Default Options..

Love my 02 A4 Avant (sport/5 speed/xeons) but getting an itch to get something else (a bit larger) however, i dont want to lose the stick shift. I am thinking my options are: (I dont owe anything on this car)

-Saab 9.5 Aero Wagon
-Audi Allroad (but is discontinued, dont want to buy a discontinued automobile)
-BMW 5 Series Wagon
-Volvo R type (V70 R)

also tossing a convertable around too....but a wagon is more pratical for hauling surfboards/bikes/gear..but we do own a Nissan Armada too....hmmmmmm

Default I just switched from a V70R to an A4 Avant Ultrasport...

I have an 04 Volvo V70R 6spd that a drove for the past 1.5 years and I got bored of it, now the wife is driving it. I justed picked up a 2005 A4 Avant ultrasport which I like better. I miss the power, but the handling of the Audi is way better. The volvo is nice, and awesome on the highway at 80+, put not great on bumpy New England backroads. Gas mileage is poor on the Volvo also - 21.5 to 22mpg. Definitely a bit bigger than the Audi, but not a huge difference.
