ok with the baby coming this year, any mods are out of question. No way, no money :) so the car will stay bone stock. having said that i might just get the stereo upgraded to the Avic D3. and maybe a chip. the chip will bring the power to 209 with ADR chip. (not sure if that will work with auto)

As for the price, well Naz, you were saying BMW. I want the SW and the bimer is still lot more money then the audi. I can get the car from the auction lot cheaper then bimmer or the MB. i think i can get the 1.8T avant for 15(hopefully) bimmer and MB are still up in the 20's. so they are out of the question.

Also i will be driving a lot on 401, with quattro i would feel a little more safe specially when i have the snow tires on as well.

I would basically want a car(station wagaon) that has great gas millage, has a bit of luxury in it(dual climate control, leather heated seats) quite and comfortable ride(being in the car for 5hrs a day would get to you if you can hear the road noise all the time). i guess that would cover it up.

other options were:
BMW 325 iT
MB 240 SW 4matic
Subaru Legacy SW

all these guys were lot more money then the 1.8T Avant

This is what i want :):)
