Default coming back :)

As some of you may remember, I sold my 1998 audi a4 2.8 quattro a couple of months ago. I then purchased a ford focus zx5 which i got a killer deal on :P Right now i am in the process of selling the focus hahah after a little more than a month of driving it ^^. This is what i am looking at right now http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/2296468814.html i know that it is not a b5, but still an audi and i like the b6 body style more than i like the b5 o.O
what do you guys think?

I thought you sold the B5 because of bad fuel economy? another .2L isn't going to help that any lol

I don't know much about B6s, but I'm sure you could find a 6 speed 1.8T yeah?

Maintenance? On an Audi? Nahhh.

So get a 4 banger with a turbo that gets better mileage off the bat, and can be more easily upgraded.

Power when you want it, fuel economy when you don't.

haha you saw sense lol,

im my opinion the B5 has much more sleeker lines and the better looking model over the B6, i hate the way the bumper lines on the B6 looks, almost looks like a jigsaw puzzle

B5 > B6

That's actually a fact.
