Depending on cash flow my future plans include a 03-05 3.0 and then put at PES G3 supercharger on it. If your looking for big V8 power, then your going to have to go S4. If I had unlimited $$ I'd go for the RS4 with the MTM supercharger - DAMN that ***** sexy.

yeah i would love an s4 and i think i would love one of those 2011 r4's even better "BOINGGG" but hey its a little pricey for me, what my plans are is to get a nice all year round car like an audi, somthin that will be fun good on gas and a little luxury and will last me 10 years or better, get it paid off and get my 03 mustang cobra mmmm

I picked up my 03' a4 3.0 with 65k for around $15, and i love driving it so much. Its def. not a 8 cylinder but a reliable everyday driver with enough power for me to have fun! I feel like the NON-turbo's are a little more reliable stock, although ill prob get killed for saying that on this site! haha , If you love speed and are willing to mod, get the 1.8, otherwise......2.8 or 3.0 baby!

WOW the altima and mustang got their S**T F**KED UP! haha

if you have money to get a supercharger id say def. go with the 2.8 or 3.0 theyre a littlemore reliable and have good power... but if you wanna do a bunch of smaller less costly mods get a 1.8t.. although it will probably suck going from a V8 to a 4
