Yeah personal opinions for the most part.
I still can''t choose an alternative for the Evo. However, if I had to go with a more luxurious, spacious, comfortable, as well as performance oriented car, it would have to be the Audi A4. But for me nothing does the job better than the Evo. I won''t even consider choosing a front wheel drive. I won''t say the same for RWD casue I''ve never owned one. Who knows, maybe if I owned a rear drive car I would have been hooked but I guess I got bit by the Evo bug, and there''s no cure for me.
An Audi A4 would make a nice daily driver though.

completely disagree. and for the record i love my 84 GSL-SE. great car. very reliable. never had to boost it even with 3 weeks of -40. drives very well in tonnes of snow.
as far as gas mileage, worse than a truck pulling a trailer.

Dude dont come in here and try and argue that the rotary motor is reliable. It is not. you cant make power from them without 3mm seals and rebuilding the motor every 40k. I know these cars from personal experience. Not to mention a normal piston motor say that makes over 600HP on a t04r like the supra the RX7 is so ineffecient that it will make only like 520. They make alot less power than they should and still have no Tq. Not to mention they sound awful when they are modded. The FD is not very comfy either. it is for short times but there is not much room to move and relax. Plus if you havent ever sat in the driver seat of an FD then you need to, because you need to be like 5''9 to fit in the small car but like 6''3 to see over the Tall ass dashboard. The dash really sucks in that car you can not seemuch of the road and the steering wheel does not adjust
AS for the a4 I would stay away from that. lots of $$$$$ in repair bills lol. If you want luxo and sports car TRUST me and test drive a supra. It is by far the most comfy car I have ever driven that is a sports car and no offence gus it is more comfy than the vette ,well atleast the c5. The Term cobra is a great car as well but it is a ford hahaha. Id take a z06 over that probably

yeah, I''ve been doing a bit of research and the A4 cost quite a bit when it comes to repairs.
I would consider a supra but it seems a bit too big for me, literally. I’m 5”7 and the interior seems so spacious.
Normally that’s a good thing, and for you, I’m guessing you are taller and feel extremely comfortable in it.
For me, if I had to get a 2 door, I’d go with a S2000. I’d leave the supra for someone taller.
The Evo has quite a bit of room as well but it’s a 4 door and the Recaro seats do a good job keeping me in one spot.
As far as the rx7, I’ve heard that those burn oil, a lot. Never owned one but I had a good friend that thought his rx7 hated him.
For the Cobras and Vetts, both awsome cars but I got to stick with the Japaneese.......thats what I grew up on and understand the the best.

RX do burn oil, alot of it. and you need to put additives in with the gas fill ups and change the oil every like 1500 if you want to try and stay reliable.
As for the supra. They are not huge cars man. They were built for the 5''4 japan drift racers lol. The passengers side has alot of room the drivers side is perfect. I am only 5''9-5''10 so I am not much taller. The best thing about the supra is the dash and its layout. it is a drivers car. everything is angled strongly at the driver so bad the in the passengers seat you can even see the climate controlls or radio. Also the gauges are so perfectly visable they are very big and right there in your face.
