If I read correctly, certain years A8s are made of aluminum.
Time is running out for my beloved Subaru. At 257,000 miles she runs like a top and starts everyday but is slowly rotting away. I should be able to get another year out of her maybe two.
Anyone with FIRSTHAND experience with an Audi?

I own a '98 A4 Quattro sport 1.8T 5 spd. It has 137000 miles of which I have put 107000 of. The 107000 miles included two all weekend track sessions with the porsche club. It had some serious issues under warranty. 2 turbos and the front suspension links needed to be replaced. Since its been out of warranty I have only had to do routine maintainence. The suspension is nearly perfect from a ride / handling balance view point. The power economy is excellent. The only thing I don't like is that the 1.8T is buzzy. The short if it is, if it hadn't been such a good car I would have bought another Mercedes by now. Anybody close to me that has been in my car thinks I'm insane for wanting another Mercedes.
The latest A4's are much better. More back seat room. Safest cars on the road today. The engine is much better buzziness is gone Power to economy is outstanding. .
