dude whats wrong with the hatch?

 

Buy both.

No seriously, can you drive them both? Good cars, make your decision on how they feel to you. I love my Jetta, would love to own an Audi, but I think it would have to be a newer A4 for me to take it over the Jetta.

RWD>AWD>FWD

 

both of those cars will have 150hp. i think the leather color you're referring to is called basketball... I loved my A4 (for the month it was drivable) I doubt you could get an e46 for 6k, you MIGHT find an e39 528 with super high mileage but it would probably be pretty beat. I would say go for the Audi, be sure it's had the TB changed for sure.

 

The AWP motor is what you're thinking of when you mention "having more power" ...It had a k03 sport/k03s rather than a standard k03 turbo.

 

Some people like to blow those turbos and try to get Volkswagen to replace it for them.

 

Durrrrr

...and some people pretend like they make investments when they are really just playing with daddy's money.

 

Well after looking it over more. I might just get the 2.8 V6 Audi since its not gonna break down. I read they are really reliable. So i think im just gonna go with that. Id much rather have a Turbo car but im just gonna have to go with a slightly mor ereliable car.

I know German cars are a lil bit more of a hassle but damn i love them. I think the V6 Audi will do me right. and yes about the TB every 70k miles so when i go to buy one im just going to get a warranty of some sort. Ill get it changed as soon as i get home but its the drive home that will worry me.

 

Better choice, you'll like the 2.8.

 

You want reliability? Get a Camry or something... seriously.

Hell, I was actually even considering a slightly used TSX!

 

How much is the timing belt to replace? Parts+Labor. Are they really all that bad to up keep my M3 never gave me any problems.
