RE: VR6 Maintenance

["Tony Mori" <tonym@compusource.net>]

I had a similar choice last week.

1) Acura 3.0CL
2) Audi A4 1.8/Quattro/5Spd(lower pmt, even!!)
3) Honda Accord
4) Infiniti G20
5) Jetta GLX

Chose the GLX, haven't regretted it. I *LOVE* that 'over 4000rpm growl' that
the VR6 makes. It's awesome.
