Default The A4 or the BMW ?
Is an A4 reliable ? Would you recommend a '96 A4 2.9 Quattro to a 17 years old guy ? Should I buy an A4 or a '94 BMW 325i ?

Default 2.8 here... reliable and you got quattro!!!
The older e36 bmw's weren't best for reliability (I owned a 1995). Check www.bimmer.org and look around and use search for reliablility problems.

Do you mean the A4 would be less expensive to maintain than a BMW ?

The Quattro will sell itself. And frankly, I'm not particularily impressed with the 325.
