Default Why should I?

Ok here's where I'm at:

I want a sedan that has AWD. I'm debating on whether I should get an A4 1.8T Quattro which is a beautiful car that I'm falling in love with; or the Subaru WRX that costs a lot less and is much quicker.

What are some of your opinions?

It depends on what you are looking for. You cant beat German engineering.

Default because the car isnt a beefed up econobox

you can always tune an audi to go faster and retain the niceities of the audi.... You cant make a WRX a nice car to own... the interior will ALWAYS suck and it will always be a subaru impreza.

Default well its either perf or looks

A4 performance is decent, but the interior blows the subaru out of the water and most other cars out there. If interior doesnt matter to you and perf does, WRX all the way.

i was in the same boat. I am so happy I bought a 2001 a4 with 22k. It will hold its value more than the wrx and is a lot nicer car.
