Absolutely.  When I bought my 200, I did so because it was my first car,
and I (of course) had to have quattro.  Having driven a 90q for about
6 months, I decide I wanted a turbo car, and definitely did not have the
knowledge to do a transplant.  Plus, living in the salt belt, a galvanized
chassis is a big bonus.

However, now owning both a modified 200tq and a modded 4kq, I must admit
I really enjoy driving the 4kq.  Although the 200 is great for long trips
(and it is nice to have a real trunk), the 4kq is more fun around town.
The 200 needs to stretch it's legs out before it feels comfortable.

If I had to do it over again, I would try to find a 4kq with a good body and
no sunroof, and swap in an MC.  To bad those are hard to find.
Anyone want a sweet 200?
