I have been searching for a used car for a few weeks. My two favorite cars are the Subaru Impreza WRX STI and the Audi RS6. I am only considering AWD cars.

I intitially started doing web searches for an Impreza under $20,000 with less than 60,000 miles. I kept getting Audi A4 and A6 listing with my searches and started paying attention.

Now, I am considering either an A4 or an A6. I plan to chip whatever model I get.

I am 35. Not a street racer but one of the first things I look at in a car is its 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. I like to enjoy driving.

I was wondering what the performance and long term reliabily of a lightly modded A4 1.8T or A6 2.7T is? Stock they are even beat by the 2006 Civic Si (not AWD so who cares right?). What about modded?

I love the Audis. I love the way they look, which is why I like the RS6. My fondness for the Subaru WRX is based entirely on its performance. The RS6 has both styling and performance, but waaaayyyyy out of my range. As is a low mileage S4. <---- maybe my next car.

Any feedback you can give me would be great. I am also posting this in the A6 forum because I want to get a balance from A4 and A6 drivers.

Look at an A6 2.7T same engine as the older S4 but the nice look get one with the facelift you could make it look like the RS6. Im actually on my way out of school right now so I cant help any further at the moment but ill drop some more info off.
