Hi guys. I'm new at this forum so I'd to say "Hello to everybody".

Right now I'm looking for car aroud $8-9k.

In particular I am looking at buying any of these models:
97-99 BMW M3
~00 Audi TT quattro
02 Acura RSX
02 Audi A4

I'm waiting too for different cars - but I have to feel comfortable inside (i'm tall 6'3)

Thanks for help

The M3 kills all those cars in performance.

The A4 is barely sporty. The TT is overweight and bad handling and only offers the functionality of a sports car without the sports. The RSX is a warmed over economy car - not bad for what it is, but nothing near the level of the M3 in performance.

I'm not familiar with any of those cars, but I know from experience that edmunds dot com has a GREAT section where car buyers report back on their experiences with their cars. Kind of a real world car rating system. You can look under any of those models (I kind of lean to the BMW), and see what real owners have had to say.

The RSX I know is cheaper to maintain and repair. Might want to factor that in as well.

the m3 is definately the best in performance i agree there. but bmw can be a bitch when things start to break. everything that breaks is always more expensive on a bmw and when one thing goes, alot tend to follow. i like acura integra gsr's alot. that is going to run you a little lower toward 5 to 6 grand but hey leftover money can be put into the car! lol
