Yeah MR2's are junk.. glad mine is gone...

I picked up a 2001 Audi TT drop top and am really happy with it, luxury, sporty and fast. I got another 3 year warrenty, but over all like it alot. I would reccomend.

It came to about 17k with warrenty and all.

I've been throwing around the idea of a new car lately (as I've posted before). Nothing out there has really satisfied me yet, I drove an Audi TT coupe but I think it had some problems. We just got a red TT droptop in at work and I'm looking forward to test driving it after it finishes our "re-conditioning" process. I don't need a new car but one would be fun.

Here is my advice dude, and sorry to say this, but go ask your balls back from your wife. She thinks she knows what she wants, but if she jumps from eclipse to MR2 to A4 it's pretty clear she has no specific utility in mind (meaning she could live with the MR2, easily one of the most impractical cars on the road, or jump at an expensive german sedan). Sounds like she's all over the board, so just get something YOU know is good and make her live with it.

Yeah so I guess you've never been married. I don't want to have a ****ty rest of my life and force her to get a car she doesn't want.. I got balls, but I'm not an idiot and that would just be a lifelong headave to force someone to get something they don't want. I mean would you want a car you were forced to have? nope you'd whine like all hell too... so how about you go sit in a corner and let the grown ups talk
Plus I already tried it with the celica I forced her to get and she doens't like it at all. Yeah, its a headache looking at all these cars... if she was a car person it would be much easier

I didn't think of the IS300 or WRX. Thanks Super...

What I'd do is just let her pick the car and deal with it. If she's got a job then let her take care of it. Why let her pick the car? because she is the one that is driving it. So get her to test drive it and see how she likes it. If she does then get the thing. Get a warranty (extended) if possible for all those unexpected problems. When my sister bought the celica (now mine) she bought an extended warranty. It ended up saving her butt when they had to rebuild the engine in it.

so after a few weeks of test driving and many many many times trying to get her to decide (why can't women make decisions... another topic) she decided to go with a mazda 6. So I the process is finished and all I have to do is go pay for it today or tomorrow.

Thanks for the discussion and help trying to pick a car.
