need help with decision!
 

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?:confused:

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 fuck out of corners). Our cars are heavy (3500 lbs) so quarter mile performance won't be the greatest.
