A bottom of the price barrel BMW or Audi doesn’t sound like good reliable transportation for a chick. I’d say WRX. ---

what were her first recommendations before you said she needed AWD? because if its about safety, save some money and just get good tires PS: an 02 S4 goes for low-teens? wtf! ---

I just traded in my 04 wrx to a dealer for $15k last week. Good luck finding one for under $13k. ---

You aren’t gonna see alot of 04+ WRX’s at $13K. Unless you don’t care at all about mileage. ---

aside from your skewed price range… - i’d prolly avoid S4 since audis seem to be great until something very expensive breaks. then, it’ll be complicated & costly to fix - old M3s are teh slow. i don’t know. i just don’t see the appeal. - newer 3-series - meh, if you can afford it. If. - i’d prolly get a WRX. lots of fun. pretty reliable. man, i like them. and they don’t seem like they need constant repair, and if anything does break - it doesn’t seem priceless. ---

You wont find any of the cars on your list in good shape for $13k. B5 S4’s almost never run 100%. Definitely not a car for a chick. ---

if by last gen S4 you mean the B6 2002 - 2005 with the V8 then yes, if you are referring to the B5 V6 TT then no. My grandfather had both, but an old TT is not a good DD. On that list maybe a 325? ---

Yea something along the line or more functionality awd and reliablity is number one on my list. So wrx is the best bet I suppose. Anymore suggestion? Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestion.
