Wait for the new Audi TT RS. Embarrass fools at red lights with your hairdresser's car.

Plus it's a 5 cylinder that sounds nice as heck

Have you seen a M3/M4 with the full leather option? It is like $3600, but completely changes the luxury level of the interior.

My main complaint is that they don't have a great option for brown leather. I prefer the saddle leather over black, but don't really care for that two tone option.

Other than that, I love the M4. Great looking car; great performance. I went with the Porsche and the Luxor Beige interior. Nice clean, classic look.

Both of these cars aren't my style, but I would most definitely go with the M4.

It'd sting so much more to get dusted by a "girl's car" than some lowkey super sedan.

The A3 is way girlier than the TT. And you know most people don't know that the RS badge means anything.

I agree with ya, but ever since Clarkson's "hairdresser's car" comment, I don't think it's perception has recovered

Can't argue that. He has such a colorful way of describing vehicles.

M4 has an ugly dash/center console.



I was contemplating a 2015' model, but I dont dare having a bmw when its out of warranty.

Both are near excellent, but the C63 wins out for me. The sound of that twin turbo V-8 is eargasmic and highly addictive.

I'll still take a 911 first though.

The 911 turbo may not be a practical daily driver, but a 911 Carrera definitely is.

Wife drives a GLE63. If I were choosing between the two, it'd be the C63.

average 911 is probably 110K+. That's a lot more money.

What's the readout on the steering wheel? Seems like a strange place, that's a control surface. I'm sure it's cool though.

Gear indicator and shift lights I think.

Anyone who claims the 911 Turbo is a daily driver has never driven a 911 Turbo. The reason they make the 911 Carrera is to give Porsche owners a daily driver option. The 911 isn't a daily driver because it was actually designed to be a track car; one of the best track cars in the world.

Sure, you could use the 911 Turbo as a daily driver, but that doesn't make it one.


Porsche makes the 911 Turbo/Turbo S AWD because, you know, they want people to be able to DAILY DRIVE their cars with 560 horsepower.

I can put you in touch with a guy who lives here, in Bozeman, Montana, where it snows 5 months of the year on average, who daily drives a $202,000 2015 Porsche 911 Turbo S with carbon-ceramic brakes and the Sport Chrono package. Seeing that car driving through 6+ inches of fresh snow on multiple occasions has inspired me to want a 911 Turbo someday.

Not a daily? the 911 Turbo is the ultimate daily.

Montana would be the place to drive a Turbo. Wide open roads. I have no interest in driving that Turbo on my daily commute in Houston, though.
