Let me be the exception here. I have no gripes, nit-picks or negatives to report, but I have probably lost your interest already. Picked up my 99.5 2.8 QMS on Friday and after about 400 miles I am completely satisfied with the quality, features and performance. I also got the large grin option especially evident on long highway interchanges. Oh, I also read the manuals so I don't have any questions. The dealer was excellent although two hours away so service will be a little tricky. Goodbye wheel spinning, torque steering MX6 Turbo 4WS (its been lots of fun), hello smooth running a4. The 1.8T that I test drove did not seem to have the power I was used to with the Mazda, so I went for the 2.8 - no regrets.

I also recently traded in my Mazda MX-6 (92) for a 99.5 2.8 QMS (is yours Silver?). I have put about 800 miles on it and have no complaints! I love this car!<p>-Mo-man<br>99.5 Silver 2.8 QMS
