Default Hey Guys Year Question on B6 A4 (what's the best year)

Hey Guys,

How's it going from your older A4 brother? =) My friend is currently in the market for a used B6 A4, and I was wondering what was the best model year. Like for the B5's its usually 99.5 since they were the last N-DBW model with all the new interior and exterior upgrades that the 00 and 01 models have. I searched in the archives and I've read a few posts that say that the "best" model for the B6's are 2002 since they came with more options? What is the "best" year of Audi to get so far? Thanks in advance for all the info!

Default Options wise and lowest stock suspension, it seems to be the 2002..but...

...it is the first year of the new model so it might have more problems then say a 2004 model.
