Right now I have two vehicles, a newer plain jane daily driver, and my nice weather 370Z. More recently I have decided that having two cars is a bit of a pain in the ***. Two sets of insurance, one car ends up parked on the street etc. I feel like streamlining to one vehicle that does it all. While I love the Z it's not ideal.

Top Choices:
Bmw 228i Coupe (wish it came with AWD)
Bmw 335xi Coupe AWD
Audi S4 AWD
Audi S5 AWD
Infinity Q50 AWD
Infinity FX50 AWD
Caddy ATS Coupe AWD
Lexus IS 350 AWD

You can see by the list I want 300+ Horsepower, AWD and all would have to be 2012-2014 model years. All of them work well all year round even in the snow which we get too much of here!!

Just looking for input, suggestions and would love to hear from others feeling the same way.

You and I have almost the exact same "next car" list. We do live in Canada after all.

Used Audi S4/S5's are still really pricey here in Canada, but I would definitely get my hands on one of those if I can find one with a decent price. The only thing is Audi keeps making these prominent face-lifts on new models that make older models look like crap.

I would not get the 335xi coupe, the 435's are so much better looking, although much more expensive, for now. Also, I would not get the STi. To me the going from the Z to the STi is more of a downgrade (although the Subaru might be/is faster).

Other AWD sports sedans on my list are: CLA45 AMG, 2015 C450 AMG.

If you are thinking of SUV's then have you considered RX350 Fsport, Audi Q5/SQ5, the new X5, or even the Macan S?
