worked great in removing white scuff marks from Mom's Jeep off of the Burgundy bumper of my Dad's Jeep (geez, Dad, you hit Mom's car again?!) In all fairness, my father was late to church and I think that God was teaching him to be early next time...<p>You do need to rewax after, but RNR Auto Rebuild in Bellevue, great auto body shop, just rubbed the scuffs out of his bumper while we waited, no charge, Mom's car was not so lucky.<p>Kirk<br>and NO I do not still live with my parents, come on I am 28 fercrisssake...

I would bet that it would scratch the heck out of the clearcoat (not sure if the Jeep had clearcoat). Even so, you should always start with the least abrasive material possible. <p>My 2 additional cents,<br>Mike

The Jeep has a metallic paint with clearcoat and there is no evidence of any damage to the area once the white was removed. Remember, you have to wax afterward, and this is a bumper, just like the A4s. <p>Anyway, I do not profess to be an expert, I was just thoroughly impressed with the job that it did.<p>Kirk

While VW passat owners who pay less for the same product are given a 10yr/100,000 drivetrain warranty. Audi appears to make it somewhat vague what kind of warranty they provide. I see a 3yr/50,000 mile expressed warranty but after that it appears somewhat confusing with some emission parts covered for 8yrs/80.000 miles for example others with less coverage. Nothing is atated about the transmission or engine. Audi/VW engine drivetrains are VERY complicated and expensive to repair parts. It seems as AUDI owners we are getting the shaft warranty wise for a car we are paying more to purchase than the Passat. While I love the A4s exterrior and interrior looks over that of the passats. It sure seems that Passat owners are reaping a windfall of a deal with the purchase from Volkswaggon. Am I missing something here???

It's not the weight of the Quattro that is getting you beat, the Quattro helps greatly in 0-60 runs if you know how to launch it right. No wheelspin!

What's getting you beat by lesser cars is that first, you bought a 2.8, which among V6s out there isn't exactly a burner (that's the nicest way to put it), and you got the Tip, which totally kills your ability to go 0-60 fast. Your car is oriented toward great handling, comfort, luxury and convienience with the Tip, not drag racing!

if you have the heart to aggressively release the clutch at 4,000 rpm and mesh the go-fast pedal at the same time. On 2wd cars it results in a bad smell, on quattro you think you are in a slingshot. I just hate to do it so I usually do not get good 0-60 times. One time I tried really hard, got several 7.2 (gtech) on a Neuspeed chipped 1.8TQMS. A good driver could probably improve upon it.

Thanks for the info, actually my present car has 160000+ on it and I have had it 14 years since new. So 100000 miles doesn't sound like much.

I was really drawn to the Jetta GLS VR6 for the availability of the great VR6 engine at a good price (20k), but there are just too many minuses.

The A4 1.8T, on the other hand, has lots of pluses, but it needs more power. The combo of the VR6 and the A4 sport suspension setup would be a winner, IMHO.

I voted with my $$ for the A4 1.8T QMS.
