I couldnt agree more.  Before buying my 85 Ur-q, i test drove a new 
Subaru RS turbo, very quick, but felt like a shopping trolley on 
steroids. Then after I severely bent the Q, I took out an Imprezza WRX. 
The WRX is an awesome car for the money, (costs about the same as a 
bottom end A4), but by the time I arrived back at the dealer my major 
impression was, I'm gunna die in this thing!. If however living isnt one 
of your major concerns, this would be the car to chase M3's with.
