Funny old thing how experiences differ. I'm on my 3rd Audi and have never had a problem with any of them.

My wife wants us to replace her Mazda 3 and my allroad with a 325ix Touring. I think it drives like sh*t with runflat tires, has very odd steering, and the ugliest Quasimodo-like dash with nav and iDrive known to man. I'm on a concerted PR campaign to have her drive the S4 Avant and close an eye to the gas mileage. Let's see...

What about the Volvo suv or the LR3? I don't really know anything about these cars but they are on my list of cars to check out when I need/want a much larger car. I'm interested in finding out if Land Rover's reliability has improved.

A 2000-2003 E 55 is a phenomenal value, great driving car, and great handling. Unfortunately, the price of one with 30,000 miles will not be far off a new Chrysler, so it's a tough call. AS

As long as you're insinuating that I'm unable to drive properly, let's see what kind of experience you're bringing to the table that gives you the right to make such a statement.

You know what, don't bother. In another thread some time ago, I said you were wise beyond your years. Apparently I was mistaken.
