[q-list] what would you rather have?

[Alan Pritchard]

Correct me if im wrong, but the 93 90 is a different platform to the
coupe, and is the better of the chassis, other than that I cannot
imagine much difference. Personally id go for the 90 due to cost,
however for looks the coupe is better. Both similar... what engines are
in both?/ that would be an important factor to me

I hope I don't start a religious war here, but I'm torn right now;
there's a 1993 Audi 90 CS Quattro with 128K KM on it for sale for
about 5000 as is.  To safety, it needs the front brakes done and the
handbrake replaced -- say $800 (the brake parts were around $500, I'm
thinking 300 for labour at 55/hr -- could be way off here.  Feel free
to jump in.).  The exhaust is going to be an issue in the next year or
two as well.

There's a 1990 Audi Quattro Coupe for sale at a dealership for $5400
e-cert. and safetied, with work done on just about everything I could
think of: brakes, rotors, timing belt, distributor, clutch, etc. with
210K KM on it.

Spec/review wise, I've heard really good things about the 90 and so-so
things about the CQ: anyone care to jump in?

I'm new to the Audi game but I'm in love... and confused.

For all the Audi vets out there, what would you take?   To qualify, my
tastes are definitely not refined; I've been driving pickup trucks and
a Taurus for the last 10 years, so its more of a matter of reliability
and investment here (I plan on babying either car).  As for my
intentions, I'm not autocrossing or anything, just looking for a
comfortable daily driver.

Thanks
