RE: 1995 Audi 90 Quattro

[Peter Henriksen <peterhe@microsoft.com>]

(Remember, the following is only my humble opinion and mostly recovered
from memory at that) I remember the 90 as being a desirable vehicle at
the time, but the A4 is infinitely better. The 90 is somewhat wooden in
it's responses and certainly doesn't look as good. However, the price
difference between the V6 90 quattro you're looking at and a new A4
quattro is around $8-10000, so that's something to take into account.
Personally, I'd go for the A4 or wait till I could get the 1.8 turbo,
but the latter may not be an option for you :-)
