Lee - Have you kept a car long enough to even worry about after warranty? Yeah, leasing may make sense, but that hasn't prevented you from buying before. You are way too much a perfectionist to have a car that rattles and whatnot... I think you know that about yourself. That changes somewhat after kids, but it's gonna be a few years before you're in that phase. Get one last hurrah in before your vehicles become pure utility. Were it me, I'd buy a CPO 2016 S3 and risde the warranty out the remaining four years. After that, get a kid hauler. (Replace S3 with something similarly fun, since your brother has one).

"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
