so here is my problem. i am 17, i love cars but my dad loves muscle cars and only buys chevy so i hav only worked on and driven domestic cars. I want to get a 2001 a4 1.8t quattro, with roughly 80-100 thousand miles on it. not only would it b a daily driver but i obviously would start to do sum work with it (turbo boost, chip, exhaust, intake etc.) i have heard that this year was a relativley unrealiable car. even thou i do alot of routine matinence on my own, i cant do any of the electircal stuff or any other major problems and dont hav the money to keep paying audi to fix what ever goes wrong. So i guess the main question is are these cars reliable as a daily driver, and when i start tuning it, will this decrease the reliability of the car? and once i start playing with the turbo and chips what quarter mile times am i looking at?

Well Josh that video was definitely bookmarked. I thank you for that contribution.

As for you fast euro; unless you want to go insane like mike2ptzero and dump shitloads of cash, blood, sweat, and tears into your car its not a quarter mile car. Our cars are best at highway runs (top speed runs) and road type courses (carving the **** out of corners). Our cars are heavy (3500 lbs) so quarter mile performance won't be the greatest.
