I, too, owned a Mitsubishi beater for 8 yrs otu of college... I absolutely destroyed that car, no care for it whatsoever. Almost every single non essential thing on it broke (power locks/windows, stereo, sunroof (not factory though), AC, paint, interior lights... but it always ran perfectly fine. (and a great snow car too, owing to the fact that it was pretty much the heaviest 4 cylinder car made in the 90's.)

I just got a Audi A6 this summer, and so far, I'm enjoying it. When the turbo kicks in in 2nd, it can snap your neck pretty good... which I love.

HOWEVER, I am biding my time and waiting for something to break, as I've been warned a million times.

Cool! I figure you have a 2.7T. How do you like it? That's a fast car, just baby those turbos- let them warm up and cool down. You might also want to use a synthetic motor oil. Since there are 2 of them, if one goes, both have to be replaced.

A-6 Nice Ride.

My 2000 Jetta has been Flawless (70,000) I love it, I want to find a used A-4 next. This from a former Chevy guy too.

Bide your time long enough until you really get the use of the Quattro System. . .you'll never go back to anything else and the minor breakages that happen with ANY car will pale in comparison to the amazing stability a Quattro offers :)
