Buy a used Porsche...

I would bet my house that a gently used late model Porsche is exponentially less of a hassle to own than a new Audi.

Don't get me wrong, a Porsche is definitely what I would buy if I could afford it. If and when I do get a Porsche, I want it to be brand spanking new, and with the exact options I choose. But even a late model is outrageously expensive. I can't justify spending that much money.

I am pretty sketchy about BMWs, but being in Colorado I know a lot of people with VWs and Audis and yes, compared to Toyotas they are lacking in reliability. But they don't seem to be excessively fragile like a Land Rover or Jeep.

The only reason why I initially considered an Audi is because I read in Consumer Reports that they rate high in quality. The TT RS has become the subsequent driver. I think the newer TTs look great, but that lighter I5 engine is what makes the RS very intriguing.

I will be testing both next week. Who knows, I might end up with a Subaru WRX or Toyota truck or SUV and keep the Z.

Keep the z. Buy a tundra 4x4. Problem solved. A compromise car will just piss you off day in day out.

Agreed, you can't go wrong with a truck and it will come in handy when you twin turbo the Z lol!

Yep. I'm about to swap the econobox daily driver for a big *** truck. Sold it to the wife as "we need a vehicle that can get us to safety through a hurricane" when I really meant "can trailer the z, track car and take me hunting and fishing".

Lol, I have a 2002 GMC 2500 4x4 duramax with 240k on it that runs like a dream. We have made two trips to Oregon hunting and golfing and lots of trips to the track and the shop with the Z this year lol! The best thing is the truck and the Z are paid off!

I have owned three Tacomas, which I drove all to Moab MANY times and even rock-crawled with Ivan Stewart. They are so bullet-proof; between all three the only issue I ever had was a faulty O2 sensor. I even love Ford and Chevy trucks as well, so the option is very compelling.
