i kno...i was kicking myself for a long time. still do every once in a while. but that thing was in the shop like once a month. plus $200 for maintenance every 10k started to get rediculous. the last month i had it i spent $700 on maintenance and repairs and thats with a warrenty. lol. so i got tired of spending money on it and being without a car so often with it in the shop so much, no time for that. Subies are cheap, lol. i wish i could have got the limited but didnt want to spend any money out of my pocket, just what i got out of the S4. I kno im gonna end up with another s4 one day. i loved that car.

 

Yeah the A4 was nice to drive around but I was looking for something a little more exciting.

Where do you guys that live in the city go if you go to GTGs... looks like there are a few around the bay, cant really tell which is most active.

 

what no. is your limited?

 

It's not a STi limited so it's not numbered, The WRX limited is just a trim option.

O and welcome my buddy drives a 98 A4 2.8 and he cant get his hands off driving my STi lol.

 

+1...

 

like i posted earlier, i was spending too much money on the car just maintaining it. i want the car back just not right now. looking to save some money for a while, thats where the TR comes in, good power and performance for cheap and low maintenance. maybe in about 6mo or so i wont be in the subie world anymore and back into the audi world or somethin else. you guys are making me not want my car anymore, lol

 

Hehe. That's what we all said when we first bought, but power for Subies is cheap and fun just like crack (j/k on the crack, but you get the picture).

I understand that all too well. My '01 S4 had many mechanical problems when I had it (passenger turbo failed, power steering rack died, etc). I had it on a 2-year lease, so everything was covered under warranty. Losing ~1.5 months of that term at the dealership was not fun, though.

I traded my '01 S4 in for an '03 WRX wagon. I'm on my 4th Subaru now, so don't think so negatively... You have a good/reliable car.

I was on Audiworld/Audizine too.

that sucks that you had problems too. my a4 never had any problems at all. and my buddy has a 2000 S4 and never has any problems. but mine just sucked, but i loved that car so much at the same time. nogaro with matching interior and 6spd and just.... :'-[

oh well tho. but you are right, the TR is a good reliable car and not high maintenance like the s4 and its fun. =]
