if i were u i would never do it, audi's not worth it from my own experience they always brake down and the parts are very expensive compare to Honda, save yourself from all the headache man.

i would. i had an 01 audi a4. fun cars. boost nice and always room to upgrade the turbo for more power. try audizine. i sorta down graded to an 00 LS. the only problem audis have are suspension(tend to sh!tty bushing) and if it has low mileage the motor is prety much bullet proof. plus u cant beat awd

I hate A4's and A6's with a passion. It's just more VW junk no person wants to take care of or pay to fix. Their late 90's stuff is just as bad as the newer garbage. I'd keep your car and enjoy the cheap maintenance cost and great reliability. Owning an Audi will make you realize just how nice Honda's are to own.

im sorry but an audi can last just as long depending how it was taken care of. but yes the maintance is pretty price and so are the parts but you get a smooth riding car very confty with seat warmers, AWD is great in rain

have you at least tried working on anything euro? i bet once you drive a e30 m3 swap you'll change your mind

It is all up to you man. So far, I've haven't had that hard of time fixing any Honda. When I fix other cars, their motors always tend to be situated in annoying manner, sometimes too far to the left or too far to the right etc., making it hard to change certain parts when it breaks down on the road or what not.

I've driven a M3 and I owned a Jetta for about 6 hours. I was very dissappointed with the performance of the box on wheels however the M3 was heavenly. I sold the Jetta to a buddy of mine and wound up working on it anyway. I just don't like them.

When the time comes for family and priorities then you gotta do what you gotta do. Like someone said in the previous post... if it comes with records and it's in great running condition, do it and take care of it. Though, I do hear people complain about running into issues with their Audis.

my 1st integra 1995 had fewer problems since 2000-2005 then my dads audi 2000-2005

only problems i had was a valve adjustment, a cheap repair.

my dad had some electrical, suspension, problems he had to change his timing belt and water pump before i did, (he HAD to change his at like 75k, i changed mine by option at 120k and the dealer said i still had alot of life in the old belt.)
And he also had a steering problem not to long ago...

keep the teg
