So requirements are 4 doors, 2002 or newer, needs to be realtivly quick for its class and cheap. Lookin to spend like 10K so ive been finding Type S and Maxima's with like 60K on em for that. Looked at an Audi A6 for about 5 minutes before I realized what i was doing, i test drove it and thought something was wrong with the car but no they are realy just that slow. How do you ---- up a 3 liter twin turbo so bad it doesnt even put out 200whp. Pathetic Audi=slow.

Test drove an I35 today turned TCS off and left like 30 yards worth of stripe from the stop light, god i love that nissan pull.

Anything else fall into my catagory?

Those all seem to be competitors in the mid size range. You can get an 01 tl-s for cheap, but not sure how you feel about mileage. Note the auto j32 trannys are junk and love to go. Several class action lawsuits have scored a 100k powertrain warrenty though. I guess i'd go tl-s or i35, ---- audi. Then again i'm not a fan of nissan either. I voted for the herp

Yeah i did my homework and the tranny issue was resolved in marrch 05 and honda extended the warrenty based off Vin's till like 107K i think. I gotta get 02 or newer thoguh due to the Auto loan. and i figure hell if im takin a loan out then i want it as low milage as possible.

I thought about the IS300 but isnt that like deathly slow? Always thoguth they looked hot but felt the same abotu an audi. All that disenchatment left me when the ford explorer took off from the light faster than the A4 i was in could keep up, and the explorer didnt know we were racing. I do not plan to mod the car or race it but if i cant beat SUV's im gonna aim the car for a wall.

i like the tl's. but 18 mpg kills me...same thing with a g35.

you cant really get wonderful gas milage in a 4 door sedan, unless you want to go with something that is slow as *****. My friend has a g35 and its pretty quick, i'd say its as fast or faster than my GTP. The interior kicks *** too, reclining rear seats.

My girlfriend has the is300 and i drive it everytime i am with her, cuz she doesnt want to drive, but it is extremely slow. Really slow, its torqueless, has decent high end i suppose, but the engine makes zero torque. Shift points in it **** me off too. On the good side it gets decent gas mialge, 320-350 per tank.

Audi does not, and has never made a twin-turbo 3.0l anything. A6 got a 2.7turbo and a 3.0l n/a V6. You drove a n/a car because a 2.7a6 will stomp a mudhole in a mustang Gt from a dig.

But I agree ---- Audi. Always Under Diagnostic Inspection



Anything not Japanese is asking for trouble. When it does break, it will break you.

I would get an automatic wrx. No major problems and enough parts laying around that it wont kill you if something does break.

wrx interior sucks
