    A new Daily Driver

    Hey guys so i will be done paying off my car soo and will be on
    the look out for a new daily.
    Ive been looking at the for the past few days and in all honesty I cant see myself
    driving a "mature" car.
    I've thought of the Honda s2000, the Scion FRS, even a BMW M3 (E46), but I can't
    see myself being that douche in a BMW.
    I really don't want to drive a "normal" car but it seems like thats what I'ma have to do soon.

    So.... My question is has anyone driven the Audi S4-S5?
    curious to hear what you guys think?

    Now this car will ONLY be for DD maybe some spirited driving but don't really plan on modding an
    Audi.

    DD is usually a *boring* car, or something along those lines.

    are you thinking used or new?

    used - maybe a civic lx, mazda 3, lancer, golf

    S4 or S5 isnt exactly a DD in my eyes. if you're gonna spend that much coin, get a new GTi instead.

    How much are you trying to spend, thats a big factor... I personally rather have a bike as a daily and use the evo as a weekend car, but thats just me

    Don't listen to this dick taker lol. An old buddy that I keep in touch with dailys his corvette so you'll be fine to daily those cars as well. If you think about it your dallying your Evo and that's not that much of a defference then these cars your thinking about.

    I like a few of the Audis, but would only own one under warranty. And even then cost of ownership is a little higher.

    What is your budget? How important is gas mileage? What kind of cost of insurance, maintenance, parts are you looking for? How many seats and cargo space?

    CTS-V wagon, or E63 wagon would be my pick if money wasn't an issue.

    agreed with the E63 wagon! i have a regular E350 and its fine on gas, super comfortable and very reliable. an E63 wagon would be much more fun and a little more spacious. plus i dont think i look too douchey driving it...i picked up those tires from you with it, Daniel...idk if youll remember it though.

    Agree about the Audi's! After having a used S4 I would stay way from them if not under warranty. Parts and service are $$$.

    If I were to get an audi I would lease it. Audis are nice but i wouldn't want to keep it forever.

    Honda S2000 or FRS/BRZ hands down. Only hard thing to do after making the purchase is not to mod.

    I'll suggest a A3 or Fiat 500 abbart. Talking about othe regular DD, I'll pick a scion or Mazda 2. Maybe a pickup like old Tacoma or even an outlander sport. Just last two considerin your skateboarding profession. GL with your choice

    Riiight. Or moving "sh!t" into your own house and picking up parts that are too small for the back seat of an evo.

    Daniel you have to remember the point of a DD is to be as cheap as possible to drive and maintain, as well as the least likely for you to mod. Otherwise you end up with another project car.
