Hi there,
I want to buy a decent small SUV or stn. wagon.
After some research I narrowed the choice down to two models:
Audi Quattro A4 1.8T and Subaru Forester 2.5XT.
I had already test drives and I like both of them.
SubaruXT has more power but Audi has far better finishing/interior.
I have to make the final choice.

Could anyone share the opinion on any of these cars ?
Any data on reliability/maintenance/cost of use/fuel economy ?
Thank you,
Marek.

The Audi would cost a fortune to repair when it breaks so it's outta the
question.
(i hate furrin cars)
The Soobaroo is cool but if i was u
i would p/u that Suzuki SUV with the
removable roof panels and that
(oh so smooth) shift on the fly 4wd.

I'll admit to being biased, but I'd go for the Subaru myself. Of course
that's partly because I already own a Subaru Outback and have driven my
mother's Forester from time to time as well. Of course, you've presented
yourself with a tough choice...

Audis are nice, but almost... too nice. If I had a car like that I'd be
afraid of scuffing it up big time. Subies are more like a wash-and-wear
kind of car, you won't see me bursting into tears when the Outback gets hit
by a shopping cart. The dents make mine look different anyway. ;)
