So the roads where I moved to are really rough. I have to take a 10 minute longer commute if I want to drive the stang to work. Its also garaged from Nov to April due to mASS winters. Finally, its an auto, and if I keep it I'm going to sink a whole load money into a TKO swap.

I love the way the car looks, love that its a vert, and I'm the only owner. But I just dont drive it much anymore due to the roads and the winter. Maybe 3k miles in the last 2 years. Seems like a waste.

So I'm looking at AWD cars again. Got any recommendations? Preferably something relatively fast, that will still be good in snow with a set of snow rims/blizzaks. I was looking at the BMW 335xi coupe. Got any other ideas?

well depends on price range theres evo 8's 9's or 10's. subaru's like the wrx or for more go the sti's. the new nissan gtr's. i think the new SHO is all wheel drive? im sure someone else will know for sure. newer audi tts. mazda 6 eh that about all i can think of now im sure theres a ton more but those were all the practical ones i could think of. thats why i didnt say ferrari's or lamborghini's or anything like that lol
 
AWD cars can be very fun! I have to say thou, my friend has a 350hp evo x. He lets me drive it whenever I want. It is very fun but to be honest it gets boring after awhile. That is just my opinion. The looks, the sound and the rwd burning of the rubber is 10x more fun to me :).
 
VW R32's are reallllly nice inside and handle well.. plus have some power. WRX's are great and so are EVO 8/9's. The evo x's are nice too but still expensive. Porsche 911 Turbo would get the job done :) a 2002 911T would be reasonable priced.
 
Thanks for all the advice. I never liked the WRX or Evo styling (ricey). I'm looking for a 2 door car. The R32 is cute, but not for me either. The G35 isnt bad, but I prefer the BMW 335xi for sure. That still top of the list.
Something like this is pretty F-ing sweet. If I could get one with a manual trans I dont think I'd regret selling then stang...:shrug:

Chatted to the wife... its official. My car is going up for sale, then I'm going 335xi coupe shopping. Any advice on how to sell the stang?
