Default I say hit (for a little less $). 2.8=super reliable compared to the 1.8t.
the 2.8 will go on and on and on and on. 2.8 is Audi's more reliable engine over the past 10 years.

Default I like my 12v engine, especially as a college student. Very reliable.
Not fast, but it gets the job done.

Default that's my biggest worry, reliability
for someone who might not have that steady of an income, i don't want to get stuck with a car that'll cost me alot in repairs.
