Re: WTB 80-90 quattro (or a 4kcsq)

["John Seitz" <jws@megahits.com>]

Well I have owned my quirky 4000csq for over two years.  Yes it does have
problems, but the fun factor always makes up for it.  Plus I have never
(heavy knocking on my wooden gear shift!!) been left on the side of the road
cursing at it!  In fact my mech states that the 4000 has less of those
electronic functions (ABS, Torsion, ..... ) which I do miss but hey my car
is fun, fast, stable, and an Audi so what ever you go with it will be great.
I just like the larger feel of the 4k over the 80/90,  but one more +/-
80/90 comment is the fact that you can get  the 20v I5 which has its good
and bad!!
