BMW M240i xDrive vs Audi TT RS

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.
