2017 Audi A4 or E550 4Matic 2014

Hi all,

i have benefited greatly from from this forum.

I am interested in the new A4 mainly because of the tech and Apple car play.

i test drove the car and the quality of the Mercedes compared to the Audi is night and day. The Merc’s quality and feel is solid, while the Audi feels cheap and flimsy. The 4 in the Audi is a bit weak.

I originally was thinking of the E400 since I found a gorgeous designo graphite at CarMax with low miles and great service history. However I plan on doing an ECU mid later on so I thought the E550 would be a better platform, and found a CPO E550 for a similar price.

My concern with the Merc. Is the command system is old and antiquated.

The Audi is CPO as well.

Can you all help sway my decision ?

Miles on the cars

the e550 has 44k miles, e400 20k, while the Audi has 20k.

the prices are all within 2k, 33 for e550, 35 for e400 and 33 for the Audi.
