B7 RS4 Avant. Manual, NA V8 that spins to 8500rpm, AWD for UK weather, big enough boot for a pushchair and a chocolate lab, lovely looking imo and just the right size.
Everything now is either turbo charged, automatic/dsg, huge, and not all that appealing to look at (or looks just like the diesel in the range).
I've found the closest replacement is probably a Golf R manual estate. Please Audi, make an RS3 Estate in manual.

07 Avant B7 RS4. Silver with black leather and buckets.
I actually nearly cried as I swapped it for the 535l

Sold my Vette a few weeks ago to a a fellow PHer after 4 1/2 years of ownership.
I wasn't even intending on selling it, but with the other cars, the cycling and all the travel, I just wasnt using it.
Gutted to let it go but glad it's gone to someone who will use it properly.
For the price, its one of the most awesome performance cars on the road.
You sold it to my brother and he was good enough to take me for a spin in it... bloody hell its loud! Goes like stink though and looks amazing- he loves that car already!I wasn't even intending on selling it, but with the other cars, the cycling and all the travel, I just wasnt using it.

I bought it from a mate who is a fellow PHer, nice to keep in the the family
Then he sold it.
Still, blue ones are better...
I really regret selling my D reg Porsche 924S. I wanted a 944, couldn't stretch to one, so bought this instead and realised it was actually better, albeit without the Kardashian hips.
It was utterly, utterly mint. Bought in 2000 for 2.7K, owned for 4 years and sold in a classic car auction for 4K. I loved it with a passion. I've had theoretically 'better' cars since then, and definitively faster Ines, but that's the one I wish I'd kept. I only sold it because I changed jobs and was putting too many miles on it. I was worried about ruining it through use, stupid really.

I sold my RX8 to pay for my wedding. I still remind my wife of the sacrifices I made, as I still miss it almost 7 years later.
Soon I'll be suffering seller's remorse again, as my e46 330 is up for sale right now.
To most women cars are just piece of metal....they just don't understand the remorse, and the sacrifice made for them. On the other hand, some men have other ideas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0S642NtHtESoon I'll be suffering seller's remorse again, as my e46 330 is up for sale right now.

I've suffered both buyer's remorse and seller's remorse with the same car.
I bought an old Esprit about 15 years ago.
Then sold it.
Then bought it back again.
Then sold it.
Then bought it back again.
The same damn car three times.
It is hopelessly crap and joyfully magnificent at the same time.
I suffered buyer's remorse with my E34. I had just sold a boring, yet utterly reliable and dependable Passat, for a turd of an E34 with every E34 problem under the sun. I bought an old Esprit about 15 years ago.

However, 3 1/2 years and a fair chunk of money spent I have a car that I have put up for sale (due to buying my E39) but secretly hope doesn't sell, because I know I'll miss the old girl. We've been through a lot together.
Similarly I cried like a baby when I sold my Triumph 2000. I cried again when I found somebody had painted her blue. By hand.
