Though I would rather have an un-reliable Audi over a reliable Honda I must 
say when my wife was at Stanford she bought a '91 Honda Civic, basic as can 
be with A/C and radio only.  Drove the car for six years without a single 
problem and now her dad uses it for work.  That car has 160,000 miles (and 
he is by far not easy on it) with the original clutch to boot!  Only work 
was new struts at 86,000 and brakes every 40,000 miles as they are pretty 
weak to begin with.  Two hit and run accidents and the car still squeaks 
less than my Jeep!

Still, I hated that car as it was small, under-powered and everyone on the 
block had one.... NOBODY near me has an Audi 200 and ever since Audi became 
the rage again... a few A4/A6 owners not knowing about the car wished they 
had an "classic" Audi!  I'll spend ten used Honda Civic's before I consider 
getting rid of my 200.
