I'm no expert 850

but my general impression is that Audis are no better (or worse) than Volvos when it comes to reliability, and there is at least of 2 of everything to break.

If you visit the BMW board note the amount of time they spend discussing car polish, flaming each other and flaming each other about car polish, and the amount of time they spend discussing insoluble problems.

I don't consider a Volvo completely "done for" at 130,000 miles (at least I hope) but then again I'm not a student, although I AM paying for a college at the moment.

The 10% of the time I spoke of is times like in the middle of an ice storm when a BMW which is so nice on dry roads would be terrifying. Or the cement mixer without brakes starts rolling downhill.

If you live in the snow or ice belt, do buy a set of winter tires whatever you buy.
