The paint is flaking off all over it..

the engine burns oil..
electrics are dodgy...

New ones a lovely indeed if stupidly overpriced.

Old ones very nice too and now can be had for sensible money.

i appreciate the insurance issue, but look into it they aint as expensive to insure as you may think. You will forever regret it, the 1.8 is just gutless. As for problems, ive had loads

but thats mostly my fault. MAF sensor is prone to failing, 80 quid exchange for replacement but otherwise they are strong engines

i think its group 14, but not 100% sure. Problems i have had - Failed standard DV, Failed MAF, failed throttle body stepper motor. coolant temp sensor is fucked, split rear wash/wipe pipe. Still, damn good car and may even be for sale at the right price, as Jr said.

If its a group 14 then i may consider it.

see the 1.8 is it a 20v? or is the 20v the turbo'd model?

seen a 1.8 20v R reg with sum mods for 4800...

as corsaCsxi sed, the audi has that bit more class... mk4 is nice and may be an option, but the only mk4 i like is the r32, so id need to put that kit on it.
