audi on a budget..

[thejimrose]

what's wrong w/ the 2.0 again? [dont say cam follower or carbon buildup]

also there are legions that swear by the vr6 as being bulletproof. sure
timing chains every 150k or so but that's 1ce in a lifetime as an owner
[ditto h20 pump]. cooling issues are well known and easily remedied.

it's still a nice, comfortable, well built [no mk4 peeling interior] decent
mpg's, fun and practical car for short $.

most importantly it has style. i dont care how much sense it makes. i
wouldn't be caught dead pushing an accord.
