I am also an Audi fan. In fact my other ride is a 2004 B6 S4. Helluva vehicle. Have owned Audis before and will tell you that that are great cars as long as you do proper maintenance, just like any other vehicle. Well cheaper to mantain than the X5. Those turbo engines are fun to play with. Just a Chip and you can have an instant 50-60 hp more than stock. Quattro in the snow is better than anything else out there. Better than Subaru better than xdrive. Audis are great vehicles, but nothing like my x5. Good luck pal!
