Default How about the Mazdaspeed6 for the same (or maybe less) money?
One review referred to it as "a poor man's S4". Plus, the AWD is a nice advantage over the MS3.

There have been many advances in fwd. Torque steer is nothing like it used to be.

True, but that depends on the car. I drove a newish Lexus ES330 and tq steer was apparent as well.

2nd that. I looked at the Speed6. Awd is huge. Pickup is ok. Good overall car.

Default My wifes B5 fwd Passat is blast to drive even with auto. It's almost as fun as my quattro. TS is...
slightly present but it doesn't diminish control of the vehicle at all. I guess it would be a problem if you didn't have power steering.

A little small for my needs, but looks like a great car.
