Hey everybody

Great site you all have here. I've already learned a great deal that helped me out with the car searching.

I bought a very well cared for 2002 Audi A4 Avant in the middle of August and I love it! Even my wife, who didn't want a wagon, now loves it. It only took one drive around the block and she was impressed.

Of course, we're coming from driving a '96 Sunfire, so it's such a big upgrade it's no surprise. I didn't realize how much nicer this was though until I drove it. Now we fight over who drives the Audi, and who drives the 06 Odyssey that we already had.

We bought this to be able to shuttle the family around (we have three daughters aged 11, 9 and 6) without having to use the van all the time.

my new car has all options except sport and xenon lights, 4cyl 1.8 turbo quattro with 5-speed manual trans. Has 117,000 kms and the previous owner took great care of it.

Hopefully I'll be able to share some things to help out others here. I like to do my own maintainance when I can.

See you out on the road!

Tom
