Alright, I am trying to decide on what car to get... It's between a 2006 Audi A4 or a 2006 Volvo S40. I know what you're thinking, "A Volvo?! Ok Grandma!", well go look at them! They are pretty sporty and the price difference is pretty significant from a A4.
So what do you all think? -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

Aren't Volvo's known to last for a looooooooong time?
Go with a Volvo and use the money you save on other things. -------------------- |

 If you want something sporty why not get something like a 350z, wrx or Evo? -------------------- death to false dudes

I don't think Acura needs an explanation, excellent reliability, great residual value, and assembled in US. Though I would want more power.
VW and Audi are the same company, never heard good things about VW, too many problems. Plus a lot of them are made in Mexico. I had a friend who bought a brand new Jetta and had to take it to the dealer 8 times in the 1st 6 months of owning it. Volvo's are safe, but they're owned by Ford. They're reliability has been above average. Have you thought about this car? Its more expensive, but there's a lot more power. Plus the safety of AWD.  Subaru Legacy GT. Also assembled in the US. -------------------- Beers that I have had, updated July 5th, 2009: 1,548

Acura is owned by Honda correct?
Audi is a subsidiary of VW, with separate groups for design and such. I have heard bad things about VW reliability as well. Audi's from what I've been able to find are still built in Germany and shipped over. I have a few friends with Subarus and they've had nothing but problems. I don't really need more power, trying to conserve as much gas as possible. I do like the idea of TDI but they're always sold out. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
