What types of tranny Problems?
I need HELP. I have a 2001 Type S and I am looking at trading the car in as the handling is iffy and I am reading some scary stuff about the transmission on this Board. I have two questions:
1.What types of problems are people having with the tranny?
2. What would you get instead - S4, 330, MB, ???

Don't be worried about the tranny. Only about 4-8 people in this forum have had problems. So its not a huge problem that you need to worry about.
Now as for what car to get, save up and get a CLK430
I would.

yes, the brakes are an issue....my rotors are warped at 12k miles.
i'm hoping the dealer will take care of this as a "courtesy" repair since these aren't covered by the warranty...sad thing is that i don't drive the car hard at all and haven't been any harder on the brakes than any of my cars in the past.

As for the brakes, yeah I know there a problem, but just fork out a couple hundred bucks and get some cross drilled rotors They have some on Autocarparts.com They work pretty good from what I've seen
