Hey guys, used to have a B5 (totaled)

Now have a TT

Need another 'more practical' car to make the TT a weekend car.

I'm really leaning towards an 02 or 03 Avant.

Besides the 'normal' Audi stuff (that I'm already well aware of) is there anything specific to 02 or 03 years I need to be aware of?

My old B5 was an 01 so the engine I know is very similar to the B6

Thanks all!

Avant Sport

'04+ if you want a 6 speed, that'd be my choice

But I actually would prefer an Auto; just because I plan on driving it a lot (and in a lot of traffic)

The TT will suffice as my weekend 6 speed car! :-D

Find yourself an 05 Ultrasport - that is all.

2003 is a good bet, although they had some fuel pump problems (resolved under a recall). Coilpacks go, interior switches peel, fuel pumps die, but that's about it really. Just make sure you get a Tiptronic and quattro, and not a CVT (automatic but FWD) (that's a whole different issue)

or an 04 usp....8^)

Ouch lol

Aren't Avants only Quattro? (if not, it's all I'd buy anyways)

Haven't seen any evidence that 02 is less reliable - and there were a few things like heated rear seats that they later "cheaped out" on.

My '02 has been fine as well.
