i'm not biased i just hate vw/audi with a massive passion
I'm not biased either... My 300hp Talon has yet to cost me a car payment in repairs, where my SVX ate 2 transmissions in 2 years..

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, scotch in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA !!!!!

once you change to a 5speed the svx transmssion issues go away. I am glad you havent had any trouble with the mitsubishi, now run and knock on wood, and lets agree to disagree.

as for vw and audi i work at a parts counter, and they are the most ill concieved badly put together cars i have ever seen. I normally tell people that they drive nice but sell them at least a month before the warrenty goes out or you will regret it.
you have to change the control arm to change ball joints on most models!!!!! as in the ball joints are welded to the control arm!!

That is the best double-think statement I have heard from a non-politician in a long, long time.

Good going!!

He may not have said it well, but Audi and "Vee-Dubs" are ****-boxes.

My votes for the 3kGT VR-4
