[s-cars] Thoughts/Opinions Re: Vehicle Purchase

[Varon H. Fugman]

A4 2.0T
Mazdaspeed 6
Subaru Legacy GT Group B
SAAB 9-5 Aero / 9-3 Aero

The SAABs won’t give you AWD, but with a set of Nokian Hakkapelittas they are still competent on a snowy mountain road, and there are a lot of very nice well maintained examples to be had for under $5k.

However, there is really no ideal replacement for a C4!

‘94 Miata
‘07 Jetta 2.0T
‘18 Giulia TI Sport Q4
