I'm shopping for a new DD. Depending on who you ask, it's time to either put the trusty 84k miles '96 Cherokee in someone else's hands (my queen), or to supplement it with a new DD (her jester).

I'm rather enamored of the Audi A3 Quattro. I've been doing a lot of reading and I'm sort of leaning towards a ~2007 3.2 V6 over the 2.0T or 2.0 TDI diesel (only available in FWD).

Other vehicles on the fringes of my mind are Mazda 3 hatchback, Mazda CX-7, VW GTI, Infiniti M35 or M37. Not a big BMW fan (plus my wife hates bimmers).

I thought it would be dumb not to inquire with my car buddies here who are far smarter and experienced when it comes to these four-wheeled hunks of metal that drink fossil fuels.

Comments, criticism, donations, and hijacks are hereby requested!
