I have been looking at A4's and M3's and have a few lined up to look at. I drove an A4 1.8t and almost cried they are so slow, i would like a fun DD like an M3 but I would also maybe like AWD and maybe a turbo?? My budget is like 6-8 k but wil vary if i find something worthy... Too bad Jason sold his Talon

Selling my Jeep! 5.2L V8 prob doesn't quite fit what you're looking for...haha. But hey, it's a 4x4!
A '98 1.8T quattro AT only gets 19/29mpg w/150hp while the 2.8 Quattro AT gets 17/27mpg w/190hp. A '95 3.0 M3 3.0 AT gets 19/28mpg w/240hp. Whichever way you go, I would think you'll be averaging more like low 20's. Pretty much the same as a conservatively driven NA Z or G. Plus, all of these cars require premium. Gas mileage-wise, neither of these seem to be very good options?

truck gets 12, I don't DD the Z its my garage quenn, call me funny but its a work in progress. I was tempted to just put twins on it and DD it because of the crazy mileage I saw on slowZsters car but then I like my Z to be my toy now that I am all grown up ! 
Ya the Titan gets *** mileage on the highway and around town , I average 13 mpg no matter what. sucks I know, If I could get 23 mpg I would be happy , I am kicking myself for selling my 2000 Jetta when I really didn't need to but I had it for 6 years it was time to part ways...

PoorG35 your car is too nice for a DD, seriously looks like you put some time into it. I am stuck on getting an Audi of some sort or BMW M3.
