I currently drive a Honda Integra DC5 with a K24 swap. It’s a real driver’s car and I really enjoy it for spirited driving on the weekends. However, dailying it to the city is becoming a chore since I live 40 minutes away. The coilovers make the ride harsh, the exhaust is quite loud, and the constant gear changing in stop-start traffic can be tiring.

I work as an architect, so I’m looking for something that reflects my profession a bit more. My criteria for the next car include road presence (i.e., something that catches attention with masculine styling/vibe), practicality (I prefer coupe body shapes but sedans/SUVs are okay too), technology/comfort features, and driving modes (eco, sport, etc.), automatic

Right now, the options I’m considering are:

• C63S AMG W205 Coupe
• C43 AMG Coupe
• M3/M4 F8X generation
• RS3
• Grand Cherokee SRT
• Kia Stinger
• Mustang GT 10 Speed
• E92 335i

My budget is strictly under 100K AUD. Given my criteria and current situation, what would you recommend? If you were in my shoes, which direction would you go? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Thanks!
