Aaron Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Found a few s4's, but i want to stay away from the a4/s4 chassis since all the problems and work required to fix/change things out. thanks for the ideas The 1.8T in the GTI is the same as the A4.......... The problems associated with the S4 do not carry over into the A4 lineup. Your call either way, but Audi's are reliable with proper maint.

zeitgeist57 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 My bro-in-law had an A6 2.7TT automatic...great car, but ALWAYS had some maintenance issues to work out. It was a lease but was always in the shop. Turned it in for an Acura TL...never had a single problem. He's moved on a couple of cars since then but he misses the Acura, NOT the Audi...

TA In Progress Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 You should buy my car........... http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/1129745928.html I'll give you a CR discount! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 but if you start with a lemon, all you end up with is lemon aid. or a lemon in need of aid lol, so all Audi/VW's are lemons huh? Proper maintenence on any car goes a long way. It might need a bit more attention than a Civic but its worth the extra effort. Potential buyers need to be ready for potentially more problems, and more costly ones at that. However if the buyer isnt ready or willing to put up with that or do the work himself then an Audi/VW isnt in the cards. I certainly wouldn't give up my GTI for a new Civic Si because of reliability problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Thats the beauty of not having just 1 manufacturer in the US to choose from. Both you and I can buy the cars that make each of us happy. But your right, the domestics obviously have the winning formula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Hyundai has really impressed me lately though. Solid cars at solid prices. A forumla that the domestics can't seem to grasp. If they have a great car, they price it out of the market. They have 0 respect anymore in the market hence needing quality cars at prices BELOW the competition. Honda and Toyota put out solid cars, but their lack of enthusiast cars and their semi high prices provide nothing that I would buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree that cars are getting more and more complex however the average car is only getting better. Toyota Camry V6's running low 14s, GTI's with dual clutch transmissions, midsized sport sedans packing up to 556hp (new V) its pretty impressive.
