61K, black nice shape. Keeping the type 44, but traded my old Nissan Sentra. So far so good.

I always liked those. Did you get AWD or FWD? I used to have a Subaru XT back when I was 17 years old. My first manual trans car. Subaru makes a decent product.

crazy looking, yes. Heavy and slow? yes.

I am always wondering, what these designers were thinking while make those crazy shaped windows. Nice car. Powerfull AWD, but automatic. Some people installing Legacy's manual transmission on SVX.

The windows take some getting used to. Performance is under 8 seconds to 60.

I know a guy out here who has twin turbo'd his SVX and it redlines at 10,000 rpm. It's a crazy/scary ride!

I am thinking of saving up for a '97 A8, but you give me an idea.

Gosh, it's so time consuming to deal with the Audi God (ie money pit).

Default Makes a good motor donor for retrofitting VW Westfalias ;-)
Do a search for "Vanagon VX" and I think it will turn it up.

I'm looking seriously at an A4 1.8TQ. Any thoughts on these?
