whats on my mind

I'm going though my car mode again. By that, I mean I'm constantly looking at cars, and thinking about if I were to buy one which would it be? With that I'm also back into my VW GTI stage again, where I really want one. Yet part of me doesn't want to give up having all wheel drive. Enter the VW R32, this car is amazing, its the GTI with a 3.2 Liter VR6 and the Audi Quattro all wheel drive. How could you go wrong? I don't think you could... but the kicker is its not a cheap car :( They only made them in '04 and '05 and I'm seeing '04's for around 26k+ Which is still way out of my price range. I could go for an Audi A4 and get close to the same car... but it still wouldn't be the same, as they are not hatch backs. Tho I do like the wagon A4. I'm just kinda torn. As a '02 - '03 GTI VR6 is in my price range but doesn't have the all wheel drive. Or I do like the WRX as well. Couldn't afford the STi, but I can probably find a sup'd up WRX that would be close to the STi performance wise in the same price range. But again, no hatchback, and the wagon version is also appealing (given a certain amount of aftermarket parts). However then I would also have to get used to the feeling I have when sitting in a WRX. Don't get me wrong I love them, however I feel like a little kid when I sit in them... and not in a good way... There is alot of head room in a WRX, and since I'm not that tall, it makes me feel even shorter. But perhaps I've just grown accustomed to tighter fitting cars with my first car a '91 Maxima, and my current car the '98 Civic. I don't get the same feeling when I sit in an Evo or GTI, so that makes me resist wanting to just "get used to it".
Not sure what I'll do just yet, and I am probably going to wait until Elissa graduates from school anyway before I make any changes to the current status quo.
