seriously considered: C230, 325Ci, TT 180hp Quattro.

bought a Z3 with the 2.5 (USED)... if I could do it again in "hindsight" I'd probably end up in the TT or the C230.
oh no! you got buyer's remorse already? all 3 are fine cars imho.

very true... and I'll loose that remorse when it decides to warm up and I can buzz around with the top down.

2001 C320
1)I was waiting for the MITSUBISHI LANCER EVO VII to come down here but thier taking to damn long.

2)The WRX was the next choice, but it was kinda ugly. (I like the previous model better)

3) A used 98 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE GSX (TURBO ALL WHEEL DRIVE, Too hard too find...probably been abused by previous owner)

4) Buy Back my 98 SUPRA TT (why i sold it...bored because it only came auto here..)

5) Buy a 94 SUPRA TT ....STICK! ooo 13 sec and looks good. (ONCE AGAIN TOO HARD TO FIND)

6) considered the NISSAN SENTRA SE-R SPEC V, but my friend bought. That car is sure damn quick for 180 hp!

AS you can see...i wanted a TURBO, AWD car....BUT IM HAPPY WITH THE C320, not as fast, but classier then the rest...and can make it a lil sporty if u'd like
