Lol well that may have been too broad of a question.
well i know people hate an auto so i was wondering how they hold up.
all the manual a4s in my area are like 2000 more or are beat to hell.

What is your area?

Auto's are just not enjoyable to drive, and that gen of ZF trannys sucked pretty bad. If it hasn't failed yet, it will.

Other than that, biggest deal is timing belt and engine sludge.
