[ba] recs for best Audi sleeper the last 10 years?

[Arun Rao]

In my mind, the hands-down winner in the sleeper category would be a  
'96 (95.5?) S6, either sedan or avant.  Pretty much bullet-proof  
turbo I-5 (engine code AAN, I believe), stock 227 BHP, easily  
chippable to the 300 BHP range.  I have the predecessor, a '91  
200Q20V, now at 195K, and still my daily driver.

Not that these will be easy to find, mind you.

 From all I hear, the Allroad is troublesome.  You're better off with  
an S4: I know that other people have had trouble with theirs, but  
mine hasn't given me any in the five years I've had it.

'91 200Q (195K)
'00 S4 (82K)
'04 A4 (45K)
