I thought I comment about this, because I am also getting sick of repairing 
my Audi and considering a Honda.  My first car was a 87 Honda accord and 
besides oil changes and a left CV joint . it gave me no troubles.  I even 
replaced the CV joint myself.  Great first car.  Now I have a 89 200 (175k) 
and I am about to die in repair cost.  True, the car drives great and feel 
real solid, but all the repairs is kinda hard for a collegeman who is trying 
to make it though the hard times.  

I am well aware the car's engine is bullet proof.  HECK, I never had a 
problem with the engine since I bought it(besides the injectors).  But the 
tranny, electric, etcetc. is starting to pile up.  I was just informed from 
the dealer that it will cost 1600 for the steering rack and replacing a few 
hoses.  And also the airbag has decided to crap out and thats another 1k 
there.  brings me to a grand total of almost 3k.  

Just wondering if it is all worth it......
