What to replace E46 M3 with??

[taylor8]

Well, I recently sold my E46 M3 as i really wasnt that impressed with the fun side of the car, but got to say the comfort build quality were 2nd to none!

So my question is any suggestions of what I should go for next, currently sharing my wifes chipped focus st225 which is alot of fun.
But really need a 4 door with good performance and comfort and would prefer it not to be RWD.

No Evo's or Scoobys been there done that got the T-Shirt!

Budget 15k, and could go over by a few grand if needs must!

Oh and dont mind petrol or diesel oh and again must be 4 door!

VXR8

older ones now about £15k

[M3John]

Dont have the look of an M3 but good option though, Quiet fancy the insignia VXR but bit out of price range

Why not RWD?

As they are crap in snow! and we get quiet a bit up here, and the EVO and Scooby never failed once, I never even bothered with the M3

Golf GT 5dr nice car but 2 small with kids and wasnt that keern when i test drove one, but yeah I like turbo cars, but not be all and end all.

Oh and cant see and VXR8's for 15k!

Oh not this st again. It isnt the drive, it's the tyres - proper winter (or not summer) tyres are all that is required in snow. Just visit any other European country in the winter - plenty or RWD cars doing fine.

I'm not looking for an argument mate, so can we leave it there, preferance is not RWD
Yeah and i'll agree a good set of winter tyres will make a hell of a difference, not saying it wont, so wind your neck in!

[boobles]

It's entirely your choice mate, no arguent here, just confused as to why you would rule one out but you have explained.

I can relate to this because my last car e46 328 auto was shocking in the snow, absolutely shocking.

Quiet fancy the insignia VXR

RWD

4WD

[Somnophore]

He said he didn't want RWD, so VXR is fine as it's FWD. He didn't specify 4WD

[Tallbut Buxomly]

Audi s4 clear and easy winner.

Actually maybe a legacy which is meant to be a phenominal car in the snow and slippy stuff due to 4wd trickiness.

But s4....

insignia has adaptive 4x4
vxr8 has rwd
all the over vxr's have front wheel drive and are also cack in the snow

Spend a bit less and get a Mazda6 MPS? 4WD and turbo... Might float your boat.
