if you changed the last spec to japanese made, you could get an impreza, which would be cheaper in initial cost, less likely to break down, and would be cheaper to repair if anything went wrong.

vws have electrical problems hardcore, and the a4 is just a glorified jetta, with awd, and a nice interior. my cousin has a 2001, he says it's ok, but the repairs on nonsense stuff are expensive.

Subaru Legacy GT...has everything from your list, except German made, not a raceboy car, more upscale than impreza, not everybody has one and I have one!

the last time i check the impreza is made by Subura which is Austrailian made, not japanese made... if i were you i would look into the Legacy, they seem to be very nice cars!

When did you check? They've always been japanese made. But they did used to have an Australian spokesperson. *smile*

wow, someone's wrong. subaru has always been a japanese company, but nowadays a few models are assembled here. the forester and impreza are made in japan, and the legacy, outback, baja, and tribeca are made here.

the only major australian car manufacturer is holden, which is partially owned by gm.

i love audis!!!!! the only thing i can say bad about them is how much work it takes to get the damn air filter out. the only place you can do it is the dealer or spend at least a half hour just to get it out!!!! they are beautiful cars though. nice interior and bada$$ if you get a manual

I don't think it it's worth it to get a used A4. the maintenance will be very expensive.

and a s4? man that thing is way overpriced.

yeah i know that german cars are expensive to take care, which is why im leasing the next car...i was leaning fora the new IS but w/ gas prices now a days.....forget the 350. and the 250 isnt worth it, too slow fora heavy car. and yes i hate my car. slippin tranns, fukin slow as hell. no mods can help, not going to spend 6G fora kswap when i can use that $ as a downpayment + my cars value...

as far as the s/rs4 goes....forget that! what does it run for? 60? lol i can geta gs400 for that much.
I really want the a4 2.0T AWD. all i need is a good boost controller with a chip + downpipe/exhaust and i should be getting 14s @ palmdale track....but i dont want to get stick, traffic in LA is enuf....atlest it comes in tip.

also. i think getting any used german car is asking for a problem. they are notorious for problems off the lot but even used.....askin for it

I would never get an Audi/VW but it looks like you've made up your mind.
Good luck with it...
