AJ,
Sereing by the way you interpreted them, most of my comments about VW dependablity, you've misunderstood; and to clrify that I'll have to write a whole lot, which I don't wan to. even after I said several times that I don't have anything against you or VW/Audi, and was just saying something some people told me, you remain aggressive, and unpleasent. what troubles you so much about your car?
and this:
"f you are happy with the 97 T-Bird, you'll probally find it adequate. My cousin has an '96 T-Bird, it's a real gem..can't even make it into a plowed driveway with snow tires. Also, what's with that transmissin hump and lack of legroom? imo, my ten-years-older 1987, Audi Coupe GT puts it to shame in every respect, as the Jetta/Golf does to the Focus...
Why are youy suddenly turning this into a "My car is great, your car sucks" thing? We didn't even talk about our OWN cars, did we? where did that come from? did I ever say anything about YOUR car? I don't care what you think about my car. Different people like different things about their cars, what I like, you may not like: some people like fr.WD, some like Rear wheel drive. I mostly like 2-door coupes, we have no kids, so rear leg room doesn't matter to me. I'm happy with my car, it's been very dependable, with only an intake upgrade as the only repair in its 108k miles so far, and we don't have trouble from snow in NC much.
Just like you like your Audi for a lot of reasons, I like my car. Did I ever insult the car you drive, and said "mine is better"? how childish.
We all like our cars, and respect them. I've always like Tbird, and I could afford it (used). When I have more money some day, I might buy a better car, but for now the T-bird's been really good to me so far. I'll drive it as long as I can.
Understand that there's something called a "matter of taste" when it comes to cars.
I don't know what's wrong with you.
