I think that picture is S4 but it could be a moded A4 too. You said you dont wanna be at the mechanic every second weekend and with an audi, thats highly possible. I like them but that old and under 20 000 in canada, they probably have lots of KM. If you are looking at a specific one, look for engine sludge for sure.
Legacy I know nothing about so I cant help you but like ppl said above g35x is good too. I dont know if they came manual in canada before 2005-2006 so they could be more than 20 000

Yeah G35x was a good idea, no manual unfortunately.
I'd LOVE an S4 but I wonder what the maintenance and upkeep is like on it... |

Another candidate: Mazdaspeed 6. Turbo, AWD, 6 speed. You can pick one up with like 25K miles for 17-19, warranty 4 yrs/50K miles....
I just picked up a 6 grand touring and I love it....only had it a few days tho. You'd be surprised at the options list these can come with and how cheap you can get them.

A little more than 20K but with some research, you can find them. They're AWD with 274HP... A4's you can get for cheap now, you can go with the 2005.5+ sedan Just a FYI 04+ are 6 speed, 02-03 are 5

Even the standard '05+ Legacy GT has more balls than the A4s. Plus, if you plan on modding, STi longblock ftw!
I don't know if its available in Canada but you could also consider an Impreza 2.5RS or a WRX up there if available. |

^That would be my pick as well. RL...if you feel it's too big or luxurious for you, get a Legacy GT.

FWIW: I maintained my wife's 2000 VW Jetta (Audi) it's entire life, and after a while, parts of the car just seemed to disintegrate. All coolant hose connections / junctions / distribution blocks were made of plastic and only took so many heat cycles before crumbling to pieces! The waterpump impeller was made of plastic and fell apart leaving the car inoperable on the way to work. The engine oil dipstick tube crumbled (plastic) one day while checking the oil. The glovebox handle fell off. The power mirror switch fell apart. Hood release lever fell off. The cup holder broke and slid out of the dash all the time. Keep in mind, my wife is tiny @ 4' tall and all of 110 lbs, hardly an animal. Although the car handled extremely well and drove smoothly when not broken down, it became a real PITA after about 100k miles.
Moral: If you're only gonna keep it for a few years and then sell it off before things start to go awry, go for it, they can be fun, sporty cars to drive. Based on my experience, though, I won't buy or recommend a used VW/Audi. |

If you can drop manny tranny as a requirement, the 2005 RL is selling in some corners for around $20k. It meets all your other criteria.
4 Doors--check Something that didn't require service every other week--it's an Acura....check Good on the highway (low cabin noise, decent MPG)--26-28 mpg on the highway, noise cancellation....check AWD.....SH-AWD FTMFW and yes it is that good.....a few bennies of RWD without actually being RWD....double checkUnder $20k

2009 Mini Cooper S ClubmanMy Garage |
A customer of mine came to me offering his car on trade....
2002 A4 1.8T Quattro Manual with Premium and (I think) Sport Package, Had Xenon headlights too....81k(or was it 88k? ) miles, silver/black, nice car, original paint too....I felt that the clutch had little life left and would probably change it if I bought it to re-sell. It drove fine, didn't slip or anything but the point of engagement was VERY high compared to what it would normally be, telling me that the clutch should be changed soon (owner told me it's the original clutch). Other than that, the front bumper had a few scratches and the driver's side rear door had a small dent that would need to be fixed. Of course I would have everything fixed before I sold it. If I did sell it, it would definately be under $10k US....Interested? As of now I offered less for the trade in anticipation of having to fix everything, but the owner felt he can sell it on his own and make more money, but if you want to know some more about it, I can get some snapshots for you. It's a pretty clean, well maintained car. Let me know!

Love the look of the A4s, but I just wish they were more reliable. I have just heard too many horror stories of the Audis that I would be hesitant to purchase one especially if I was thinking about running the car for a long time. I would just pick up a Legacy GT and add some exterior mods to spice it up. I've seen some really nice ones around after its been lowered, aftermarket rims and exhaust.

I really enjoyed my A4, it was the longest car i ever owned. ![]() Granted i didnt have high mileage (45k) i did however have decent about of mods that put more stress on that motor. No major issues besides the typical coilpack failures. Which is cheap and easy to fix without tools. Other common issues were fuel pump failures (never had it) and oil sludge. Oil sludge was mostly from those not doing regular oil changes with synthetic. So get service records if you can to make sure those were done regularly. Window regulators also were issues but i had only one fail. Otherwise its a great car. Also do the timing belt and water pump change around 60k miles. They tend to fail around 80k+ miles. ![]() Most of the stuff i listed was from being on the audi forums for 3 years and listening to other peoples issues.
