I come from a land down under, Where beer does flow and men chunder
The GSRs came before the EVOs. And I'd go for the GSR myself, they're awesome sleepers.

We didn't get Evolutions until 2003. So the earliest is the Evo. VIII.

Did your A4 courtesy car have FWD (fail wheel drive?)

Save your self the rolaids and go the quiggs route by buying a GTI. They can be had for pennies and seem reliable.

If you would have driven an A4 Quattro, I'm sure your experience would have been better.

And early TipTronic equipped VAG products had some issues.

I think that the main problem with modern Audis is the steering feel.

There just isn't any.

Zytek Fan, good luck with the car search.

By the way, what is the difference between a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution RS and a GSR. I believe the GSR model has better car features than the RS model.
