Lookins good, shown through subaru too, turbo + symetrical awd = engeneering excellence.

Carnt go wrong with an AUDI Quattro, Euro design and apparently there very reliable but man parts are super expensive.
EG i replaced front wheel bearings in a ford EF XR6 for $75.00 each and my mate replaced his on his AUDI A4 B6 for $380.00 each

I was actually looking also at the S3 when I was in market for F6. Was nice, not as quick, also like a big car and wanted something to stay part of club. Good luck though, Audi's are nice cars.
