AWD and Forced Induction Cars?

[bunkerking09 10+ year member]

Well guys, I'm almost done paying off my GTI, and i'm tired of driving something that is FWD, so I'm wanting to go AWD, but keep my forced induction.

The two obvious choices would be either a WRX STi, or Lancer Evo. This is a coin-flip.

I was also thinking an earlier Audi S4? Or maybe a BMW 335xi? Mazdaspeed6?

Thoughts? Opinions? Would like to keep it under 20K, hoping that I can sell mine for 10K

Here's my whip, for those who were wondering.

and now with an R32 front bumper

I've been a euro guy ever since I bought my 20th. Jumping over to an audi would be a ton of fun i think. And they're luxurious on the inside //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Thats what I meant, big turbo(S). And you think all I would need is a K04 and chip to make over 400WHP? That would be sick, and not nearly as expensive as I thought. Of course I would end up going with a FMIC as well.

Thats why I'd take the audi over the others. I mean yeah, the evo and all CAN be nice on the inside, but the audis were built around luxury. And boy oh boy are they a sharp looking car.

Take care of your ish and you'll be good. yeah parts may be a tad more expensive when you do have to replace, but if its done right and taken care of any care can last.

A tad more is an under statement... My GF sister owns an Audi and just to get the oil changed was 100 bucks... just to get a new key for her moms BMW was well over 100 bucks

The biggest problems with the s4 are the water pumps and timing chain or belt I forget which it is it's expensive at the time but usually around 100k is when they blow out

this is pretty much with any Audi or V-dub. Mine is about due for both //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

If you want different....look for a Mitsu VR4, or a Dodge Stealth RT/TT. Same car really, the mitsu just has a few more interior gadgets. Both awd and both TT. Nice looking too.
