I sometimes have these urges to go back to a RWD. So you all had the choice to go back to RWD and trade in your car (not that I'm going too.....yet) which of these cars would you get?

Is the 335i much more than an A5? I thought they were almost the same price.

Many of those cars are not rwd by the way like A5,WRX and Evo.

Out of all those choices, I'd pick the 370Z as it's become a serious contender in the performance department, making almost a great value compared to the competition.

I voted A5, based on looks alone. I guess it really depends on how you rank your priorities between sport, luxury, looks, reliability, etc.


I have a thing for the EVO right now, so i'd probably vote that if i were looking for something more performance oriented. I'm still on the fence about the Z facelift. Maybe it'll grow on me, but I personally haven't liked a Z since the 280.

That's a sick A4. But if you didn't have any restrictions, wouldn't you want an R8?

^why would your dream audi be a diesel? i'd like to have all that tourque but it's already AWD, so any serious launches would be hard on the car.


I chose the A5, seems the best out of that list, but i'd rather get the 335i like others have said

I picked A5, but it would have to be an S-line.

I love this car, but I've been lurking the A5 boards and man are they having all kinds of problems with that car.

I didn't pick the G coupe because I think when they hit the used market here pretty soon the streets will be flooded with them.

I will not fit in a A5, 370Z, Subaru, IS350. So my choice would have to be between the EVO or G37S. Both cars ive alwayas had a thing for. For speed obviously the Evo but if you want a good combination of both then Id go for the G37S. Im gonna have to vote for the EVO X not the GSR

Diesel FTMFW. I wouldn't drive that car for the speed/performance.

I've driven none of the above, 09+ at least, aside from the IS(250) and based on looks alone I choose the A5. Its way nicer than anything else on that list. If I wanted a performance car, I don't think any of those would be on my list. As mentioned though, for that kind of car I would probably look at the 335i. PROcede & Vishnu

I would love the 370Z if it didn't look like garbage. Its like the 350Z was a hot, skinny chick.... then she got knocked up, got a nice butt and got bigger boobs as a result, then worked out and lost some weight, but then she got in a terrible fist fight and got a Rihanna-style beat down (too soon?) and now she has nice curves but looks like shit (370Z)

You know now that many of you mentioned it, I was looking into the 335i and they have some good offers right now. Maybe I'll go and see what they'll say. I'm just wondering what I'll do with all these aftermarket parts that are on my car? Who in the world would buy them?

The A5 is beautiful, but not enough bang for its segment. I have two Audi dealers where I live and none of them have any A5's for less than $48k. Most of them are actually around $53k. Uh uh. You can find used S5's with low mileage in that range.

I'd test drive each car that seemed interesting first.

I tested various versions of the 335i, but none of the cars in the poll (and the only one that appeals to me is the G, which I'll test sometime in the next couple/three weeks; the A5 looks weird up close, and I'm not sure I like the interior), as I don't have RWD as a criteria.
