Re UrQ impression an ode to the Q

[josh Wyte]

Geuss I have to add a little more here.  I didn't
expect an '85 vintage car ('81 chassis) to be as
refined as my A4.  

However, I didn't expect the incredibly difficult
gearbox, heavy clutch, *huge* turbo lag (it had an MC
engine transplant), ponderous handling, poor brakes
etc.

Seriously, an '85 VW GTI would be a better driving
car, albeit slower and less traction.

I've driven several UrQ's and while it could be argued
that none were really well taken care of, none really
struck me enough to want to buy them.

I've always wanted an UrQ, I have stars in my eyes
when I see one.  Maybe that's why I'm so disappointed
when I drove this one...
