If you are movie enthusiast, this exciting piece will really interest you enough to make social distancing worthwhile experience for you. audi has come up with 15 recommended films for car lovers across the planet where their models are featured.

For the past 40 years, audi and movies have had lots of works together. One of these popular films that took the cinema by storm was the ‘ET. The Extra-Terrestrial” in 1982 where the audi 5000 came into limelight. Since then, newly released audi models have featured in many big screen movies.
For the movie titled ‘Ronin’, audi S8 was captured in one of the biggest chase scenes of all time in that cult classic. Another surprising twist was the movie ‘Insider’ in 1999 where the audi A4 sedan was seen. In 2003, the audi tt Roadster was featured in ‘Legally Blonde 2’ where the automaker created the Candy Blue exterior colour just for that movie. audi later made this colour available for order after the movie.

Since we have taking these models and films on chronological order, the late 2000s really led to many appearances for the German car manufacturers in big screens. The `audi A3 in 2006 was driven by Lois Lane in Super man Returns, audi A5 by Jason Bourne in the Bourne Ultimatum (2007), audi models like Q7, S5 and R8 in the original Iron Man Movie in 2008, S8 and audi A3 Sportback in Taken (2008) and the film titled ‘ American’ also welcomed the audi A5 Sportback in 2010.

In 2013, the audi A8 and R8 Spyder were featured in Wolverine, audi S6 and A5 Cabriolet made appearance in Transformers (Age of Extinction, 2014), A3, S8,S7,Q7 and R8 Spyder in the movie Fifty Shades of Grey and the new tt Roadster and A8 in Spiderman (Homecoming, 2017). The popular movie Avengers also featured the e-tron GT concept and e-tron Sportback concept in its 2019 Endgame. The Spiderman ‘Far from Home’ also featured the A7, Q8 and e-tron.

We are not done yet; the Hitman 2015 featured the red audi RS7 and all the Transporter movies where Jason Statham starred. What we realized in these movies is that; audi models are super-fast, reliable and flexible enough to do unimaginable stunts. If you doubt us, you can check out these movies and don’t forget Captain America (Civil War), where bunch of audi models were seen.

I have seen a couple of these movies (a good marketing strategy by Audi/Volkswagen) and yes, Audi cars are super fast and rugged too but here in Nigeria, we lack competent/technical hands to make them run optimally when they start to fail. Owning one used to be on my bucket list but I have been discouraged with users experience.

Same. I started looking at a C7 A6 a few days ago. Perfect car. Very reliable by most accounts, plenty of power, luxurious, etc. But eh, I've never seen one on the streets, and those who own modern Audi's in Nigeria only have terrible stories to tell.

Wonder why. Wonder if it's a self-reinforcing issue.

Person buys Audi>No capable technicians or parts>Car gets abused>Negative feedback from owners>Makes others not buy it>No technicians or parts>Person buys Audi.

And on, and on. Pretty sad, since they're actually great cars. I also wonder if Nigerian fuel is an issue here.

The A6 series have always captured my attention.
I hope the circle gets broken for good.

I wish Siena would return from his self imposed exile. His knowledge on Audi and other Volkswagen trims is top-notch

Someone gave me an s6 on nairaland too, for N900k! Though used, wanted it for just the thrill of a V8 wagon
But I wasn't comfortable...according to him, it was as good as a newly imported used one. Inside was clean and all...but again, car was in lagos.

Audi a6 3.2 FSI quattro is one of the rugged sedans ever made.

Use recommended oils, have your vagcom and have someone from itire for parts on speed dial. U will never drive a toyota again.

Q7 3.6 liter engine FSI is also another good product. Cant say for any other.

Very clean car. Was it because of the distance that prevented you from buying it?

Have you noticed that Audi have nicely shaped wagons? Just like the BMW too. I have never fancied the Mercedes Benz C 180 wagon.

Sure, beautiful car. Someone showed me a B4 S4 in Benin too...cheap, N400k...in 2015. I'm not really an Audi fan but I'd like to own them at some time In future...

Seen the engine bay and mileage (not bad at all).

Congratulations! Send me some bottles of Heineken during the celebration.

From a technical standpoint of view, an Audi is very complex, tasking and unforgiving to work upon. The timing belt and Serpentine belts of most of them are on the firewall. Meaning, you must take off front radiator headlamp support bracket, pull out engine from bay and then do such works which are seemingly simple on other cars. Then is the issue of their engines and electronics with very light tolerances. They don't accept any little err. Any err on them, they'll bite you and they'll bite you so so hard.
