After thinking a lot I'm considering one of these two rn, for some time from now.
They both seem, just great for their own reasons. Not crazy expensive either. Less than the GTI lol.
The other cars I talked about are still on the cards, but these seem the most attractive for value rn imo - as something I keep for life.

I think it's going to depend a good bit on the timing and the moment, but right now I'm tossing up a good maybe 8 or so cars, those are just the most bang for the buck:
It's not in any particular order. I'm just doing my homework now for when I start searching later. The better the value at the time the more likely I would be to get one.
A manual parking brake is also a plus for me. I don't like that you can get flagged for a rear pad or rotor change and the car might immobilise. For some places that's a several thousand dollar job like, wth?? For $100 pads?? Lmao.
As for the whole digital dash thing, I've had my hand with enough of that. When it's fast it's great I think (Like integrated map directions can be easier to read and understand if that makes sense?) but since this would be my weekender/formal occasion car, I could take it or leave it honestly. I'm not bothered by losing it nor having it lol, just as long as the dash can, in a clear enough fashion, tell me enough of what's going on, lol. 😂
The Audi and BMW also have affinities for dash cams, which nowadays, nice thing to have...lol.

In February we had a m2 competition on st1 remap and a Rs3 sportback 8p with st1+Apr software to give them pretty much identical power figures but the m2 had more torque from the extra capacity, but both were very quick to say the least, but on track the m2 was noticeably more agile even though the Rs3 was putting the power down better and faster with the extra traction, the only decision we could make was that during the rare chance of perfect conditions the bmw will be the better car but on the other 364 days of the year the Rs3 is faster point to point in everything but ideal conditions, so as a road car the Rs3 is the fastest way to get from a to b and the m2 is faster going round in circles on a track, the only real difference between the 2 was the fact that I was smiling more in the bmw, and the Rs3 pinned me in the back of the seat with the amazing launch ability
there is a video of R33 V-Spec doing 8:01 on Nordschleife, so removing 2 ...
