And seriousky, she chose it OVER a 1.8T A4 Avant. Same quality, still good looking, same performance, and more room. It was a great car, traded at 100k cause my dad didnt feel like putting a clutch in it. My A6 has had more issues thn her car did.
But IMHO, the Passat would be way before the Volvo, close with the Bimmers, and behind the Audi. I really dislike the mk4 Jetta wagons... The back is too big for the front.

I get what you are sayin, you want a sweet BAT Avant.
don't get me wrong, i am not really knocking the vw........ but i want my audi......... then i like the looks of the others........ main reason for the volvo is it is a turbo car that you can easily make big #'s with and it would be a sleeper

True...
Another one, not actually a wagon(but close), a 5 door SAAB 93 2.0 HOT or a viggen has even more power potential. The 2.3 can make some INSANE numbers, plus the SAAB 16V valve engines have a very nice sound.

But, a BAT avant would be beyond awesome. Behind a S4 avant...

i am looking for a possible cash or 1 yr payment car....... not really a "new" car

and a bat a4 anything would be better than an s4, unless it was bat....... but then that is twice as expensive and twice the work when you have issues or wanna go bigger

I know, I was givin crap, cause I know your feelings on 1.8 vs. 2.7T...
Also, if youve never looked, SAABs are as cheap if not cheaper used than Audis are!
How did this happen Kolby?? Nevermind... That sucks big time man, really. Makes me feel bad.

Yeah. I was going down a road in town, gave it a little gas, kicking it sideways. I started to correct it the same way I've always done it before, the back end came out in the other direction, and when I tried to correct that I lost all control. The car hit the pole on the driver's side, pushing most of the driver's door in about a foot and a half.
