Default Should I have kept my Honda Accord?

I traded my Honda accord for a 97 A4 1.8T a few years ago. I love how the Audi drives.

My sunroof stuck open two days ago. Fixing this has been a HUGE pain!! It shouldn't be this complicated. It would be over 1,000 to replace the A/C evaporator. So, I'm not doing it. These things are way too hard to work on.

A WELL ENGINEERED CAR CAN BE EASILY FIXED. THE GERMAN'S NEED TO KNOW THIS.

Hondas are really fun to drive and tune. I had a 94 accord before my A4. But i' def stick with the Audi.

You think you are having some rough time? I bought my car last summer and I had a choice to get a Ford Escape at that time. My children said that I deserve to buy a luxury car since my Caravan has served me well for 15 years. I figured if my Chrysler van lasted 15 years trouble free, a German car should be as good or maybe better. Wrong!
Since I got this car, I spent a total of $5500 from changing the timing belt to replacing the turn signal relay. I did most of the work except when I need to use a special tools. Anyway, everytime there is a problem with my car - I kept thinking of trading it in. You know what? I have not driven a car yet (in the same price range) that put a smile in my face. I guess when I think of that blizzard day last winter where everyone stayed home and I have to do a wedding, driving down the Don Valley parkway at 80Km/hr - makes me say "Thank GOD I bought an Audi".
So, fix the car and enjoy the ride. It is a machine and it does break down!
