2.5 Rs
I'm looking at getting a new car and ultimately the decision has come down to getting a 2.5 RS. Now I do realize that this is the wrong forum to be posting in, but I've been a member on here for quite some time now and I trust the people on this forum more than those on i-club or whatnot.
My parents are requireing that the car I get has AWD. So this limits me to a few cars. I also have MAX to spend of $20K. I've looked at used Audi Quattros and Passat 4-motions, however my parents are also requiring that there be less than 40K miles on the car, so I'm pretty much set on either a new or a used 2.5 RS.
I was wondering what experiences people have had with the 2.5 RS and what year would be the best to look for if I don't buy a new one. Any information on this car would be great, as I don't know much about Scubies. Anyways, thank you for your help.
PS...I'm not some rich little kid who's mommy and daddy are buying me a car. Don't flame me for that. I'm 20, up to my neck in college loans, but I need a car, so they are helping me pay for it...due to the fact that I'm paying $40K a year for college.

2000-01 is the best years. They have the 1st generations good looks, a better motor for mods than the 98' and 99'(98 was a phase 1 motor, 99 has a maf sensor that likes to go bad), and a rear LSD.

Thanks guys for all the input. I'll look into a 00-01 then. I like the big fog lights and the "non-functional" hood stuff, which I'm assuming is on the 00-01? Thanks again.

2.5 RS is a nice daily driver
the GC8 (to 2001) is lighter then the 2002+
the GDA (2002+) is stiffer, but heavier.
