Default Selling My Audi, now what car should i get..

After all the troubles and costs of repairs ive gone through, ive decided to sell my audi. Im going to get ripped off, i know that, but at this point i need to get rid of it, bein gan 18 year old doesnt really work well when you have to pay all the repairs and costs for it. I struck out and didnt get the best working Audi either. Im looking at new cars and what do you guys think? Im gonna come back to Audi eventually, just not for a few years until i get some money. I was thinking 2002 WRX or maybe 2004 Mazda 3 or Speed3. Any other options or ideas that would be worthy or better than an Audi but more reliable.

There were a lot of times I wanted to get rid of my A4 being a teenager and all but I'm sooo glad I've put up with the struggle and heartaches of ownership since no other car compares. Having that said, I'm Nissan biased so for cheap affordability and still semi-stylish I'd get a Maxima or 3.5 Altima.

Those are "fun" to drive, but dont have any 'ooomph' when it comes to the highway. And no luxury features, the Maxima is like a Jap A4/A6. Some can be found manual and are a blast.

Make sure you take a close look at it before you sign off on it, WRX's tend to get beat on :-/
