Default "Great"? Compared to what? Mercedes? Nissan? Tata Aria?

I can see from your rainbow that Honda was you last car. Audi must have some recruiting incentive going for you people.

Default Just-in-time supply chain does not allow for long/medium term testing. BMW has CP problems too.

The way and the rate the coils failed in-service must have been a real blow to Audi. Brimi is the company at fault, lets compare to quality GM parts. My Aunt spent a $1,000 a pop for several ECUs for her Buick Park Ave, out-of-warranty. It is sad. I comment so freely on car quality issues because my home-away-from-home is my local Bosch Service Center. On the side there, import cars are serviced and (briefly) discussed. Believe me, nobody there including customers, is going backwards to Jap cars. Build quality, durability, performance, safety, servicability...what else is there to mention that German cars have over Jap cars? Jap cars have nothing except cheapness and fuel efficientcy (percieved) going for them.

Default I dunno how you define "Great". "Neat-o"or"keen" better describes Honda.Can a "Family Camry" keep up

with your 3.0? You are getting off onto a tangent that Honda cannot pull you out of. Relax, in couple of hours you will be King of the Road again.

No doubt it's an Audi, a tweaked B5.It*is*better than Honda in every way, documented for reference.

B5 is pre face lift, B5.5 is after ('01.5?).
