Okay, how about a Subaru WRX STI Impreza Wangon....Think of all the fun you could have beatin' the blank out of this in town and commuting, plus it would be a fearless blast at the track!

 

Agreed - A6. I just sold my 996TT and have had my 2007 A6 4.2 for about six months. It's a bigger car that takes some getting used to but it offers great advantages and you can find them for real bargains right now.

Mine is fully loaded with NAV, S-line, sport seats, Xenon adaptable headlights, interior lighting package, paddle shifters and push button start. I've taken my daughter and friends out to the Sierras and made a few long trips with the car. It really comes into it's own on the freeway and the bluetooth, phone and stereo are all outstanding. Also the trunk is HUGE at 16 cubic feet and oh - it's four wheel drive for the snow. I've been averaging 20mpg in the last 6k miles (25mpg plus on highway only)

I really like the 5 series but I think the Audi's interior is nicer and barring getting a 535-x you won't get 4wd. The BMW 's truck is smaller as well.

Look to spend about $22K and up depending on the year - 2007 and 2008 are the best bargains and the 3.2 is fine as well but harder to find in the S-Line.

If it has less than 45K miles skip the CPO and get the Audi Pure Protection Plan (extended warranty) from Paul at Rector. It covers much more than the CPO and its pro-rated if you sell the car.

Good luck.

 

I vote e63 wagon, but that outta yoiur price range so I'd go with some sorta audi sline wagon, or tdi wagon (my dd),depending what sorta driving/performace you want, the wagons are soooo handy

 

All great suggestions, sounds like the 535i is a favorite. Similar to our TT- a stage 1or2 tune yields quite a but of Hp/TQ. Also there are a few decent sounding exhausts to waken it up a bit. If I went A6 would prefer the new 3.0T- just something about boosted cars!

Should get my title for the Prius then it's dealin time!

 

take a look at the Infiniti M37 - comfort, styling at a reasonable price.

 

Might actually be a new company car now. Been working an angle for myself and staff to get cars and they just approved it today... Now I need to decide for myself if this is the route I want to take. Last I checked we offered Sonatas and Altimas with everything included. Only responsible for personal miles portion taxation.

Think financially it would be tough to turn down- thoughts?

 

Won't you have the option to not except the company car yet still collect the additional ($400+ or whatever) monthly allowance? Thus, allowing you to apply that additional cash to a vehicle of your choice?

 

Nope, all or nothing turns out. Could still collect the IRS $.555/mile standard should I refuse the comp car, but no hybrid deals or allowance.

 

My buddy has an E55 wagon for sale at his place...
