Default Thinking about trading the S4 for an RX8

First off...I gotta say I love my car more than life itself...but it is extremely costly. if my sig didn't give it away...I drive a b5 s4. I bought the car because it is my favorite car...wasn't aware of how expensive it would be. I don't only mean to fix...but to mod too. I'm thinking that maybe an rx8 would be better...what car do you guys think is the best car to mod? btw I only want a four-door...don't really like 2 door cars.

a mod-worthy 4 door?
seems like you dont have a problem going rice.. so definitly a WRX and if you can afford it, an STi or EVO.
i loveeeeeee the sound of an STi with an exhaust and you can always point them out even without looking at them.
Nissan altima SE-R
a G35
e36 M3 4dr

lots of choices...

RX8 = horrible on gas (as bad as an American V8)
Horrible on tires because it's a drifting machine
Technically a four-door, but you already know that
Don't get the automatic, it doesn't make as much power

I'll trade you my 2.8 for your S4...that will kill 2 birds with one stone, well...not the modding one, but the reliable 4 door one. Haha, I say get a pre-75 Datsun 510 4 door, and VG30dett the sh*t out of it! Get one of those Masseratti Quattrocoupe. Sexy, Fast, and wait...Italian. Nevermind, there goes the reliability. Wait until the EvoX comes out.

rx8 is a good looking sporty car but Ive also heard they have oil problems ( like they use too much ) but that wouldn't put me off if I wanted one its all part of the fun

I have a friend that works at the local Mazda dealership, and everytime we hang out he has more and more bad stories about the RX8. If you think it is expensive to own an Audi, you won't be improving much by getting an RX8.

I looked at an STI before I got by B7 A4, and they really are good cars. You are sacrificing a lot of luxury though..........
