Default My Ol' Man wants a Roadster too...suggestions??

Any suggestions on what he should look at? He probably wont be purchasing until falll. My Mom will be driving it as her daily driver so she will need somthing that will be good in the snow and easy to handle. Im thinking Audi TT Quattro 225. Any other AWD roadsters around?


Man, he's got to stop driving my car!

Eclipse GS-T Spyder with some bolt ons.

12 secs, looks sweet, decent daily driver.

Seriously, Mike's right - a roadster isn't the greatest daily driver.

A4 Cabrio is out now, and it's got the 1.8T so room for performance as well.

Peace.

A4 Cabrio all the way.

TT is really not my thing. You either have to drive with another guy or wear black turtlenecks all the time.

Anyone go on www.myaudittsucks.com? It's really um, interesting.

The new A4 sedan is STUNNING in blue! But there's somethin' about the Cabrio version that doesn't flow well. The lines of the Cabrio doesnt combine well with the headlights and the body style is too small for this design, cuz the design is more adaptive on bigger cars, like the A4 sedan. Maybe the sedan and cabrio have the same length but visually, the lines doesnt blend well with the body style...

i will never buy another VW. very poor customer service, very very poor diagnostics ( usually more then 1 trip to the dealer to get the problem fixed), very very expensive part - i got charged 40 bucks for a raido fuse and the 12,000 dollar engine they tried to sell me when they broke my engine 3 yrs ago.

$0.02
