Thanks a bunch guys. Yah after talking with other people plus you guys advice, I will not be buying that one. I just thought, how about just at a few thousands and get a 2.0T. I have seen a 2006 with 45000 miles on it for $16500 but I will see if they can go a little lower than that.
I am looking for a fun daily driver. So far my choices stand at from the most desiarable...

Audi A4
Volvo C30
Mazda speed6

 

I'd take the mazdaspeed 6 over that ford any day.

 

I test drove the mazdaspeed 6 yesterday. Wow, fun car lots of power. I will test drive a 2005 2.0T A4 tomorrow and I know after that. Besically it will come down to the mazdaspeed6 and 2005 2.0T A4.

 

Yeah, I was very surprised when I drove the ms6. Don't know if i'd want to daily that clutch though!

 

That's nothing, the clutch on my 3000GT is twice as hard and I drive it almost everyday in summer. At first I ask the sale person is the clutch good, cuz it starts hard and when you press it some more it just goes down soft. How is the availability of performance parts like for the A4? Who are the avialable reliable vendors? I know I will start messing around with it to get it to at least 250awhp plus mark if I get it.

 

Ecstuning is a good source and apr makes good stuff.

 

I have being doing a little research and I found out a common problem with these cars is the cam followers that needs to be checked/replaced periodically. How frequent does this need to be done?
Any other common problems?
