youll be aight drivetrain wise as long as you take care of it. But audi just like any vw's with turbo are prone to leaks.

from wut i hear like 97 to 2000 or 01 or wutever a4s had a recall cuz they came with a filter screen inside the motor which is pointless unless u rip the oil pan off and somehow replace it or else gunk gets built up on the screen and creates bad sludge! this is just what i heard..... dont know if its true so if its not an S4 i would say dont even try!

Keep Your MAx! Just swap to a manual, and boost it.

With that 1.8t you can chip it and get close to 40-50 HP and another 115lb of torque for around 500 bucks.

The 1.8T's are zero fun with the AWD, but then again they're not much better with the FWD either :lmfao:

wasn't trying to be an ******* I was just gonna express my detailed opinion of the Maxima and then decided against it. I don't like that car, but its your car and if you like it more power to you...but you asked for opinions on whether you should trade so I gave it. My cousin has one of those Audis and it's not a bad car, and I personally would prefer it over the maxima...
