Hello,

I am 18 years old and in need of a new vehicle. A friend of mine recomended me to browse some forums on the type of vehicle I would like to buy for some research. Right now my primary source of transportation is my 82 honda magna (motorcycle) and motorcycles dont work in the winter time in New England. Well I have set my eyes on an Audi. Now my questions are is the Audi generally a realiable vehicle or are they plagued with factory defects and hidden problems (reference from my father) Now if I was going to be looking for one, what would I be looking for for issues. Are these cars known to have some sort of body rought etc. When it comes to general maintence, how hard is it to work on this vehicle (brakes, lights etc..) Some of the things I am looking for are: v6, manual transmission, sunroof, Air-conditioning, AWD (if in my budget)

I would appreciate your help

Tilly
