I'm going car shopping today..........
 
I decided that I'm done with my integra.......it's too much of a hassle changing wheels in the winter, worrying about speed bumps, and spending money on mods........so.......I'm going to get a sportier, more practical sedan of some sort, preferably one with AWD, because I'm always skiing, and I'm sick of my car sliding everywhere......it's scary.

I have it narrowed down to three cars:

!) MazdaSpeed protege - I know it's not AWD, but I can deal for this one. I know it's not the fastest, but it's a complete package (sound system, performance, etc), and it's by far the best looking one out of the group.

2) WRX - We have the dealer talked down to 18k on a one year old WRX with the biggest factory warranty, and OEM mods like the exhaust, short shifter, and BOV.....all under warranty.

3) Used 1.8T A4 quattro.......I've always loved Audis, especially the A4's. AWD is nice, but I'm worried about it being underpowered for the weight. It doesn't bother me that much however, anything faster than my LS is fine with me, and I like a nice interior with leather.


I'm going for the complete package here..........not just balls out performance, otherwise I would already have an SRT4........what do you all think?

I'd go w/ the WRX for the sporty feel and the Audi for a more mature feel. IMO

WRX, but you'll end up modding it anyway.

yeah, I thought you got a Prelude too.:dunno:

As for a car, I say get the WRX or the SRT-4. The SRT-4 is one quick car at an affordable price, but its not AWD like the WRX is.:)
