The new GTI is hot! Neuspeed and many other aftermarket companies available to take it to the 5th power..

GTI out of that choice. However, I am not sure I would like any of them after being used to the IS.

GTI I guess, at least it looks more expensive and the interior is far suprior than the other 2.. 2.0T has a lot of potential too..

Well, the car will be taken to the body shop for estimate tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get the good word that it is fixable but so far the word hasn't been too good. I've realized ultimately that none of the cars I listed are really cars I want. I only had 1 year left to pay off my IS and it would have been mine. Current KBB value for it is about $17K. With that said, I only have 2 quarters left of college and then it's off to work so the more I think about it, the next big thing I'd like to purchase is a house. I'll probably buy some cheap used car for now until I graduate, get a job, a house and hopefully all the while put aside money each month to get the car I REALLY want in 2 years (E92 M3). Thanks everyone for your replies.

1st GTI/DSG
2nd tC
3rd wrx

All good cars, all different with different purposes. Just have to figure out what suits you/your needs most at this point in your life. Always remember thou to buy the one you'll have the least regrets with reguardless of cost.

I totaled my IS300 back in March and bought another. Try doing that.
