    I'm glad you mentioned that, I'm selling my Type R Integra and the Audi A3 was at the top of my list. I guess I'm going to go with the Accord. I've always heard talk that Audis were crap, but it always came from biased BMW owners.

    Yeah, don't get me wrong, I loved the thing and it was a blast to drive. BMW's have their fair share of problems, too. But most A3's don't have as many issues as mine did. I also did autocrosses, track days, and took it to the drag strip. So I can't say I was gentle with it.

    My wife had an Audi and it was nothing but trouble. Fortunately, the dealership she bought it from treated her like royalty, send someone out with a new one for her to drive, lots of freebies. The straw that broke the camel's back was when the sunroof wouldn't close during a 3" rain storm. She traded it the next week (after it dried).

    my taco has 870 miles(only had it a little over month), but I had a 99 that had over 98000 when I traded it and there was nothing wrong and was still running strong. I don't think you can say enough about the quality.

    I drove all fords until the Taco. My '06 Ranger, bought new, had to have a new tensioner, waterpump, and the power steering pump was on its way out. Now that I have my taco I'll never look back. But I'll never get rid of my '92 5.0, 11th mustang to date.:D
