That's what I'm leaning towards. But now I heard that the BMW 330ci is around the same price as the S2000. If so, I'm going with that.

Ok I have decided. I"m going with the Lexus. I just found out that with everything that I want on it it's gonna cost exactly $32,000. Of coarse I won't pay that much cuz I'm gonna talk them down. I will keep you all posted.

Audi is the best of them all. I would imagine you're talking about an A4 with a 1.8T. Its definately the best engineered car, and the aftermarket for it is still really good. APR does a ton of stuff for the 1.8T engine. You can easily get them to 290hp. Now if you got that plus Quattro... I wish I had money.

DAMN!!! They are that cheap????? OK I have made up my mind, thanks to white2k2ex. 2003 Audi A4 1.8T Quatro it is!!!!!! It sucks though cuz I'd still like to be a part of the site. I'd feel retarded chatting on here if I have a different car. I will be getting it in about a month. I'll keep whoever is still interested posted.

Nice to know I could be of some help. If you're still into tuning, try APR They're the best at modifying Audis and Volkswagens. But now I'm jealous, I want an Audi sooo bad. Good Luck!

I drove a 1.8 not with turbo but it had the quattro 4 wheel drive. If you take it for a test drive hit the highway side streets dont do it justice.

Lexus will kill the other 2 in reliability, durability, quality, and resale value. But it's about what makes ya happy so, get whichever floats ya boat.

what the hell are you talking about. True, Lexus/Toyota has one of the best reliability ratings on the market. But it's not like Audis are breaking down left and right. IMO the new A4 looks better, and the 1.8t has serious modding potential, and the car is more unique. If you want to look like the hundreds of moms out there driving IS300's, then so be it. If u want a nice quality german car with some serious speed potential, I'd go for an A4.

You should seriously consider the BMW 330. That's what I have now, and I did look at the IS300 when shopping but felt the 330 was much better.

Worst turbo lag in a car that I have ever felt in my life. Everyone has one now too. I'm all set. Thanks for the info though.
