there is that supreme caveat emptor with those cars because that engine design is far from being the most robust in audi's feeble engine lineup.

imo, that is a front wheel drive car (at least it feels like it). I didn't like them. Throw the engine/turbo problems into the mix, and you have an undesireable car.

There are cars more reliable and less expensive than the Audi and not as boring as the Accord. IMHO.

Low to mid $20Ks is reasonable right now. I briefly considered one as well but ruled it out based on long-term turbo reliability as well. |
