Wat .The B5 platform is the biggest money pit in existence. Nothing like a Honda.

truth...

I have an '08 B7 A4 2.0t that I bought new and have about 90k on it now. I use it as my DD and honestly I will never buy another VAG car again.

Yes- it looks nice, its comfortable, not too fast but pretty quick (~270hp, APR ECU Flash, Test pipe) but its expensive to maintain, everything squeaks over time and my 2.0 oil consumption problems are getting nerve wracking.

It burns though a full qt of oil every 1,200-1,500mi, literally every interval it needs a full quart and I always keep a few in my trunk. Since its a special 5w-30 synthetic; they go for around $11. It drives me insane. My warranty is up in December and I'm already looking into F30's.

Want nightmares? Take a look at this Audi tech's photo album of some of his work he has done. Frighting.http://imgur.com/a/v8QIf#0

My buddy switched from an e46 325i to the new gti's. He always says that he misses his e46 and will be switching back to bmw again.

I currently have a 2001 Audi B5 A4 and VW Passat wagon(my first wagon).

Pretty peppy too and that AWD is pretty good on the Audi. Parts are fairly inexpensive(CL) like maintaining a Honda Civic.

Posted this in the other thread, but I really, really want one of these. I've always wanted a 20v 5 with Quattro, and I feel like this would be the best sleeper platform.

This car is insane! I love the wheels:D. I own a 04 1.8t avant, crap car. I've owned a 83 Gti, 84 Gti, 2 mk 2 sciroccos, one 16v, 2 mk1 sciroccos one was a s, awesome car. I also had a 77 rabbit all 16v dive train, shrick cams, tt race header etc. stripped race car. 88 fox wagon, loved that one. The old VWs are awesome, except for front wheel drive. The new ones are just to unreliable for the money.

I love the look of the B5 chassis. I was actually looking around for one until I read about the horror stories of the 2.7T's.

If you are... I like your kind of crazy

[lambo]

Maybe I'm crazy... but... I want a B5 Avant...

forgot to mention, it's made me happy to watch VW have so much success with this car this year:

My next car :D

I too am VERY excited for the GTD to finally make it to the States! Good on VW for making the decision to import it. There will be a waiting list for them guaranteed.

I've got an '87 Audi 4kcsq with an MC1 swap.
She kind of gets with it.
But doesn't look anywhere as good as that 80 with the 20v.

Will never compare to my e30 though.

I think VWs were better built in the 80's, but I think that's true for most German makes. I have an '86 Jetta with 500k on it. It needs a little love, but it doesn't look like most cars from the northeast with that kind of mileage. My dad has a '92, but it's had more problems than mine, and it has half the miles. And my mom has an B5 A4, which is a big fucking piece of shit. I'm waiting/hoping for it to catch fire.

I wouldn't mind a GTI or Jetta from their current lineup though. I think they look fantastic. I'm not so sure about their reliability though.
