Goes to show that taste is a very personal thing, I actually quite like that although I wouldn't want one myself.
Despite it being garish as hell it's still a great place to be sat. Every time I've driven a 944 it's felt a bit special.
My favourite interior is the hideous black and white check on the earlier cars, I love 80's chic.

keep all ure doors locked and even windows if need be after it's getting cold and alot of cars have aircon, if someone tries to flag u down do not stop however innocent. i've can recall being flagged down and i literally swerved around them i aint taking no risks. and be prepared to run them over if u cannot avoid them rather than stop, if they step out in your path it's their own fault. i know this wouldn't solve all scenarios ie from doorwar to car vice/versa but cuts out a few?

or maybe it's just too slow for a getaway car?

never had a problem with my 200SX either. No-one really knows what it is and in a dark colour and standard (I.E. Subtle) trim, I have left it in places I wouldnt dream of leaving my old cossie and it aint been touched.

My Rover 200 BRM locks itself when you move off due to the fancy Clifford alarm, now no ****** is going to want to nick that are they !
Have to add, its actually a very good car despite etc etc
They dont go for the Fiat as they want a better than 50% chance of getting home.

Aaquil I convinced myself over a bottle of wine that an RS4 will have lost less money in 4 years than any S4 - especially one that has had 'tuning' money spent on it. Isnt that the most convincing of arguments - BRILLIANT I thought! 
(virtually 4 days now...450bhp

XR4i, debadged? Find one in good nick and you'll have more grins than most modern stuff.
Gutsy v6, not the quickest thing out there, but the noise and low rev torque is something you sorely miss when you jump back into a modern rice rocket.
Avoid later 4pots (very very slow). And avoid the 4x4 at all costs unless you find a very good example or want to have your wallet lightened after a broken front halfshaft wipes out all of your transmission case.

I would love to have an RS4 as well...when I'm a rich man. I hope you all the best with it.

Saab 9000 aero. Looks like a big barge but handles well, and with 225bhp as standard it can see off most hot hatches and quite a few imprezzas easily. Oh and for £440 quid you can raise it to just under 300bhp and the tea leaf's will be none the wiser.
Cost from 3-5k for a really good one

Get Audi ( not old UR or WR- they still are headturners). Audi make good performance cars but very boring looking indeed.......
Less chance of getting stolen..........
(apologies to Audi lovers in advance! I will get my coat)
