      I like my A4.

      I leased my daughter a 3 series and she trashed it. So when the lease was up, I got her got a Ford Fusion that she now pays for.
      I stay busy.

        a4's are for poor people

        a8 is where its at

        either way, make her get a job, and buy her some pos car. She should earn it herself, unless you want her to be some superficial gold digger (like my g/f lol)

          only thing that makes a car safe is the driver.

          Get her a renault clio.

            We are going in to the dealer this morning so she can test drive them both.
            Good news is she only is interested in 6sp.
            Yah wise choice. Thats what I said.. There's no better way to tell what you want than driving them both. Good luck.

              I was planning on getting her a BMW 3 series,but she really wants the Audi.
              This is what your daughter really wants:



              It slips through bollards, can be parked anywhere you can drag it and goes faster the more you lose weight.

                You obviously didn't read any of the thread.
                She is a law student,she is interning 3 days a week in the district attorneys office helping to put criminals in jail. When she finishes school and passes the bar that is what she will be doing for her career.

                BTW, I looked at the A8 when she test drove the A4, it's a battleship.
                I have college age kids and I'm not old enough to drive that.
                I'll stick with my Lamborghini,Porsche's and Benz for a few more years.

                  There are lot's of people with statements about how they "don't want to tell you how to raise your daughter, BUT..."

                  My dad sold me my first car, and it was a piece of shit. I had to dump paycheck after paycheck into keeping it running, and i lost one job from it breaking down.

                  That being said, I was having the same debate between bwm and audi, but after a terrible time at the ONLY bmw dealership around, i've made up my mind to go with audi. Look into the service centers in your area particularly and see what their reps are like. All cars need service at some point, but if you start hearing stories about how a dealership took 6 days to replace a battery, you know you've got trouble.

                    We're lucky here in Madison, one dealership sells all of them. Porsche,Audi,BMW and Mercedes. And I am a good longterm customer there.
                    We ended up buying an A4 quatro today. She really liked it,and I couldn't find any reason not to go with it.

                    I knew the minute I posted this thread that there would be a percentage of GFY'ers that would know more about what is right for my family than I do.
                    I would've been surprised if it had been any other way.

                      there's a couple of them actually around here, but they're dealership promo cars I believe. You watch, they'll release it in june and make us wait

                      I might have to stop by the dealership on the way home from work this week and see what it would cost to get out of the 3, and into the twin turbo 1 ;)

                        I think you should let her buy her own car. What is the point of you handing her something she might not be able to afford on her own.

                        What if she changes her mind and becomes not the attorney you thought she wanted to be. A better lesson would be to help her buy one. Negotiate one with her budget not yours. This is a nice gestuer but not the smartest one regardless of if you can afford. Be thankful you have the time to actually teach something of value for things not reward her for doing what is expected.

                          She's a college student. She can barely afford tennis shoes.
                          Besides,it's an Audi not a Aston-Martin. It's a low $30,000 dollar car.

                          Maybe i'll get her a Lamborghini Spyder for the summer. Then GFY can really have something to chew on.

                              Actually I think this is one of the few instances where I would consider getting my kid a car. I mean here you have a daughter who is doing her part and showing pretty huge initiative going to law school. My own parents certainly weren't shy about helping me out during the few times in my life when I needed it.

                              Although they never bought me a car they DID help me out financially one or two times, not the least of which was when I injured my back at work back in '97 and had to seek an entirely new career for myself. It was a time of crisis and huge change in my life, and I'll never forget the help they provided me.

                              No, in this case I think Minte's doing the right thing. He's proud of his daughter and not only wants to help her along but wants to reward her for all the initiative she's shown. It's not everyone's kid that goes through law school, certainly not everyone's kid does exceedingly well amongst those who DO go.

                              Maybe she'll go into internet law and we can all hire her. :D

                                I hope it is as good a winter car as advertised. She has to drive country roads nearly 50 miles each way to the court house. And the snow is just around the corner.
