Be certain not to overlook the Alfa Romeo Giulia line.

Lots of different models and options, depending upon your interests and budget. And compared to their more traditional German model competitors which the OP has already noted, they are a true bargain.

I have had mine for some time now, and it is a joy.

I would be happy to answer any questions that you might have.

I second this. And, if you're budget allows, the quadrifoglio is truly bad ass.

After reading your situation twice I can think of two cars not on your list but would be good suggestions:

2001-10 Lexus SC430 and
2002-05 Ford Thunderbird.

Glad to hear you bought an A4.

I own 3...all are solid cars.

The key is join an Audi forum (try Audizine...excellent), learn up on them and change the oil with synthetic regularly and keep the maintenance up to date.

My 2005 has 265,000 kms (youngest son), my 2006 has 345,000 kms (oldest son) and mine is a 2013 with 223,000 kms.

All are 6 speed manual Sline quattros with go-fast mods.

NONE have ever let me down.

A big plus with A4 turbos...you can have a ton of fun modding and grabbing a ton of extra fun HP with tuning.

Enjoy sir!
