do you guys get different Audi cars in the USA cos in Europe they are ultra  reliable and dead cheap to fix.   My mate had a A3 that needed a new head gasket . parts cost him less than $30 to buy and it cost $150 in labour .

The Audi A6 has been consistently seen as a very reliable  by the motor trade  in Europe .  It's been my belief that AWD provides better  control in wet and snow conditions due to the LSD  packs (especially in Audi cars)  helping to reduce   spinning  .

yup, all their VW/Audis (except the R8 iirc) are built in US or Mexico, and the quality is dreadful apparently ...



and as for the OP, just buy a set of winter tyres :aok

a 50/50 chance of surviving a fatal accident is not a "great reduction" in fatalities. i know of 4 accidents in my area that were fatal. in 3 of them i know seatbelts were involved, the 4th im not sure of. thats a 75% chance there that seatbelts didnt do their job as theyre hyped up to be... one of them was a car making a uturn (didnt check both sides) and got hit by another car ~50mph, another one was a head on in a 55 mph zone (110, not much saving you....), my friends girlfriend as mentioned was a third, and a teacher at my school rolled his "smart" car and killed himself. I would say he wqas wearing a seatbelt though.

from this post its undeniable that 100% of all males who like flight sims cant do stats ;)

Called him this AM, he in fact DID have the V-6.    Still accelerated like a house standing on the side of the road.

oh dear . Well if you guys drove a real Audi made by Germans you'd notice a HUGE difference .  Mind you it was the yanks that  killed the Delorean    asking for the softer ride and CAT added. The European version was a beast with an extra 100 bhp and a much better lotus setup suspension

You don't need hallucinogenics to believe it, it's true.
