right now I own a 2010 subaru impreza 2.0(not the wrx) which is good enough for me performance-wise. the thing I really like about it is the all wheel drive, the things I hate are the cheap interior, horrible sound system, too large for a hatchback, not so good looks and lack of presence, it's a car that simply does not catch the eye inside or outside.
the cars available in brazil that I am currently considering are:
contender A: Audi A1 sportback S-line R$119,000(about 55k USD)
182HP 184lb/ft torque
Pros:
large sunroof
amazing sound system
very small(good since brazil is a bit like europe in the sense that streets and roads are narrow and parking space is almost non existant)
Cons:
FWD
cramped back seat
can only fit 2 people in the back
surfboard can barely fit inside
very small trunk
Contender B: BMW 118i R$113,900(about 52k USD)
170HP 184lb/ft torque
Pros:
RWD
roomier back seat
larger trunk
surfboard fits ok
Cons:
no sunroof(available only on 120i which is R$20,000 more)
sound system not so great
a bit larger(finding a parking spot will be harder and parallel parking it will be a bitch)
any other suggestions are welcome but remember I live in brazil so some cars might not be available.
so, what would you pick?
