Selling the X for an Audi A4 Avant?

[sasquatch]

I'm a big Audi fan who's owned C5 A6's (non-avant) and some of the older 90Q cars. Audi builds a VERY nice car but can be quite complicated to work on if you plan to wrench yourself. Buy a very good set of repair manuals and prepare to buy/make specialty tools.

What engine platform are you considering? Auto or manual? If it was me I'd find a manual tranny. Stupid fun car, especially in snow.

And the resale value on the newer Audi's is excellent. They seem to hold their value a little better than most european cars.

I'm thinking 2.0T automatic. Sticks are more engaging but we already have an M5 and our son has a GTI 6 speed as well. So, and auto would be preferred for commuting and when driving in traffic. Driving a 1.8T Avant Quattro 6 speed right now to see if we like it and how it suits our needs.

Nice. The 2.0T is a excellent engine and the tiptronic tranny is pretty good.

Can't go wrong with a Audi 2.0T A4 Avant.
