S6 is in the shop again. Lost my powersteering. Return line chafing against a bracket wore through

and lost all my powersteering fluid. Dealer had to order the hose, so my car's going to sit at the dealership a few days, and I'm left with a '03 A4 1.8T Quattro. (Don't like it so far, but maybe it'll grow on me. Initially it just feels 'cheap' inside...not up to Audi standards.)

BTW, now you know how the "lesser" (aka A4) crowd lives. ;-)

it felt cheap inside. I don't know, does anyone else think the new A4 seems "less" than the previous model?

ive only driven in an a8 and s8 other then those two cars. LOVE THEM, but not the same class.

In fact, the new A4 seems a bit nicer inside than the old one? (Except for the center console in the 1.8T -- I don't like the way the aluminum in that looks.)

I still thought the dash /console area was "plasticky"

The rest is nice =).
