i really wouldn't recommend a turbo audi, unless you want a repeat of the Z. the 6 cylinder cars aren't bad depending on what year you want.
TSX is a great choice, maybe Mazda6?
I haven't even looked at Audis, because I'd be very uncomfortable owning one without warranty coverage. Thats not only due to your experience Scotty, but anecdotal evidence from a couple of friends locally. I just don't have a warm fuzzy about those cars. Or VWs (thanks Adam).
Mazda 6? Meh. Drove one for a week out in San Diego - it was competent but nothing special. I'm definitely tending towards the "luxury" segment, what with being a crotchety old man and all...
NINJA EDIT: Saw Evan's comment - maybe I should revisit the 6?
My two feet.
