$6895

Not knowing if there's wheel/suspension damage I'm guessing $8600 + mechanicals.

Only if its an RS4.

Keeping with the overall thread (sort of...) how does X-drive compare to the haldex and torsen based systems. I don't know much about x-drive at all. Is it similar or something completely different? I've got my parents thinking of perhaps the new X3 when it finally does come out.

The summary I've picked up is Audi system is better, at least on cars. X on 3/5 series is a compromise of everything (height, mpg, weight, accel).

Subaru is almost totally mechanical so it's idiot proof and easier to fix but less refined so you guzzle more gas.

Re: X-drive? Whatever...What way to start a day.

The wife took the Vue swimming during that freak rain storm 2 years ago and flooded the engine with water logged it.........long story short, Insurance took care of entire $12,000 new engine bill as a "act of nature" and we didn't pay a penny, not even deductible and rates have never gone up since. (in fact they came down 6 months later.)

My second favourite is racing Ford, Dodge and Chevy 4x4's from street light to street light on whatever road I happen across. They've got nothin' on this little 4-Motion! [/QUOTE]

You should drive an old 86 Quattro....it would really make you rethink how good 4-motion really is
