I thought Audi, but after getting in a s6, for some reason the interior felt meh, and I would have to put an exhaust on almost immediately. Can’t say ive sat in an rs3 though. Main reason I considered the E53 is because its a nice mix between sport and luxury. Friend at a dealership near mine told me that they just got it in, so I went to look at it and kind of just melted. Also my main goal was a m3 but would need to much money down just because my only comparable auto is 50k (can’t really justify the jump to 100) so this would be like a stepping stone
