RE: Do I need premium?
the octane boosters will run you more money. a whole can only raises it a few points. you can run xylene or toluene. you can get them in bulk from chemical supply stores for pretty cheap but it'll probly still be cheaper in the long run if you buy premium.

So is there anything else I should know before becoming a B5 owner?

I'll try. But I found a pretty tempting 2000 Mercury Cougar V6 with a 5-speed. It's only going for $2,999 and it has 75,000 miles on it.

Thats a perfect starter car. Looks great, reliable and totally different from rice rockets these teens run around in. I dunno, but my car runs better with the premium, it guzzles 87 like nothing.

cougar=girl car= THE money pit car(not to make fun of you chaos). you'll buy it and so many things will go wrong you'll be paying for another car when you add up all the repair costs lol

Audi it is then. Hopefully I'll be getting it for my birthday this September. And how are Audi manual transmissions? If I do get the B5, it'll be my first time driving a manual. Is it easy to drive one? It looks kind of complicated.
