I'll assume you are not a troll and answer honestly.
Back in 95 and 96 (and now even) how many 4 door cars could be had with a powerful (for the time) V6 and a manual transmission for under 20k? And even without that - the early SE's and the later SVT's were/are some of the best handling FWD cars on the road. Read some of the reviews off the links page and you'll see the SVT comapared favorbaly too (and beat) A4's, 3 series, the G20, Jetta....
Now there are a lot of base level 4 cylinder, softly sprung ATX tours out there that may not really fit the sports sedan description - but a lot of us actually really like the way the 'tour looks.
Now did you actually have a problem with your 'tour that would warrant this post being in the troubleshooting forum?
Even with 70,000 miles on mine I still find myself taking the long twisty route to the grocery store just because the car is so much fun to drive. Reliabilty (for my car at least) has been admittedly very poor - but the plusses far outweigh the minuses. I call it the worst car I ever loved
