New stablemate...
Replacement for the wife's M3 which goes off lease. Will make more sense for a year around car in Iowa winters.... when we have to be in Iowa during the winter!
Maybe it's not a another 914, but sat radio, wind blocker and 265hp turbo motor and AWD not bad!!

I'll be getting a winter wheel-tire combo. Done that for all the quattros. Have a set of Blizzacks on the A8 right now. Don't like going from 19" to 18" but it's only for the winter!! Didn't bother with the M3 because I thought it would be worthless even with good snows. We had a 540i sport I put winter-wheel tires on and it did just ok. The quattros will go anywhere as long as the snow isn't REAL deep.

That's the good thing about a TT- not a real sports car per se but fun to drive, will go anywhere, and who does interiors better than Audi?? Yeah for all out performance the M3 is a better car, but 20mpg with a tailwind does get old. I'd prefer a stick but the DSG is a decent alternative, and I can always take out the 914 or GT3 if I want to row the gears, in the right weather that is.
Our previous TT with the right winter tires was probably the best winter I've ever had. Small agile and a blast in the snow as long as there weren't a lot of other idiots around you.
