Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Fun Semi Daily Driver?

[Michael James (cavallino_rapante]

Nothing made by Audi is bulletproof - everyone I know who owns one is wishing they bought the turbo-BMW instead.  Or a bicycle.  Lots of horror stories about Audis.

 

My Ferrari mechanic is getting rid of his Audi - and he found 456 GT maintenance "agreeable".  Our German friends have really propped-up their economy with their automotive offerings this past decade....

 

Hey, Lash, what do you think of a Dodge Charger RT or SRT-8?  If those are too big/thirsty, perhaps the Dart with the 2.4L Tigershark engine might fit the bill?  Dart should be bigger, and cheaper, than the Fiat.

Actually, come to think of it, has anyone brought up the Audi S4? Fun to drive, four seats, comfortable, bulletproof, and in your price range.

We have lots of diehard Porsche buddies.

We've seen and heard the full spectrum with regards to reliability.

On one end are stories such as Adam's $100k flight of fancy to absolutely bulletproof, repair free experiences with the usual stealership maintenance situations.

My wife has had a Boxter but I've never had a P before.

Having said that, even the average of all of the stories is pretty dismal.

Honestly, as a seventh car, we don't want to gamble. This car needs to get my wife to work on a regular basis. I would rather save the maintenance budget for another exotic in the spring.

Lots of noise on this topic. My fun daily driver is an '08 Cayman. Best built car I have ever owned.
