pablos-

No offense taken. I appreciate your being frank and am in agreement with you. Bessie (as I refer to fiancee's car) has ZERO juice. Not even 1/2 diluted apple juice! :-)

Anyhow, I am hear to learn and there's nothing better than someone who puts it as bluntly as "wake up and smell the coffee!"

Fiancee drives ~5 miles to/from work, all city driving, and rarely needs any "get-up-and-go" for merging onto highways. It's a beater and serves its purpose.

I, on the other hand, need the juice for highway driving. I recently sold my 2000 Audi A4 2.8 quattro as it was too small. Also, feared maintenance costs once warranty expired... I've heard they are one of the most expensive to maintain!

Before Audi, drove 1991 Saab 900S, know what it's like. That's why I'm asking about reliability. I know it will cost more than an Accord/Camry, but I am willing to pay a bit more for the luxury.

Thanks for your response.
