So what now.....?

[quattrostyle]

2.0 16V Turbo from a 80 Competition?

Maybe, saloons are the way forward anyway

Hmmm. As Andy10v says, there is no substitute. I've not had my S2 since 2009, when Andy became the next keeper/banker. I've tried other Audis, but none match the S2. It's a 'proper car' as was quoted earlier..

With having so many on going issues with my s2 i think anything I jump in now will be better than what I had. Had said car been better and drove at least as it should then I doubt I'd be in this situation.

The last time I drove the s2 I then jumped straight in my 03 passat and felt instantly de-stressed, relaxed and a lot happier. Just to put things in perspective.

I am going to look a car tomorrow so watch this space.....

I know what you mean. I don't miss the stress..

[mackenzie50]

Stress indeed, at times in bucketloads..

That's why I insist in keeping my equally ancient Hilux...very battered (+previously abused-it had an exo cage when I bought it!) No money spent at all last year apart from an oil change, comma diesel magic to help it thro' emissions and some Schutz to keep the roadsalt at bay..
and super-reliable...

(yup,I know it's not a sports car)
