Default New AWD stable mate suggestions (off topic)

Looking for a new stable mate for the TT.

After having my quattro for a year, I def. want an AWD sedan with some speed and manual trans. I'll be buying used (2004 or newer).

Anyone have anything good or bad to say about the following?:

A4?

Volvo S60 R?

MazdaSpeed 6?

325 xi?

Other suggestions?

Default What about a Mk5 Jetta ? They do an AWD version on the V5 / V6 models -

quite alot of car for little money. That could be another option.

Not sure about the Mazda - if they are anything like the Mazda's over here, then it will be thirsty on oil. You basically have to check it every two weeks, and give it a top-up.

If I'm going to go VAG, why not go A4 rather than Passat?

Default A friend of mine got the A4 Quattro - has had it for 2 years now, and had

zero problems with it. I think it's the 1.8t (180 bhp) engine

I've been really happy with my Saab 92x Aero (basically a WRX wagon with a nicer-looking front end).

oh, I was not suggesting passat, just stating that it had AWD. Go A4 all the way, but get the B7.
