Thats not only due to your experience Scotty, but anecdotal evidence from a couple of friends locally. I just don't have a warm fuzzy about those cars. Or VWs (thanks Adam).
i can totally understand that. they are a very nice mix of comfort and sport if you can find a car that meets your condition standards. might want to drive one for kicks.
Lol I personally dont trust audis, I blew up my friends 04 clutch (pulled the clutch material completely off
hock: ) ...it had 300 miles since he owned it and 32,000 miles on the odometer. Found out this is very common along with a lot of other problems for these cars. I think the IS300, Legacy GT, and 330i should top your list. I personally liked the drive of the is300 (we are talking dailies here people) but didnt like the interior at all. The Legacy GT I loved all around, albeit does feel a bit porky. The 330i felt more sporting in the drive, but at a cost its HARSH on bad roads at least for what I want to pay 30k for a luxury car. The steering wheel feel was heavy (too much in my opinion for around town) and the engine sounded like a fat man wheezing. BUT nice interior, good exterior and will hold resale value better than the other two. Plus you have the douchebag factory good or bad.
