I don't mind that my car is on a passat chasis. VWs are very smooth driving vehicles as well, and my S4 has 153k on it just getting broken in. Haven't had any issues with it, maintenance is key. The car is capable of track driving/auto-x/grocery getting etc.. all in a stock package but not that I track the car really.
Anyways this thread has gone too far off topic. S2 is a beast for its time, the RS2 is even better. There was no f-body's when that car came about.
