i may be shopping for a new DD soon.... and i'm wondering if there are some cars i'm forgetting about. i'm looking for a car that will be an everyday car that i can take to work, and also take clients in....

here are my must haves...

must seat four. four doors preferred.
must be good in the winter. (awd preferred)
must be able to be easily (i say $2K or less) bumped into the low 13's, yet still retain everyday useability and reliablilty.
must be realistic... nothing more than $40K msrp to be honest...
can't be ricey


so far, i'm thinking...

S4
subie legacy GT
gto (but winter drivability is a big ?)
maybe a wrx... but it would have to have the deleted wing

what i'm not considering

wrx sti
evo's


ideas?

Get a 2002-2005 Audi A4 1.8T save much $$$ from the S4 and I will hand you a low 13 sec car with the $$$ you saved no probs. GT28RS is all I need to say.

And Audi's are reasonably moderate cost wise to upgrade, I would say not much more than the SVT I had but instead you get hard bones performance like REAL 20awhp at a time instead of counting 3-4fwhp at a time improvements.

oh yea, plus you will be officially a PIMP and let me tell you if you have a girlfriend it would kinda suck with all the honeys you will pull in with a Audi as oppose to the Ford I had.

If you can afford it get a 2004 or 05 it comes with a 6 speed like what I bought. 2002-2003 comes with 5.
