considering it for a couple of years til i get something I really wanted.

that or a used car, dunno which yet.

 

i fuckin love it, thats what i think. the 2.0t quattro does not disappoint and the car is comfy, sporty, and well built.

have you driven one? you will be sold.

 

2 of my cousins own audis but I've yet to drive either car (one is the s4, the other is the A3 too)

i saw the A3 wagon on carsdirect for 23K-ish last week, gone back to 25k now h:

 

yeah its an Audi. i vote no. nothing but problems with those cars. buy it new so you get a warranty at least.

friend has a A4 spent more money in repairs then gas. he bought a S4 and the power sterring went withing 9K miles. his sister had a a4 burned enough oil to cover the car behind her. his mom had a a6 and no problems. he bought a TT before the S4 and that had some real bad turbo problems.

but they refused to buy anything but audi.

 

in all truthfullness if you are just looking for a car to hold you for a couple of years, i wouldnt suggest spending that much.... get a good (cheaper) used car if you dont plan to hold onto it.

 

something tells me no matter what they buy they are going to have problems with it.

ive known plenty of people with audis that have lasted them a long time.... some were very high mile cars, some were modified.... a car will last as long as you take care of it.

 

I've had pretty bad luck with used cars. I hate dealing with their stupid problems.

 

well, its your money and your decision, im just saying imo the depreciation on any new car makes it hard to justify only keeping it a couple of years. maybe you should consider leasing?

 

yeh, I've thought of leasing too. But I might just pass the car to my mom when I buy a new one though. She drives like 10 times a year, but good to have a car around.

anything similar to the A3 that I might overlooked?

 

get a new "cheap car"

Ex. Scion Tc, Civic Ex,maybe a 4 cyl accord.

edit: unless your a man of status.
