Yes, it is. I was not talking about the S4 at all.

Very nice car, but depreciation like crazy. 1 year old and it lost $15-25,000. I know all cars depreciate, but thats excessive. Thats the 2006 2.0T Quattro with all the goodies for less than $18,000 and only 50,000 miles.


Oh well. This seems to be turning into a pissing match, not quite, but slightly. So, lets make room for other people to post their pics of their cars. BTW, I do give you props for making this thread, good idea.

yeah i don't mean to argue with you and make it a pissing match. i just wouldn't agree the audi depreciates that much. a4's maybe, they are their low end car so that makes sense. but you can't go wrong with the evo. just thought i'd throw my 2 cents in. speed used to be where its at for me, but the older i get the more i want a nice ride then power. thankfully you can get both, just costs a bit more

and thanks. its cool to see what everyone drives. keep posting guys

Looks like you keep your car well hidden from the general populace!

I was half expecting to see raptors for defense and a laser grid.

The STI sounds AWESOME with the boxer engine, I love the way it purrs but the interior is awful. And the 350Z is 2 door. So I'm stuck.

Anyways.... I got money on the EVO. I know a few people with EVOs beating the newer GTO's with have 400HP....so the 370HP, heavier SUV.....idk.....maybe

This is funny, I used to own a 350z, my girlfriend has a WRX but was close to getting the STI, and I currently have the Evo. Between the three, it depends on what you want to do. I wouldn't worry about the Evo's reliability with modding . . . the 4g63 engine is basically bulletproof. The only think you really have to worry about is the transfer case which seems to go first. I've got about 24k on mine with no problems whatsoever. I ran a 13.09 stock, and I've got the exhaust and a very mild tune now, and it pulls much harder, but I haven't made it back to the track yet, or gotten it tuned to it's max potential.

The 350z was a very nice car, and sometimes I wish I had one again. The problem is, if you want to make them faster, it's difficult and expensive. Your typical exhaust, intake, header stuff doesn't get you much at all. And if you go forced induction, the engine is so high strung out of the box that you have to be pretty conservative with the boost, and even then people had problems. But it was a great car overall, and if you're just looking for something to keep stock, I'd definitely recommend it. Is the two doors or the two seats the issue? If you don't mind a coupe with four seats, check out the new Altima coupe with the 3.5 V6. Same engine, tuned a bit differently, and it's FWD , but it's a VERY nice looking car, inside and out. I like it better than the G35.

The STI was kind of "eh." It's more expensive than the 350z or the Evo, the interior is horrendous (if it wasn't blue everywhere it'd be ok), and it's not as easy to modify. I think the Evo looks better on the outside as well, but that's in the eye of the beholder. The STI has a few more creature comforts, such as cruise control, but I don't think it's worth the price tag. The new STI's/WRX's are UGLY!!!! I don't know what they were thinking.

If you have any questions about any of the cars, just let me know.

Yeah, it's a 4-cylinder engine, so I am surprised it has gotten as much as it has. Still kickin' along, though the suspension is stiff and it bumps along like an old taxi cab! lol

not interested in cars. besides, I got a medical condition that prevent me from doing so (epileptic-like paroxysmal kinesogenic dyskinesia). I took driving lesson, but never took the test. Nearly had a crash.

Sorry to hear that. Glad you're with us though! That condition is a mouthful, huh? I have no idea what it is.
