Default Dilemma: RS4 or ...

TT Convertible and a A4?

I have realized that I mostly use my car to shuttle me to and from my work and the airport. It often sits gathering dust at Seatac... I think I would die if someone put a ding in it while I was away.

Thoughts?

BTW, does not have to be these two exactlo cars. Maybe it is a A4 and a Solstice GXP... but the idea is the same.

Default that depends...

your gonna end up paying insurance on two cars if you go the a4/tt route obviously which in my opinion isnt really worth it unless one is strictly a track car. Ide buy a car that you can drive every day and still have the performance to put a smile on your face...in your case the rs4 is probably the way to go.

Default Would that change your answer.

I already have a track car.

So I have a LR3 (well wife's car) for trips babies, skiing etc.
S4 for track (B5-2000) heavily modified.

Now... I need a car to take me to and from work... to lunch and to the airport. I know honda Accord is the perfect choice here, but I do not want an Accord!

Default The A3 works well for me! :-)

Pretty sporty yet good mileage.

Default Hmm, I miss my R32. A3 could get some of that back...

I have the A4 2.0T and although relatively fast (chipped) it is still a 4-banger. Never again!

But I could add to it a fun car - Boxter? or just replace with M5 or 911 or RS4.

Default S4 and a truck to leave at the airport...

...that's what I do. The new F150s actually make pretty decent commuter vehicles too...especially in Lariat trim. Only downsides are poor gas mileage (identical to the S4, but it has a much bigger tank) and difficulty parking (not so bad once you get used to it).
