the classic vehicles they usually have on display in reception.

    Audi are a sales reps car name.

    It's not luxury.

    Same as all those who crack on a Skoda isn't a Skoda anymore.

    It is.

    A1 is made by a luxury name?

    When did Skoda or Seat become a luxury name?

    Skoda Fabia, Seat Ibiza is the same platform.
