I was somewhat hesitant to buy my A4 as well (I have a 2003 3.0). I've always owned Nissans and Hondas and trusted them to be problem-free... but heard less-than-glowing opinions about audis and VWs. However, as I knock on this wood table, I can say that the past year I've had my car (about
11,500 miles) have been trouble-free with no problems. As far as the speed difference, I can't say since I've never driven the 1.8T--- but you should ALWAYS buy the biggest engine in anything you get-- that's my philosophy!- posted
