need car advise Hello everyone, I have a large delema on my hands. I need a second vehicle with awd. Currently I have the ws6 in my Sig. Here are the options I am currently thinking of.
1) keep the ws6. And buy a 2001 legacy gt cash. = no payment lots of extra cash to mod my ws6.
2) keep the ws6. And finance a 08 Audi a4 2.0t = some cash to mod but modding will take much longer. And with a few Audi mods I can have a quick dd and take my time building my ws6.
3) sell my ws6 get a loan for a 05ish cts-v and get the 01 legacy gt for a mileage/bad weather car. = I really want a maggie -v in a bad way.
I'm leaning much harder to option 2 or 3 than 1.
So, what do you all think? I thought about polling this, but idk how...
Thanks everyone for your input

I am a mgr at the 99. Right now I commute 20 mins each way. But in a month, who knows... I am being transferred in march. Not sure where, all I know is it will be within 50miles of my house in seekonk. I really want an mpg machine with awd that gets close to 30mpg and runs cheap gas.(unless I get the Audi) and, so I'm not putting a ton of miles on my ls.... Maybe you guys are right and option 1 is my best bet. It definitely makes the most sense... I just hate that my ws6 is a auto... If it was a stick, this post wouldn't exist...

Buy the legacy gt. Sell the Ws6 because you said you hate that its an auto. Buy another f-body with a stick. Problem solved. You get your DD, and you get your 6 speed Trans am and you don't have payments.

What about a 6speed swap in my ws6? Inhave read about many of them and it seems a little out of my league but nothing I don't think in could accomplish with another more skilled set of hands.... Or would it be smarter just to sell mine and buy a 6speed? The only reason I like the swap idea is I know my car. I know what is wrong with it and what isn't we wrong. I know it hasn't been beat on at all in its life.... Selling to buy another seems a little risky to me. What do you all think?

Option 3 is probably my favorite idea. But with option 2 I could get a g35x instead of a a4... I like to ride in luxury. The subie is loaded too... And of all said cars, id rather put my dog(boxer) in the subie... Lol

If you want a cheap AWD car, just get a regular Legacy. I know people who have the 2.5, and it gets closer to 20mpg, while sucking down premo fuel. Just get the 2.2, less issues with those as well.

Cars.com has the numbers listed from when the car was new. The numbers were revised a few years ago, and dropped the ratings of most cars to make them more realistic.
Also I apologize, I forgot 2001 was before the turbo legacy GT.
