Default For those married w/ kids still in car seats (I have 2),

would you have still bought the RS4 in light of all the other choices? That is, if you didn't need a back seat for the little ones. . .or for clients, etc?

Default Tough to say.

I'd have more disposable income and wouldn't have to save as much, so I'd probably go with an Aston Martin V8.

The RS4 isn't my daily ride -- so 4 doors wasn't mandatory. But it is nice to have. I don't think the RS4 makes for a good ride to take vendors and clients in. It's too cramped in the back for many adults.

Default I don't have kids and rarely have guests in the car.. so yes, I would of..

Because of Quattro, I really want a 12 month car.

It is my daily driver for now, until the 08 TT Coupe comes out, at which point I'll probably take it as the DD and keep the RS bottle up in a padded room under lock and key.

Default Definately.

The car also comes with LATCH which makes putting the seats in and taking them out a breeze

Default That's a good point; I need to get the kids out of the house so I can

afford to start my Exotic Car Collection.

Warning! Off topic video included.
Yes this could be a REPOST!

I bought the RS4 because I wanted a high performance car with a usable back seat and four doors.
The stealth factor was important in hoping my employees don't know what it is and how much it cost.
I even went with Daytona Gray because it looks great but adds to the stealth of the vehicle.<ul><li><a href="http://www.dpccars.com/car-movies/05-27-06pageSupercarCollectorGarage.htm">http://www.dpccars.com/car-movies/05-27-06pageSupercarCollectorGarage.htm</a</li></ul>

Default Yep.. I have 1 (2.5 yr old) and another due at the same time as my RS arrives.

Had to convince the wife the car seats will fit, but its bigger than the lexus IS and they fit in that. Anyway, the older the kids get, the more room they need in back.

So its easy to get a smaller sports car when they are younger.

The only other real choice was the M5 (possibly M3 in the 4 door, if it actually arrives) and the M5 is too automated for me. Plus everyone seems to have one around here... no wow factor.
