That's why I think that if the OP is serious, he needs a dull, safe, family car that's inexpensive to buy and maintain. If he can keep the Z for himself, then great.

Even then, I think it's way too early to pull the trigger.
Used A4's arent all that expensive and they are very safe. I wouldnt feel comfortable with my kids in a small honda or and EVO. And they come in fuax leather option that is bullet proof.

It's a fair point. Safety rating vs. affordability. It's about where your priorities are. A Honda will definitely cost less to repair than an Audi. So will most domestics.

Heavy cars aren't safer. If you think a few hundred pounds of extra metal is going to gently cradle your head as it smashes into the window, think again. i hate hearing that Big=Safe. Yea i wouldn't feel comfortable in a smart car, but there is a balance. but audi=safer than honda because its heavier? i dont think so. A4's are not that big anyway.
