[ba] Reliability of B5 vs. B6 A4s? or???

[Chris Maresca]

Crazily enough, you can actually buy a brand new Mazda3 for around $10k. 
  Much rather get that than an Accord since it's actually fun to drive...

I know it's politically incorrect to say that sort of thing on this 
list, but I find most modern Audis abysmally boring.   Sure, the 
interior is great, but that's about the only thing great about them.  I 
regularly drive a 3-series, A3 and Subaru Outback, and the A3 is by far 
the worst driving experience in pretty much every way.

And this is from someone who's owned 5 Audi's from an urQ to an A4.  Now 
I have a Focus and an XJR - I still have two CQs in my stable, although 
they don't get much use.

I might look at a 1st gen TT to replace the Focus, but it's the same 
price as a Boxster of similar vintage...

Chris.
