The new one with 292hp 2.0L Turbo. Even stock they are properly quick and with a tune apparently get down in 3.9-4.0 region for 0-60.

Of course, I can't buy one now and by the time I'm ready toward the end of next year, maybe I'll have found a way to dig up the change for RS3.

Just thinking out loud.

My wife wanted one but lack of a manual option killed it. She bought a used MX-5 for a third of the price and I could not be happier.

The new Golf R for me. Hatch and more stealth.

In Europe and Canada, we apparently get a "variant" version that is essentially a wagon golf R with manual and awd. I guess only a tune puts these things at 400tqs!

Me likey those as well.

My thought was getting back into a car that has real back seats, I'm short and my seat almost touches the back seat in the BRZ.

And something a bit more posh and sophisticated.

I made the mistake of test driving a 2012 500 Abarth over the weekend. I have been looking at Autotrader nonstop.

+1 for the Golf R.

I've heard rumors we "might" get the R version of the wagon. It's still a longshot and I won't hold my breath, but VW is considering it depending on how popular the Golf R and standard Sportwagon are.

As far as the S3 goes: no manual = not even on the radar.

Reach down between your legs, grab your googlies and squeeze them really hard. You will forget all about wanting to own an Audi.

I'd buy an R wagon as long as I could get it in 6MT...

I don't know, really not in a place to make a move like that just yet anyway.

If you're interested though, I could deal picking up a cheap little run around car for the time being.

Your title should be shortened to - "I have an unhealthy desire for an Audi."

The revised title should be shortened to: "I have a desire for an Audi."

Since it is redundant to include the word unhealthy.
