Default What should I look for/know about buying say a 2000 S4?

I'm currently driving a TT, and I've started to feel the need for a little extra space, but I'm not for sacrificing performance

Also- anyone have an idea of how handling compares to the TT?

Default if you want these horrible things to come with your car: ESP, Heavier, Less nimble, ESP, heavier!

or you could not worry about the year and upgrade the parts that are not so hot on the 2000 model (tbb,fhose,maf) that is what i did, and no way in hell i would trade for an 01.5

Default I have A, if you put two STOCK cars, M Box and A Box, the A box will be lighter

by more than 5lbs

Default Why is it more nimble? Less weight?

I doubt 5lbs would make much of a difference.

What about the middle man? H BOX?!?!

Default '00 definitely has its good sides, M and T box cars seem to have a wider range of software available

though. thats a consideration for those of us who dont live near moss

Don't shy away from the 2000's, especially if you can save a bundle over a later model.
