Fucking Audi A5 2.0T. Piece of donkey dung engine.

Worst - 1997 3 Series

I keep it around because it was still my first beamer


Best Car - 986 Boxster S

Despite the IMS stigma they can be reliable cars as long as you drive them like you're supposed to.

Love the way I can go hot in corners and it's all very controlled and predictable as opposed the the 911 which is more about recovery than control.

Practical Vehicle - 957 Cayenne Turbo

It only cost me about 10k, has cost me almost nothing to keep running and it's comfier than a similarly priced Jeep.

Porsche is the best

Looking for a used AWD SUV ~$20k price point, what would you recommend? Ideally 2012 or later with under 100k miles. Reliability and low lifetime maintenance costs are number 1 priority.
