I've read a shitload of reviews on the internet and countless threads on HT but I'm curious what the people here think. As 3 years is the kiss of death for car ownership for me I'll probably unload my car later this year. I thought I was pretty dead set on a B6 S4 but I've always had a thing for the S60R. I sat in one this past weekend at the Auto Show and it was actually really comfortable. Anyone ever owned, driven or rode in one?
Here's my list of wants and needs so everyone can tell me why a car not mentioned is a much better choice.
*Manual - Do I really need to explain this one?
*4 Doors - Call me old but I really like being able to cram crap in the back seat with ease.
*Warranty - I'm a warranty whore, although it didn't get me shit this time around
*2004+ - I'm a firm believer that you should be buying a car newer than your last if you're spending the cash.
*Import - Nothing about American cars impress me, period.
*35k or less - I've had no car payment first time in 8 years and it's glorious. I want to keep it that way.
*AWD - Playing in the snow, what little we have, is a huge plus for me.
*225+ bhp - My last two cars were an E36 M3 and B5 S4, you do the math.
*Leather - Last two cars have been leather and I'm just used to it.
*Heated Seats - What can I say, I like my ass being toasty in the winter.
*Satellite Radio - Always said my next car would have it.
*SatNav - Same as above but this is more a luxury item.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
