I'm only posting this to share my dilemma, which car should I buy? I know the folks reading this will be biased but here's my options...so far.

Audi S3 Prestige
Nissan 370Z NISMO Tech
Ford Mustang GT Premium

All are 2015 models and all can be had for around $45-47K. I can get a military discount on all of them so dealer mark ups and haggling will be a non-player.

So...other than the obvious (4 door vs 2, engine power, AWD) feel free to post your comments and opinions. I'm not expecting anyone to sway me one way or the other...just looking for what everyone thinks of these choices.

The 370z is purpose built, but not practical. S3 is a blended car and not as powerful as the Mustang. Ford Mustang is a fine daily and can use 87 Octane. Where do you live? If you live in a northern climate, I'd get the S3. If Southern climate, I might be inclined towards Mustang. 370Z is the car for me if it's not my daily.

The 370Z is nice, but the interior is a hard plastic container from last Decade... The outside still looks pretty decent but Nissan really needs to replace that car.

I'm not sure where I'll be stationed next, it'll either be New Mexico or Florida. Two totally different climates for sure. My wife has a '13 Corolla so practicality isn't really the issue as we can use her car for any long distance trips. Having owned FWD, RWD and AWD I'm more than comfortable driving either in winter time with proper tires. At some point I plan to get a cheap pickup truck as I'm into diving and other outdoor activities that require storage of gear.

I've not seen the interior of a 370z in person yet, my wife will be looking into that for me as she is currently in the states.
