Re: Me mother

Nothing wrong with that choice, and I am hoping for a long-term deal like that for my Dad's next car

I'm going to offer your dad $2K more than whatever your offer ends up being.

Re: Me mother

GREAT SUCCESS!
I was over at the 'rents place last night and my dad was saying that the S4 avant is the front runner.

His reasoning was its 10k more than a loaded 3.2 sline and it'll be hella more fun! Im pushin them for Brilliant Red but Dolphin Grey is what the mom likes.

I've already told them im buying the wagon off them for a steal of a deal in 4 years hahaha

Re: Me mother

Sorry about the post hijack. Someone actually makes that 911 Carerra hatch conversion. Or made one. Yes, ugly.

I was serious about test driving a Cayenne though.

Re: Me mother

That was one of his major complaints with the last volvo they owned...crazy turbo lag..Im not exactly sure of the engine but it was a 2001 s70 turbo sedan..Pretty nice car but it was plagued with mechanical issues.

you could literally count to 3 after you floored it before you felt the turbo punch lol

Haha, well i'm still a Volvo noob so i'm not sure what the differences are between the s70 and the newer cars. I know that my car has almost no turbo lag (probably even less than the 2.0T which I found pretty good) but I have a different turbo than the bigger cars so it's hard to compare.

Re: Me mother

I would say the V70 is comparable to the A4 and Passat I don't think it would be a whole lot bigger.

Only issue you'll have is finding a V6 as it will all be inline 5 turbos (which by the way have a great sound).

Re: Me mother

Looks like some kind of Carrera hatch?...with TechArt wheels and GT exhaust...looks f#@king brutal!

As for the question at hand...I say go for the A4 Avant 3.2 S-line (even though you'd be pushing 65k to get one, which at that point you're only 10k from an S)...the Passat 3.6 4mo is sweet too though!

Ya, I just spoke with my pops over lunch. He was saying the Audi is probably gonna be the route they go as my mom likes the look the best (and who could blame her?)

I think the one I had priced for 61 had the s-line package on it? Either way, thats gotta happen

Re: Me mother

Test drive a Cayenne, sure its not a wagon but I hear it feels car-like.

Just thinking outside the box.

Re: Me mother

Well I agree the Passat looks great on paper, especially with more power and less coin, but of course it is not an Audi. The Passat is slightly larger than the A4 so you can save a little extra space with the Avant, which might be a plus. The 3.2 is still a great engine, but I have never driven a 3.6 to compare.

There is not a lot in the 6cylinder smaller euro wagon so I would say those are very good choices.
